From what I’ve seen, when there’s a removal somewhere in the comments, it usually leads to a lot of people butting in and wanting to know “what did they say that would cause that?” Which then leads to other people “helpfully” chiming in and regurgitating the offending content (often lost in translation) which just leads to more people piling on.
If I really truly feel like someone wouldn’t understand why a specific comment would be removed, I can send a ModMail, but it’s very infrequent that I (or any other mod, or any other reasonable user) would look at a removed comment without saying “Yep, I can see why that would be removed.”
For posts, I try and make sure to always leave a reason.

I don't typically remove like that. I always send the removal via mod mail with the pre filled reasons that we set up. Plus it's just nails. It ain't nothing serious. We don't get a lot of that extra nonsense other subs get, and we're still pretty small. I think it's a little over 7k since October when it was created.
I didn't create the sub. The person who created it left like 2 months after creating and for all her faults, I have to say I agree with some of reasoning and maintain some of what she did. For example, in another much larger nail sub, you could be having a conversation with someone, and the mod removes your comment without a removal reason, and you think the person just stopped responding, when in reality a mod removed your comment, so basically it gives them an opportunity to continue the conversation without the off topic stuff. But like I said, if it's something where I think that user is going to give me shit, I just remove and move on.
