/r/food is no stranger to controversial decisions and overall bullshit:

Yesterday there was a rather well received post on /r/all originating from /r/food
https://www.ceddit.com/r/food/comments/6egxmv/_
At first some posts began appearing as deleted, as shown above, all but one of the posts meet posting standards, a few of which raise good points and were well received such as one raising a question of food safety in sushi.
Then the post it self disappeared from view.
I messaged the user who posted it asking why it was removed to which he responded that he didn't even realise it was removed, nor was he given a explanation from the mods.
On my mobile view I was unable to message the mods so I hit 'Report' knowing that the reports show up under the post anyway. Simply writing
>Please add a post explaining why the post was removed
This is what I got in response:

Didn't even realise it was a rule. Or that the anonymous reporting system could be traced back, or that you could be banned for using the report button ONCE in the two years I've had the account for.
Edit: Well that's some wonderful formatting in the mobile website for a unrelated image...
