Just got this thread deleted on r/Republican so maybe someone here can help me out.

Hello, just wanted to see if anyone was in a similar situation/experienced this or can give me some advice.

I’m a nurse who had signed a 2 year residency program with a hospital and have been working for 1 year now. The terms state that I must complete at least (2) years of employment at a .75 FTE OR owe $3,000.

I have opted out of receiving the COVID vaccine and have sent a religious exemption. I am waiting to hear about the exemption request. It is stated by the state governor that health care workers cannot be scheduled on/after a certain date if they are not vaccinated or don’t have a medical/religious exemption.

If they were to deny my religious exemption, would I be considered “fired”? And if so, would I have to repay that contract fee of $3,000? I cannot seem to find in my contract any information about being fired from my residency contract with the hospital.

Thank you

r/republican my comment was “you know you gotta grab em by” in a post about Larry King’s video about Biden’s accuser being deleted in google play. Rule number 5

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-was-most-prepared-country-in-the-world-for-pandemics-johns-hopkins-study-found-in-2019

It says in the article that the study is from 2019, some were commenting like it proved that the virus won't affect us much and I though it was a bit dangerous to get false info. So I added the following message, it is completely true and not taking shots against anyone.

Quick note, this was a study from 2019. In 2020 the coronavirus has shown that South Korea is the country most ready and it isn't even close.

I was told I broke Rule 5, but I wasn't pushing "leftist talking points". If the "isn't even close" offended I'd understand remove comment or something but permanent ban?

So I find myself a bit in Reddit Limbo right now. I really enjoy Reddit as a platform. I believe I've found a really good amount of stimulation on here so far as social media goes. I'm a fairly conservative guy on most issues. I think of myself as a pretty loyal Republican in general.

Where I've run into trouble in Reddit world is finding a Conservative corner that I can identify with. I've followed r/Republican for a bit, but I feel as if that sub is mostly devoted to personal attacks on Left Wing figures and Right Wing self-inflation. Plus, I had voiced some concern over Trump's handling of the Coronavirus and my post was taken down without any rule citation.

I'm a patriot. I believe that my country can do and has done great things. At the same time I generally believe in limited government. I also believe in personal responsibility.

However , I dont believe that everyone who has a slightly different perspective than me should be called a "Libtard", "RINO", and have their character, family and patriotism questioned at every turn.

Is that the kind if thing yall are about, or is this one of those times where I need to go back the way I came?

All the best.

I love fiscal conservatism. Absolutely love it. I love states doing whatever they please, as long as it doesn't become discriminate. I don't love the news. Any of it. So some big parts of me are Republican leaning and certainly core values about how a country should be run.

I was banned quite a while ago from the sub. I don't love Trump, and I don't love the increase in memes, turning it into something that more closely resembles /r/conservative.

So could I be unbanned, and should I be? Do I still fit into the group of people the sub is aimed at? Who is the sub for anymore exactly?

Discussion for post: https://old.reddit.com/r/Republican/comments/8jc1sd/reminder_this_is_a_partisan_prorepublican/

I guess it's a rule four ban.

Oh well, I'be been banned from TD anyway.

Like don't get me wrong if that's what you individually want to believe than go ahead, but if this sub is going to promote anti-Trump (the Republican president) material, why not just throw t_d on the related subs list? (being facetious of course)

Keep in mind well over half the GOP base voted for Trump, so whether you individually like him or not it's extremely biased to have "Hindsight in 2020" as a related subreddit to this sub.

Unless you guys just want to blatantly come out and say Fuck Trump...but if you have that attitude are you really the best representation of the Republican party?

I see a lot of talk on here (republican and metaRepublican) about who is far right and who isn't. I think it's worth having a Subwide poll to see where people stack up. The specific quiz I referenced in the title

I was banned for violating Rule 11 and I'm not sure why. I recently complimented the Bushes, agreed with Yosoff on a topic, gave other people shit for seemingly trolling the sub with scare tactics and called out somebody for Mass posting in our sub.

I did call Trump polarizing, not sure if that's worth a ban, waiting on an answer.

Edit: I got additional information.

You broke Rule 11.

• Rule 11. "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican." (Reagan's 11th Commandment)

You could have said; "I disagree with Trump on position X because reason Y." That would have been fine, but you didn't do that. You simply threw out generic insults.

Try /r/Tuesday, they'll let you do stuff like that there.

My guess is that calling Trump polarizing got me banned.

You know you're a place for free speech when you can someone for saying they have an opinion.

That was a post title on /r/conservative... I just wanted to reply to the question but I can't since I've been banned:

What you guys can do about it is stop being cowards who need safe spaces and go and participate on /r/politics, the main political subreddit. Oh boo-fucking-hoo you are the minority there, maybe you'll learn to appreciate the struggle of people who are actually minorities within our society. They don't have the luxury of going off and making their own sanitized safe-space like you've done with /r/conservative and /r/republican.

