Today I once again faced a profile photo removal and a temporary block — all because moderation apparently can’t (or won’t) read and apply the site's own rules properly.
Here’s the political rule as written:
So here’s my question: why can’t the administration take a bit of time to clarify the rules more precisely?
Why don’t the mods take action against users whose profiles say things like “Only UK,” “No Indians,” “No white guys,” etc.? Isn’t that racial discrimination? Oh, right — apparently that doesn’t violate the rules. According to the mods, at least. Even though it absolutely could be interpreted as racism.
Then we’ve got the ongoing issue of fake profiles and stolen images — people uploading pictures of random internet users or even celebrities. Isn’t that identity theft? How about introducing at least basic photo verification?
But no — all that gets ignored. What can’t be tolerated, apparently, is one piece of political art, even when it's neutral. Seems like this site has no shortage of overly sensitive souls.
By that logic, even a moderator named "Archangel" could be reported — he's using religious imagery and a sacred name. In many countries, that’s considered blasphemy, and it’s legally punishable. So where’s the consistency?
I just want rules that apply equally — even to those meant to enforce them.

Notice: it clearly refers to main chat only. Nowhere does it say that political-themed imagery in a profile is forbidden. And yet, I was penalized for an image a mod deemed a "caricature" — even though it didn’t mock or satirize anyone, so technically it wasn’t even a caricature.
