I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
If you wish to contest a tag being removed from your article, then please message us privately at yo@dev.to.
The tag moderators are doing excellent work to keep the content on DEV organized for the community. It's not helpful to continuously post articles questioning these decisions whenever a tag is removed from one of your post, and it's unacceptable to target this very supportive team of volunteers with such a disrespectful tone. Understand, no one here is removing tags from your post without reason, they are acting thoughtfully and without bias toward you. If they make a mistake when removing one of your tags, it's just that — a mistake. I genuinely believe every one of our mods is acting out of good faith to try and improve the user experience on DEV, and they are doing excellent work.
I do understand your frustration with having tags removed from your posts, but we have explained previously how to properly contest a tag being removed and the reason why we sometimes act to remove tags. If we make decisions to change our process, it will be after careful consideration. That being said, I don't think the system is broken. For now, we've decided that it's more important to be able to act quickly to remove tags than it is to have a lengthy review process for these decisions. Perhaps we'll change this in the future, but not necessarily.
Lastly, I ask that you please give our Code of Conduct a thorough read before participating further. Remember that there are people on the other end here. We have feelings and ask that you be respectful. We're honestly trying to be considerate of your point of view and will always be patient & kind in our interactions here, but we also expect you to present your point of view considerately and grant us this same patience and kindness.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