Bunch of fucking cowards... you retreated and gave up your voice on the main political section of one of the biggest websites on the internet viewed by millions every day. How many active users do you guys have, a few thousand? How many people view the stuff on /r/politics every day? Tens of millions? You lost Reddit because you are cowards too afraid of being called out on your beliefs by those who don't share them.

My Fellow Republicans:

I present to you, a subreddit with discussion, a subreddit with debate, a subreddit like no other. If you like r/Republican, you'll love r/Tuesday!

r/Tuesday is new subreddit for the dying center-right of American politics that welcomes both moderate Republicans and moderate Democrats. We post news, policy briefs, and discussion from that perspective, and are seeking to revive mainstream moderate conservatism both online and in Washington. The name comes from the Tuesday Group: an informal caucus (some would say Power Cabal) for centrist House Republicans currently led by Congressman Charlie Dent.

(And yes. They meet on Tuesday. Their previous iteration was called "the Wednesday Group" because they met on Wednesday. They tend to compensate for their strength in policy with a weakness in the snazzy names department).

If you're a right-leaning moderate or centrist, r/Tuesday is the place for you! We're an active subreddit, with a bi-weekly discussion thread and continual updates from policy and news sources as fast as our users can find them. And after a short period of approved submitter only, we are now open for business! Come join us, and keep alive the flame of the moderate center-right.

Thank you,

Autarch_Severian

Whats with the lack of bans over people insulting John Kasich?

There's literally people in that thread calling him a pussy and actively encouraging him to leave the Republican Party, and it doesn't seem to be an issue for the mods.

I see much less getting removed from threads when people disagree with some stances the Republican Party takes, but calling John Kasich a pussy is fine?

Edit: Got banned because this post shows a lack of constructive criticism and is just trolling apparently

It's almost comical that "articles" from this website gets posted every other day. You can't make this shit up.

I just got banned for "Rule 5. Do not make comments consisting entirely of leftist talking points or defending leftist ideology.

Looking at my entire comment history on Reddit, I cannot figure out what supposedly ran afoul of that. In all eight of my Reddit comments (long time lurker very infrequent poster), I can't find one that is a leftist talking point or defends leftist ideology.

In reverse order:

1. /u/IBiteYou said she could not find an Arizona poll on health care that was more recent than a year old. I found one, posted a link, and summarized the results given in the the poll.

2. Farther up in that same comment thread in direct response to the comment where /u/IBiteYou posted the older poll results and summarized them, and said that McCain is not representing the interests of his constituents, I asked if Senators are supposed to represent the interests of the constituents at time of election or at the time that they vote on legislation, and mentioned poll results that indicate Arizona residents (Republican and Democrat) have changed their opinions on healthcare in the last year.

3. In /r/The_Donald, on a story about a rape in Utah, the submitted headline said perps were African migrants. The submitted story just said that they were from a suburb of Salt Lake City, Utah. I asked where the submitted got the information that they were immigrants, and he responded citing a different article that had more information than the submitted one.

4. In a discussion submitted by /u/DEYoungRepublicans of an article warning that Republicans should not underestimate the risks of Sander's push for single-payer, I agreed that Republicans need to be careful because Democrats are trying to get people to think that single-payer is the only way to get universal healthcare, and if Democrats succeed in making that link we are going to end up at some point with single-payer.

I went on to point out that there are countries with universal health care that do NOT use single-payer and that have outcomes as good as or better than the US currently does at half the cost, and named a specific such country, Switzerland, and suggested that Republicans should take a good hard look at how Switzerland achieved that and put together a plan based on that. I picked Switzerland because they are a highly capitalistic country, with a limited Federal government under which the Cantons (equivalent of our States) have much power and independence, The Heritage Foundation and Wall Street Journal's "Index of Economic Freedom" ranks them at #4 in the world (which is higher than the US, which they rank as #10), and their health care system is largely based on private providers. In other words, Switzerland is close to what Republicans say the US should be not only in health care but also in the structure of federal/state government in general.

5. Someone posted a link about hospitals in Britain having worse outcomes on weekends, implying that this was due to Britain having single-payer. Britain does in fact have a worse outcome on weekends. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with single-payer as this same problem, called the "Weekend Effect", happens in the US and all or almost all other Western health care systems. I linked to the Wikipedia article on the weekend effect, which in turn cites numerous studies about this including many on its prevalence in the US.

6. I asked why /r/conservative doesn't appear to get a large number of outsiders down-voting things. Someone had said /r/republican gets that because large conservative reddits are being targeted, but /r/conservative is 3x as big as /r/republican.

7. In /r/conservative, someone implied that the juror pool is just registered voters. I commented that it used to be that way, but most states now, including California, also put people in the juror poll from driver license records.

8. A joke comment in /r/AskReddit 5 years ago that had no political or ideological comment whatsoever.

Anyone have any ideas where the leftist talking points are in there?

