Whatever the reason I wanted to make everyone aware of it.

And maybe u/magnora7 will decide to take them off /s/all. Not that I necessarily want that, but if other subs are going to be taken off due to arbitrary censorship then /s/LGBDropTheT shouldn't get a special pass.

I'm pretty sure they're not on all. As an admin, you can check in the sub settings in the other settings section.

"allow this sub to be included in /s/all as well as the default and trending lists"

I do see it on /s/all sometimes. But only sometimes, so maybe it's a bug. I am not subscribed either.

Admins sometimes see more than a regular user. As an admin you can look at the actual setting. The rules just say you can't change it. But looking is fine.

I checked and the sub is not on all. Regular users can check if a sub is not on all here. https://saidit.net/subs/notall/

It's important to know for sure if a sub is on all because the rules for admins state that admins are not allowed to moderate subs that are not on all except advocating violence is still moderated.

I don't want to look because it wouldn't be fair to everyone else. But /s/all is what I browse looking for things to moderate, and really the only thing I browse at all.

However, I was able to confirm that /s/LGBDropTheT is indeed not on /s/all because of this page: https://saidit.net/subs/notall

That's a little concerning, because I do see it on /s/all quite often. Not most of the time, but enough not to notice anything out of the ordinary. The only thing I can think of is if they've gone on and off. Unfortunately this can't be checked unless it was done very recently, because the moderation logs only go back 2 months. But I was able to see my own comments in that sub on /s/all today. It's possible they're an exception because they're my own, but I've never seen it work that way before. I'd link the page, but unfortunately since they're removed they won't appear for anyone else. There is likely a bug here.

What you see depends on if you are an admin or not. As a regular user I've never seen them on all. I doubt they would ever want to be on all. Moderate them for violence only but other than that they can run their sub however they wish to. They can ban or not ban people for whatever reason they want. It's part of the beauty of Saidit.

I do see more from that sub on /s/all in admin mode, which doesn't make sense either. But when I turn it off some of it goes away, but some of it remains. I'll have to check the source code at some point because there's something broken here.

I can't remember the last time I took action in that sub, if ever, and I don't believe I implied that I was going to now.
