"This post was removed because..."

It can be frustrating for alot of users when their post is removed and they're unsure what was wrong with the post or what rules it broke. Thus, I think that there should be a message that appears whenever a post is removed, explaining why the post was taken off. That way, the creators of the post could revise their idea to fit the rules.

    You're right.  Sometimes, the Mojang staff will give me a friendly email explaining why my post was removed, but other times it will be just deleted.  Usually I can guess what went wrong, but sometimes a post with seemingly nothing wrong with it is removed.  I really wish they would explain why.

    It's a terrible site, I can't even criticize this site without the post getting deleted. Mods and site bots seem to delete posts arbitrarily, and those spammy non-constructive feedback continue to rule this site. There's little hope for any good feedback here as this site is ruled by very young people who could barely form sentences. No offense.

    I made a post about scorpions earlier describing possible behavior and drops for them, which took a good 30 minutes or so to come up with. It ended up getting deleted almost 5 minutes after being uploaded. Its very bothersome to have long and though out suggestions deleted for sharing just a few similarities with another post (in this case being that the mob being referred to with scorpions), while undescriptive posts with very little information to go off of remain on the website just fine. Its incredibly frustrating.

    Agreed. I have posted two very good ideas, and then I came back the next day and they were gone. They just said "Pending approval", then the next day, gone!

    I put so much time and effort into an idea that I thought was pretty good, but the only way I could find what remains of it was by going back in my history. It doesn't even have the same title as anything.

    YES please! My very first post was a very detailed and thought-out post about a passive mob idea I had. It sat in review limbo for a week or so then just disappeared! Meanwhile low-/no-effort posts like "plz add obsidian creepers that drop a stack of diamond blocks when they explode kthxbai XD" continue to flood this site.

    Good thing they can also remove/not approve comments without a notification on why on a post about them not approving/removing posts without a notification on why like they did with my 1400 characters comment that didn't break any rule

    Once my idea for Minecraft on Chromebooks was rejected for no apparent reason, yet an idea of legitimately adding POKEMON into Minecraft is in the site (I have nothing against pokemon, it’s just adding them into MC would be stupid)

    I've posted something very important to me only for it to be deleted with no reason given. It's getting very annoying.

    Some say they got emails regarding what the removeal's reason was, but I've never gotten it myself, and I was active when the site was first released. Can't they just use the request system they had? I remember there was a green feedback button on lthe bottom left, which also barely worked.
