Posts being removed that announce public gatherings

Why? Today there is a public gathering at the Civic Plaza at 2pm. People have been trying to announce it on this sub, only to have the announcements removed because the event is political in nature. Is this a new subreddit rule?

Edit: This is the post that was removed. NOTE: I just now added the red line to the word pr*t*est just in case that terrible word triggers the bots.

Second Edit: The image was deleted again. Let's try this again.

Yeah IDK…there are two recent this week posts on this sub. If you search for hands off you’ll find them. I didn’t try searching any other ways. Maybe they were removed because they were dups. 🤷‍♀️

There was a policy update post regarding protest posts that was pinned for a while, a couple of months ago. From that post:

Hi all. With the recent political climate we've, not surprisingly, seen a big uptick in posts promoting political protests. Along with it, there has been a lot of duplication, some spam, and some concern voiced with regard to legitimacy of the some information we've seen posted.

To enable dialogue and promotion of these events while keeping suspect information and spam down to a minimum, going forward, posts organizing/promoting these types of events are subject to the following.

  1. Posts must include who is organizing the event, preferably with a link.
  2. One post per event is allowed; duplicates will be removed.
  3. Accounts posting must have previous activity in the r/Albuquerque subreddit, and must be at least one year old.
  4. Posts that include suspect or conflicting information will be removed.

I think we're open to adjusting as time goes on, but let's start here. As always, please Modmail if you've got questions, or to check on status of a specific post.

Perhaps. I didn't see them when I posted last night.
