- 8Other removals, removed for a reason the wording did not name.
This counts only what the room announces. A moderator removing something by hand leaves nothing to count, so a low number would prove nothing, which is why we only print this for rooms where it is high.
What to do instead
- Use the Feedback Weekend threads the room's own rules name, and keep to what that thread is for.
- Answer questions instead of announcing. When we counted, 1 questions here had no reply at all.
- Read the live rules page before you post. The rules can change after the copy we quote was taken.

How this page was made
The rules come from the arctic-shift public mirror's copy of the room's rules list, sidebar and posting guidelines. We do not use the Reddit API. The posting answer rests on the room's own words when they say anything about promotion, then on removals we counted, then on our inference, and the line under each answer says which. A rule that was rewritten after the mirror's copy was taken will not show here, which is why the capture date is printed above.
