Rude, authoritarian, ignorant staff, seeming to be possessed by some bizarre ideology, imposed by methods of coercion and exclusion. With their Kafkaesque behaviour and cryptic rules, they create an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty. The site itself is well designed and minimalist. Although they are trying to change this in a campaign that has been going on for years. It seems to target niche communities. Its democratic system of contributions may deceive you to believe it is an independent cool project, but the site is far from democratic. I would say they developed a strange ethical system straight out of a $#*!'s or Huxley's dystopia where robots have taken over the government and the law if enforced by Judges Dredd.

My case: Member since 2011 to 2020 I was a very active contributor. Banned twice. First time for decorative use of swastika in title of my popular list dealing with folk metal for which I was featured as a helpful user by the community itself. These bands use such iconography. Perfectly natural pagan thing. Not my concern that some bands are NS. I cut myself off from this ideology in the description, but allegedly I used some problematic language. It was named by the staff "a nationalistic/supremacist dog whistle" and I was directly refused a "benefit of the doubt". After what I have done for RYM. I agreed to delete that. I was not given the opportunity. Yep, they are really rude Facebook's staff rejectamenta. First time since 6 years, since publishing the list, anyone said something even remotely linked to NS was the RYM staff. Yep, total ignoramus, as well. Second account, ban for claim that a script for a film is $#*!ed, posted in film's comment box. Truly unreal regression to kindergarten. It appears they have an unpublished index of forbidden words. Asked why they do not forbid the word "slave" as well, due to its offending half of the Europe etymology I received a condescending response. So I made another account. Banned for bypassing the ban. This time I do not have an alibi. I still would use the site, because it is the best in my opinion and it helped me get through the hard times in life, but the staff sabotaging it in some mad stupor. Not worth of anyone's time.
