2 locked threads about phones (iPhone 13)

(Cross-posted this from Reddit because I actually put it there first... sorry)

Can someone please just explain to me why?!
Since the mods won't bother explaining why they shut down my threads right there in the topic... I guess they’re out here playing God, despite having zero qualifications for the job☕
Both threads were about the iPhone 13.

In the first one, I was asking the "experts" here for some advice... only to end up on page 17 of a thread about that phone filled with such incredibly STUPID arguments that I couldn't learn a single thing about the device—and then some genius mod wipes my post... Apparently, they're just so damn smart they can read through all that garbage and figure everything out themselves☕

Then in the second one, I ask for an opinion comparing the 5130 and the iPhone 13, and I get deleted again?!?!
What the hell did I do wrong by saying "gentlemen"???
How am I supposed to word things so you guys can stay happy with your little egos?

What is the point of this freaking forum if we aren't allowed to discuss stuff???

Has anyone else posted a similar question where there was a massive debate going on that I somehow missed, or are you guys seriously just acting like you're God?

And look, if you're gonna ban me, at least have some decency and send me a DM.

Thanks

Someone please explain why!
Since the mods won't even say why they closed my threads... I guess they just love playing God, even though they aren't exactly qualified for it, right? ☕

Guess he's just too smart to let me participate in that mess, huh? ☕

How am I supposed to word things so your precious asses are happy?

What's even the point of this damn forum if we can't discuss stuff???

Has anyone else asked the exact same thing and ended up in a massive debate, or are you guys seriously just acting like Gods?

I get that you're frustrated about your posts being shut down, so I'm going to ignore the hostile tone you've taken here.
There’s really no need for the swearing or the nonsense.
The threads were closed because the titles didn't follow the Code of Conduct, which basically means you didn't bother to read the rules, and it's disrespectful to the moderators.

In every subforum under Mobile Tech, there's a pinned topic in all caps that says USERS, so please watch how you title your threads.
Also, don't forget there's a Code of Conduct.

What is a moderator supposed to do if a user ignores everything?
I'm not going to comment on the "playing God" part because that's not a great way to put it. Moderating is nothing like playing God. Honestly!

There’s really no need for the swearing or any of that nonsense.
The threads were locked because the titles didn't follow the Code of Conduct—basically, if the title doesn't match what you actually clicked on, it's insulting to the mods.

In every single sub-forum under the Mobile Telephony section, there's a massive pinned topic in all caps labeled USERS—just pay attention to how you title your threads.
And then, obviously, there's the Code of Conduct.

What is a moderator supposed to do if a user just decides to ignore all of that?
As for that "playing God" comment... honestly, I won't even dignify it. It's poorly phrased, and let me tell you, moderating is lightyears away from playing God. Seriously!

Yeah, sure. I haven't read the Code of Conduct. 🙄
My tone is the way it is because I don't buy for a second that two of my threads could just vanish without a single word from any mod... and what am I even supposed to think now?🤷
I think what you guys are doing isn't right☕ and I'm definitely not the only one who feels this way.☕
Just take my apology and let's move on.🙂
But seriously, I think you should actually give someone a reason when you delete their post.😉

If you’ve got a grievance, just bring it up right here in the subforum. That's exactly why this thread exists—to get a feel for how everyone's thinking and what you'd change about the place.
Every online community needs rules; without them, things would just descend into total chaos, making it impossible for anyone to actually enjoy the site.

No worries at all, apology accepted! 👍
