When we merge together multiple postings of an image, we remove comments about it being already-posted as being off-topic (since merging is essentially invisible to users).
Here’s what’s confusing me.
Someone made the false (but reasonable) assumption that these posts were made by different people. I corrected them… then I get hit with a rule violation while they didn’t. That’s what’s confusing me. I’ll accept getting hit by that, but I don’t get why they didn’t. And if it’s because I made an earlier comment that got hit, then 1. I was responding to other comments so I could clear up potential confusion both times, and 2. Making an earlier comment or not shouldn’t matter, since it’s discussing meta information on the image that breaks the rule.
I’m not trying to start something here, I’m honestly curious. I get confused by things like this easily, even in my real life. So if I can get some clarification on this, that would be nice. I’m also posting this here and not on the image because this is where we discuss meta things.
