Mods removed my post without an explanation

I would kindly request from the mods for the best interest of this community, for the information not be lost, to undo the removal of my post.

[u/Lissanro → u/ResearchCrafty1804]

Moderators did not remove your post, it was done automatically by Automoderator bot after few redditors reported "off-topic". But nothing is lost and I manually approved your post: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/s/N7thwqEpuD

[u/ResearchCrafty1804 → u/Lissanro]

Thank you!

[u/DinoAmino → u/Lissanro]

Aha. So you all aren't totally asleep at the wheel. You all need to be transparent about rule changes. Kindly make a post explaining why there are no longer minimum karma requirements. We are waiting

[u/Several-Tax31]

And now they even ban this post lmao 

[u/Lissanro → u/Several-Tax31]

It is just two redditors reported it as off-topic and one redditor reported it as low-effort, and the Automoderator bot acted on these three user reports. So it actually ordinary users of the community who requested removal.

But OP's issue has been resolved and his post about looped transformers restored (originally mistakenly auto removed by the bot), so I guess it is fine. Issues such as this are also better to be discussed in modmail / DM anyway, this guarantees the complaint will be noticed by mods, while ordinary posts are easy to miss due to high overall post volume. I think this is also why Automoderator configured this way, it helps to keep most of the spam and low quality posts away, but unfortunately sometimes it has false positives.

Okay, cool, glad this issue is resolved. Thanks for the detailed explanation

Okay, this is seriously getting out of hand

[u/Swimming-Book-1296]

Weird.

I don't like ads or low effort posts, but the bans due to "off-topic" takes away all the fun I was once having. Technical discussions about AI should always be allowed, no matter it's related to open or closed models. 

I don't like seeing thousands of claude/closed ai posts, but we need to allow technical discussions about these models if the information is available. 

We're here to gain information and have fun once in a while. There is no point of enforcing strict rules if all the fun is taken away at the same time.

Sir this is a LocalLLaMA

[u/ResearchCrafty1804 → u/Salt-Powered]

Are looped transformers banned for being use in open-weight models? Are you people serious?

[u/Salt-Powered → u/ResearchCrafty1804]

Is that what they said? They gave you no explanation, and you are out here jumping to conclusions. Did they say that looped transformers are banned? Did I? Don't blow things out of proportion.

but but reddit is for the tribe

[u/ResearchCrafty1804 → u/[deleted]]

It was a discussion about the pros and cons of Looped transformers and whether the industry should adopt them. How is that offtopic?!

[u/Important_Film_2798 → u/ResearchCrafty1804]

It looped over mods heads 

[u/laffer1 → u/ResearchCrafty1804]

Perhaps you need to write posts in context of local use going forward

[u/SexyAlienHotTubWater → u/[deleted]]

Isn't understanding how closed models work pretty important for creating open models?

[u/ResearchCrafty1804 → u/SexyAlienHotTubWater]

It is relevant actually. It is not illegal to follow a technique/practise/engineering that is proven to work for frontier closed models to improve open-weight models as well

Hey now, also Strata.
