Can some of these moderation messages be updated?

Because some moderation decisions are made for something that's at no fault of the person being messaged whatsoever, but the messages themselves make it seem as if the recipient is at fault. Ex. being messages about content being deleted because they're in response to other deleted comments. [sg-poppy]

In most of those we're pretty clear that the removal is not a warning and no punishment is being given. Did you get something without those wordings?

Oh no, I got those words, but then there's also the "But you should read the guidelines so you don't do it again" or something to that effect. I'm pretty sure I'm exaggerating a bit, but that's the impression I got from reading the message lol

We often include those messages because much of the time when we remove content after a deletion it's because people are responding to problematic content to discuss it or engage with it, which we strongly recommend against.

Ahh, that makes sense then. Is standard practice that if you report something, just don't respond to it as well?

In general, I would avoid responding to things that you report unless there are elements in them that you feel contribute to the discussion at hand, yes.

Ahh, gotcha. I suppose that it's a lot like in-game guidelines, too. :D Thanks!
