It’s cool, it’s late for me and now I have no idea which comment we’re talking about. Not one of yours, that’s clear, you had one removed 4 months ago for calling someone a “giant asshole” and… yeah, that’s removal worthy.
That’s actually my contribution to the rule set, and I’m kind of proud of it. :) We aren’t shy about strong language, you can totally say the subject of an article is a giant asshole, just don’t target it at other users.
That was a problem when Kissinger died… yeah, yeah, no celebrating death, OTOH - Kissinger. We would have had to have banned 1/2 the community. LOL.
I like your strong language rule. But rule 6 is such a vague catch-all that it basically says “the mods will remove anything they don’t like, at any time, with no warning”
The “low effort posting” thing? You’re probably right on that. Most of the examples of low effort posting I can think of would be covered under one of the other rules.
One I had to remove yesterday after it got like 14 reports was just a screenshot of a shitty news source, so, yeah, not an article, questionable source, also a low effort post but that was the LEAST of the reasons it was removed.
But it’s not a matter of “mods can remove anything”, that’s what got one of our other mods in trouble. Someone had a comment removed, messaged me going “hey, why was my comment removed?” and my investigation found what seemed like abuse.
I brought in the site Admins going “Hey, this seems above my $0 paygrade.” and they took care of it.

To be fair, that guy was a giant asshole.

Which seems kinda fucked.
