Hello!

First of all, let me offer some context. My home town is Tampere, which has an emergency siren test every monday at 12. This has sparked a local jodel meme: dozens of users spam the main feed full of "humorous" war-related jodels during this test. The main feed is unusable for some 15 minutes, as all other content is washed under this barrage of spam. I have suggested several times for a separate channel to be formed for this, to no avail. I can only imagine what a new jodel user, arriving on main feed for the first time during this spam-meme, thinks about Tampere Jodel. A lot of the moderators have stated they know this begaviour is against the rules and will still allow it. I have flagged and moderated to remove these spam posts.

Here is the problem: most moderators do npot flag this spam, and will in fact also allow it when they encounter it in their moderation queue. This creates a situation where i will seem to work against the moderation concensus, although i am just following the rules - others are not, en masse, which is why i think your algorithm removed my moderator status. This isn't exatly fair.

I suggest you either make a notification/rules amendment that allows this weekly spam, or set up a new channel for it ("maanantaisota"). At least moderators enforcing the written rules should not lose their status over this. I would thusly appreciate being reinstated as a moderator, as i love my home town and feel i have had, and still have, lot to contribute to the community. I will be happy to further clarify the issue if needed!

For your consideration,

Jani Nummela
