Transparency notification — some comments on a post here were or are being actively removed by Reddit without a stated reason why in our visible mod logs.

These appear to be the only by-Reddit comment removals in our currently accessible mod logs with no cited reason for their removals. For context, see here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1dgk5fj/the_most_comprehensive_analysis_of_an_alien/l8r14ie

In light of this, I have asked on the subreddit where mods can engage Admins about this sort of question:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/1dgnyob/removed_by_reddit_comments_clearly_showing_reddit

There is no other available information presently. Thank you all for your participation in /r/UFOs and your efforts here.

This was my comment on that initially linked post, in full here:

FYI to all — Reddit is apparently removing any link to this PDF in any form, on any website. That includes archive.org.

As of now there are multiple [Removed by Reddit] comments here, including one by me when asking the “OP” here if that was in fact the document referenced; my own was on archive.org.

For transparency I note that Reddit is not citing anything in our mod logs. Here is the removal of my own as it appears in what we are allowed to see as moderators:

​ ​ ​

an hour ago reddit removed comment by PyroIsSpai on “The most comprehensive analysis of an alien implan…”

​ ​ ​

NOTE: These are the only comment removals by ‘reddit’ in our two months of internally visible mod logs with zero–no–commentary or citation of why the content was removed by Reddit. None whatsoever.

I post this with no commentary or opinion on the doctor who wrote this document in 2009 or the content.

​ ​ ​

I have no awareness or understanding of why this is happening. I have posted here to ask the Reddit admins, and in turn cross-linked back to my upper comment here to close the loop of transparency:
