Can you suggest some alternatives to Removed by Fluther moderators?
With the new guidelines there are a lot more threads that have quips removed by the mods for being off topic as well as for the usual trolling, flame bait, spam etc. Would it be helpful to if the Removed by Fluther moderators quip gave some clue as to why the quip was deleted?

Removed by Fluther moderators for being too witty
Andrew has mentioned that they are working on a way to reduce the space a removed quip makes and also (I am fairly certain) labeling off-topic quip removal as such.
I am not sure if there will be special labels for spam or trolling, but a good indicator of a spam removal would be the amount of lurve the user has. If it is under 50 chances are good that the remark was a sales pitch or a trolling attempt.
I believe they are planning on giving more info when something is removed.
Not only will removed responses take up less space on the page so that the discussion is less disrupted, but a reason will also be given for the removal. Stay tuned!
What about Taken up into word heaven.
Well as long as we are suggesting for fun:
“Removed because the user has obvioulsy not reached puberty.”
“Removed because user did not bother to read the details.”
“Removed because it would not enlarge your central appendage”
“Removed for being a total douche comment”
Removed because user is a moron.
Taken out back and beaten with a rubber hose
Not fit for human consumption.
Garbage chute, coming through.
Just wondering…and, I know this may sound stupid…but, how does spam work on these posts and, what exactly is a troll?
@MissA That is not a stupid question at all!
Here is a sample of what a spammer might post:
“Yes- this is a great question. Removed by moderators is a huge problem but I fixed it though using http://bowel-be-clenz.com. They really helped me come up with some good replacements for removed by moderators.”
A troll on the other hand might say:
“U r a luzer- eat me”
@Dog Thanks. I think y’all do a great job of keeping it out of fluther.
Remooved dyu to bed spellign,
Removed by Arisztid’s cat
Removed by a duck with a spatula.
sorry, this answer does not fit here! Good luck with your Fluthering!
Reply eaten by computer. Please reformat.
The Fluther Guidelines are very fun and educational!
I have a sudden urge to reread the Fluther Guidelines, even though I already have, right?
This user has been condemned to read the Fluther Guidelines 100 more times before making more posts.
sorry, your answer is out of the field of play!
Sticks and stones may break your bones, but names can be moderated.
Please refrain from describing orgasms without indicating them with NSFW tags.
I have just remembered that @augustlan has a shotgun and knows where I live. This response has been removed for the safety of the citizens of Earth.
I’ll write a different post once I sober up.
removed for further editing by you!
@richardhenry That’s a great idea. It would be nice to know if a troll is stalking or it’s just a coincidence that the same anonymous newbie is posting “removed” answers right after ones answers.
It would be nice to have a function that allows us to remove (rather than modify) our own responses after the time limit has expired. I’m sure it happens regularly that a user wants to take down something upon reconsideration (or sobering up).
Removed due to users incomprehensable sense of humor
Dude, where’s my quip?

Yo momma so fat, she sat on this quip and it disappeared.
@bob_ dems fightin’ words!
This post has been cockblocked.
Yes. I would like to know specifically why a quip was removed. The guidelines should be index-numbered by paragraph and sentence (like the Bible), and each removal should reference a specific index number. That will end much of the quibbling because:
1.) The mods can defend their removal by pointing to a specific reason,
2.) We can challenge a removal if a mod stretched the rules to justify a removal.
And I think even after being flagged, a quip should remain for 24 hours (or click a link to see the quip after clicking through a disclaimer that says, Warning: this quip may be NSFW or offensive) so that we can see what it said and judge for ourselves whether the removal was justified, or if the mod was being heavy-handed. As it stands right now, we have to take the mod’s word that it was a fair removal, and I know from experience that the mods are a tad overzealous in removing quips.
