No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Nope. It's a risk you take if you refuse to abide by a communities guidelines as outlined in the sidebar.
Breaking the guidelines of a community you're posting in is the immoral act, not the removal of those comments.
You change the initial situation. The question here wasn't about a post outside of guidelines - just about one mod not liking one post.
The "initial situation" is that OP has had 2 posts removed from here for breaking the rules and is butthurt over it.
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=5761834
One for rule 1:
Removed Post "Exception implies deficiency. Am I the only one who sees this?"
"Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question."
Yeah "am I the only..." is not a legitimate question. I can see why that got removed.
One for rule 5:
Removed Post "Focus your attention, part of the world becomes sharper and brighter, another part fades away and disappears. With habit even the focusing becomes invisible. How much has disappeared?"
"Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda."
I don't even know what's going on with that question. Seems to be borderline trolling/im14andthisisdeep material.
This fucking account. I don't block users but in this case I'm tempted. Looking at their profile I see I've consistently downvoted their posts.
The deficiency one I would've removed for "white supremacist talking points", were I a mod of the community.
Previous posts fetishizing neurodivergence were also offensive and the user just won't listen when people tell them that.
Even on Reddit, the people saying "Mods suck, I got banned and all I was doing was ..." tended to have the worst comment histories.
Sometimes I'm reminded that a lot of people are on Lemmy because they kept getting banned from Reddit.
That's exactly what we don't want to discuss here.
Read the original question once more. If you need to, read it repeatedly.
But what if the mod didn't like the post because it's outside of guidelines?
Then yes it is bad. From my time on Reddit, there were a lot of posts where I disagreed with the advice given but approved it because it was relevant to the community and met the guidelines. Doing so was sometimes more productive anyways, since then people got a chance to discuss why it was bad advice and what might be better
Moderators should try and remove based on the guidelines, and then trust their gut when it's a grey area.
Also unless we can see what OP is complaining about, we can't really tell what happened.
Without a process for appeal and review we all know how that goes. We are not infants.
Just to be transparent, I'm the mod who removed your posts.
We get a lot of rule breaking posts between the multiple communities I moderate, some of them get upvoted heavily and still get removed.
For example, someone posted a scientific post that had nothing to do with technology in /c/Technology@lemmy.world, it had a decent amount of upvotes and comments. It was still removed for rule 2 of that community, as it was off topic for that community and there are ones that exists for that content.
Sorry that it upset you, but if I could give you advise: just follow the community rules and you won't have these issues
But you avoided my point.
Hundreds say yes. You say no. But your opinion wins. Is that immoral?
I didn't avoid your point, I actually answered it: rules are rules and exist for a reason, if you break a communities rules they will remove your post or comment.
To put it more simply for you, no, it is not immoral - especially when you look at the context of your question.
Usually the appeal is as simple as messaging the mod of a community. If it was an error, they will usually fix it pretty easily. The review is the mod log which is a public record of all moderation activity.
