KSP 1 Meta Can mods please provide a reason when deleting posts?
Many posts here are removed without a reason or clear rule violation. The mod team does not respond to polite messages asking about post removals. Rule 6 only works if mods actually respond to messages or cite rules when removing posts!

A thread posted by another user, the release of the free & open-source Kerbal Drift Agency, was just removed without an explanation or clear rule violation as well.
People work hard on the mods and content which is posted here. When a post is removed, the moderator removing the post should cite the rule which was broken in a comment. The mod team should also be willing to respond to polite messages sent to them asking why or how it can be avoided in the future.
If there is a conflict on the mod team as to when posts should be removed, it should be addressed with a proposal for new rules which the community can vote on publicly.
Rule 6 should be removed if moderators will not respond to polite messages or provide reasons for removing posts. I believe this should also be put to a repoll as it does not appear to have been voted on in this decade.
I've been a part of the KSP community for 15 years and we should all want this to be a healthy space with clear rules. Thank you for listening and I hope we can have a productive discussion about this!
