This is a really great question I wish we'd actually get an answer to. It's news so why not go there? I suppose it could fall under the rule against politics in /r/news, but at least tell someone that when you remove their post.

Anything removed should require an explanation and the specific rule that was violated.

They simply say, "it's politics".

They don't mention that just about everything is r/news is politics, and that they can just remove anything they want under this rule. It's not the real reason they are deleting the post.

I think there does come a point where having too many forums becomes tedious. For example, if I have a Cisco forum to discuss topics related to Cisco networking gear, their policies, whatever. Someone else comes along and creates a CiscoRouting forum to discuss Cisco routing topics. If someone posted a question about switching in the CiscoRouting forum them the mods would get all pissed off and delete their post. Why so many different forums? Why not just lump the good stuff into the larger one?

Yes, some topics do need some breaking down... but to nitpick so much like that only serves to drive away users.

Transparency and Reddit are not ideas that go together.

If I were the mod of a subreddit or subverse that would be a requirement for anyone banned or with their post deleted.
