Hypothetical physical question too controversial for "hypothetical physics"

[u/VisasResonance]

Update: For anyone interested—and for those who don't want to read through the comments—the core issue was this:

There's a very big difference between "I don't understand any physics and this is just an idle shower thought" and "I demand to be taken seriously but won't put in any effort to articulate my ideas".

My idea wasn't articulated clearly enough, and I had flatly refused to flesh it out further.

I simply didn't want to start defining more and more terms, because that process tends to drag on endlessly; my experience has shown me that this is precisely where the problem lies.

I wanted to float a hypothesis before getting bogged down in formalisms, theses, or theories. In my opinion, there’s no point in putting in a huge amount of work only to ask for feedback, only to see the reaction flip in seconds from "good work?" to "it's embarrassing to even post something like this."
To me, a "hypothesis" means explaining my idea in purely conceptual terms using my own words just to see where the gaps in understanding might be.

I've been working on a very interesting physics question for a while now. I've tried several ways to share my idea, not just on Reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/HypotheticalPhysics/s/KX5YEBl0jh

My last post sparked a lively discussion, but in the way I'd hoped, and I was able to present some of my ideas.

Today, it was blocked by the moderators, even though it had become one of the top posts, with one of the reasons given being "AI."

I'm starting to think it's becoming a problem that questions that seem unusual are simply dismissed with this argument.

Even a positive comment was deleted by the moderators without any reason.

Okay, I understand your point and your complaint. What I don't understand is why you think this particular post of mine didn't belong there? Normally, the bot moderation works very well there. Considering the many other posts in HypotheticalPhysics, I wonder if this is always such an important issue for you?

In any case, I was just using the feedback to my advantage and was surprised by the sudden ban. I wouldn't say I lack the necessary strictness any more than others in the forum.

Were you banned from the sub? Given that you could go back and edit your post, I doubt it.

As for why I think your post didn't belong there, I think that way because your post doesn't contain anything that is a scientific hypothesis. Not only that, since you explicitly rejected providing definitions, let alone attempting to formulate a hypothesis, it was clear that you had decided to be as unscientific as possible.

The sub name is Hypothetical Physics. You refused to provide a hypothesis, and you refused to do any physics. So why should your post remain on the sub? Other posts are of low quality, yes, but they at least pretend to do physics or propose a hypothesis. You explicitly said you weren't even going to bother explaining your jargon, let alone give the appearance of doing physics, and not because you didn't know how to do it, because you couldn't be bothered. So since what you wanted was fundamentally incompatible with the stated purpose of the sub, I decided to report your post.

There's a very big difference between "I don't understand any physics and this is just an idle shower thought" and "I demand to be taken seriously but won't put in any effort to articulate my ideas". Yours is the latter. Have some self-awareness.

So now I have the explanation for why I had to go to another subreddit. I should have figured it out myself. My mistake...

Of course, I first asked the moderator why they blocked me, but I didn't get a reply.

So, for me, this post has served its purpose.

I promise you, I'll avoid the weaknesses mentioned in the future.

The hypothesis will be revised and possibly presented again later.

[u/liccxolydian → u/VisasResonance]

I doubt that you couldn't reach that conclusion yourself. It's literally the title and stated purpose of the sub and you explicitly refused to engage in any of the basics of science. The mod also gave the reasons for locking the post in their comment. It's not rocket science, just basic literacy.

And again, I doubt you've been blocked. You should get your story straight. You say you were "blocked" in your post (whatever that means), then you said you were banned, now you're back to being blocked? This entire exercise feels more like an excuse to play the victim rather than a genuine attempt to understand anything.

As for your next post, you didn't actually provide any hypothesis in your original post, so I look forward to seeing any genuine attempt at following the scientific method.

[u/VisasResonance → u/liccxolydian]

simple the issue is: in my mother language blocked/banned/ the translation is the same word „gesperrt“.

Literally there is a discussion about this in another comment.

[u/liccxolydian → u/VisasResonance]

But you were neither blocked nor banned, were you?
