Moderator replies refer to unlisted rules

Hi there, I have received countless false moderation actions taken against my account regarding posts I made, but that’s not the point of this topic.

What I’m here to bring up is that the rules that moderators are attaching are outdated.

To me, it appears that moderation enforced outdated rules.

Hi, please only use #forum-help:forum-bugs for bug reports, this is more of a moderation policy that needs to be updated. I moved your thread and also clarified the title.

Yes, we’re aware of that and we’ll update it in the future. Thanks for bearing with.

For the record, I made a post regarding a similar issue (that is now closed and unlisted) over 3 months ago.

Namely I will highlight these specific sections.

Hello Hooksmith, sorry for asking, it’s been around half a year since the new rules were announced, and this is getting pretty frustrating. Has there been any progress on the policy update?

Also, as said above, moderators are still taking down messages that contain indirect profanity in private categories. Is this a result of the same issue?

I checked in just now and the team is still working on it, they expect to have an update soon.

Do we expect the update thing to be in the updates category on the dev forum here once it releases?

I don’t think so since the forum rules have already been updated previously. This feature request is just about the fact that some of the messaging the moderators use is outdated.

I can confirm this is still happening:

I was not even aware “same/similar post” was even a valid takedown reason considering I didn’t even get told what it was a duplicate of. The topic was up for 3 or so days before this happened so I’m kinda at a loss but this is slightly annoying.
