View submission: Announcing Remove as a Subreddit
If a person is already using a bot account for moderation, why would it be necessary to specifically use this with the API. I really hope they don't (which they've answered no atm already[1]), in my opinion that would be a sneaky bad thing from a transparency perspective.

The API is for more than bots. Browser addons like Toolbox use it as well.
The problem with not implementing this feature in the API is that (at least according to the announcement) their intention is that removal reasons be announced publicly to let both the offender and the rest of the community know that and why something was removed....which is fine - however, if it's not made available via the API, then we're stuck with privately notifiying just the offender via modmail if we don't want to expose ourselves to things like harassment.
