State of the Subreddit: August 2019

I'd like more explanation as to the moderation. I've posted articles in the past which haven't broken any of the rules and which were removed with no explanation, I've also received no response when messaging the mods.

It feels as though someone just arbitrarily removes stuff. Like you can post the same thread over and over about just starting reading or a book vending machine but if you post a serious article about an older book you've got a 50/50 chance of it just disappearing with no explanation as to why.

case in point, I posted a Guardian article from a couple of years on Ishmael Reed's Mumbo Jumbo a few weeks back, it was up for an hour or so then disappeared with no explanation and the nobody from the moderation team responded when I message asking what the problem was.
