If we don't use removal reasons and don't even have an removal reasons, please don't bother with the prompt.

The goal should always be efficiency. Why do they love adding as many clicks as possible to every mod action?

Edit : We use a different (better in our opinion) method of informing the user why their post was removed.

In my understanding it’s a gentle push into always giving users removal messages, which is something I approve to.

But there are plenty of situations where I don’t find appropriate to leave a removal message, especially inside heated discussions where I probably already left a removal message but there are 10 other comments from that user that need actioning.

The current setup is annoying and it slows everything down, even if the feature itself is useful.

Well, for one, mods should be questioning why they should be able to remove things without explaining to the users why.

Now there's an extra prompt whenever removing posts for us to add removal reasons saying our subreddit "needs" them. Its as if we didn't make the conscious and informed decision to not use them. Daddy reddit is coming in our room and telling us that we're playing with our legos wrong and need to follow the box instructions.
