Lol, half of those comments (in the imgur album) weren't even people being assholes, and some were literally people calling the mods out on their bullshit. How pathetic.

I'd say about 30% shouldn't have been deleted, and only really the first few were calling out the mods (but some of those were just calling out the mods… ??).
As a moderator of an online community, I sympathise with them. But I also think that those are not the decisions you want to showcase first. I'd only post them for transparency (and if I were actually thinking them to be not good decisions, I'd also undelete them).

I think it was more than 30% that were not worthy of deletion. Honestly, the whole category of "promoting pedophilia" was pretty stupid. Some of them were clearly jokes, and some of them were just questioning the dogmatic opposition to fictional "underage" pornography. Also, questioning ideologies is not bigotry. Islam really does suck as an ideology, as does Christianity, but currently Islam is causing more problems.
Personally, I think science is on the side of transgender people actually being... y'know... transgender, but even a lot of that stuff was either just jokes or maybe a bit was honest questioning. Some of it was just needlessly mean, though.

More than 30%, less than "most"… does "half" sound about right?
Also, if you're a mod: why delete stuff criticising you? That's just short-sighted. Either leave it up, and acknowledge that maybe that pattern means something, or leave it up and watch it be downvoted to oblivion.

Exactly. I think half does sound right, and it's pretty stupid to remove something just because it criticizes you. It certainly looks bad, at the very least.