I made some arguments in support of a popular vote. I think that there are strong arguments on all sides of the EC issue, and at no point was I disrespectful.

I was banned with a Rule 5 citation, even though there are plenty of conservatives who, like me, believe that the EC is unfair to voters. I messaged the mods and asked (politely, I might add) why I had been banned. I did not receive a reply for a full 24 hours, so I asked again. I received a curt reply and then was muted from replying for 72 hours. At no point was I rude or disrespectful.

I would like my ban overturned, please.

Half these "moderate" republicans irritate me at times too with the incessant Trump bashing, that being said, these are the sorta people we should focus on pulling back in for future years, isn't banning them just forcing them into the dems hands? I might get banned for this, but I think, even if we (I certainly do) disagree with them, banning them is not correct

I dont understand it. If defending him causes you to get banned and demoted from mod to regular user why is he on the prominent GOP figure sidebar?!

Edit: Well ive been banned. Its trolling to tell 1st amendment advocator yosoff if he doesnt like Kasich to remove him from the sidebar of prominent republicans. Its been fun guys.

http://i.imgur.com/f6enGkE.png?1 Blocked out the username as he and the other mods will know who it is.

1. Climate Change: Many of our representatives believe in Climate Change and the human causes behind it. In March, 17 GOP Representatives introduced a resolution to the House calling for action against the changing climate. I am a climate alarmist for acknowledging Climate Change? Are you anti-science and anti-logic for denying it? There are many more examples of GOP backed climate change policies and stances, many of our military branches have also deemed climate change as the largest non-military threat to the US. How am I banned because of this?

2. Anti-Trump: This isn't a Trump subreddit, this is a Republican subreddit. We discuss policies, agendas, and how to implement a conservative approach to the government. My focus is on fiscal responsibility, of which Trump is lacking, so I point that out. Are we blind followers that cannot point out improvements? It is part of the 1st amendment after all.

3. Pro-DACA: I push for a fiscally minded approach to policies, cut the fat and have the most bang for the buck. DACA was an overreach of executive power, but the results of it were a net positive on the economy and work force (more taxes that weren't there before, and a better educated workforce). The goal of DACA is what I supported, but not the means to get there, and I am hopeful that Congress will see the benefits of a DACA similar immigration policy can bring to the US's workforce and economy. Set aside my stance, there are many sitting GOP members who share a similar belief that DACA is a positive but needs to be brought through Congress.

Can I please be unbanned? I am aligned with many sitting and previous GOP members, why am I silenced by sharing those stances?

OK, I just got banned. I'm not going to ask for un-banning, but would like to know why I was banned.

The ban was in response to a comment of mine that was a reply to a comment that mentioned climate change and hurricanes, and suggested that this is not a significant issue. This was my comment:

------ begin comment -----

Speaking of hurricanes and climate change...

Number of category 4 hurricanes per year:

----- end comment ----

I'm at a loss to figure out what rule that violated.

There is a poster on /r/republican that has broken 3 rules: 4, 6, 11.

He/She has insulted current Republicans (shit posted the sub disparaging a Republican, spread fake news ((Kasich making a joint ticket, which he has denied)), and posted threads that are very blatantly anti-Republican.

Why is this poster still allowed access after blanantly breaking half of the rules?

Stickied post accusing Kasich of supporting amnesty and Obamacare and wanting to "spend more."

My comment pointing out that Reagan did the same thing (gasp! there are more than one type of Republican!) and expressing disappointment that we're eating our own

Message to the moderators saying I thought the post violated Rule 11 (ironically, "Reagan's Rule"); Yosoff replies to say no, the post doesn't violate the rule but somehow my comment about Reagan does!

Immediately muted, of course, I assume because the reasoning is indefensible. Would love for someone here to point out where I went wrong

I was browsing in offline mode, and I noticed some of my posts don't appear. They haven't been downvoted (as far as I can tell), they just don't show up. Is there something I'm missing here?

Thanks!

I was apparently banned for rule 4 because my last 6 comments were heavily anti-republican

http://imgur.com/a/x1IWH

As you can see none of my comments were anti-republican, my 6th actually criticizing democrats. If linking Trump's budget is actually considered anti-republican why aren't we all banned then? Also why did Yossof (who's committed multiple rule 4 and rule 11 violations) ban me for something I didn't do?

Would love to hear from another mod of r/republican

Thanks in advance

This sub used to be a place where you could get a good even mix of positions and ideas across the spectrum of the Right. Every once in a while there would be someone who got out of line and was dealt with but for the most part the links posted and the discussions within were civil and on topic.

That isn't the case anymore. This place has become T_D light. I'm starting to see memes posted and even stickied? Most of the recent articles aren't pro-Republican but instead anti-democrat. I'm not here to bitch about democrats. I do that enough at home. I'm here, or at least I was, to discuss Republican policy and Republican positions with other Republicans... across the spectrum!
