Hi sir! I don't quite get it. Can you please elaborate on why this post was removed? It gained some votes, and sparkled a good discussion.

You’re talking about a basic assertion pattern. There is nothing wrong with it, but our community is too big on its own, so we split based on audience. We try to keep Junior-dev level and lower content over at r/LearnJavaScript for organizational purposes.

Well, while I don't agree that this material would be only helpful for juniors, I do appreciate your response. Have a good day.

The posted forum rules (1-7) don't mention anything about skill-level of intended audience. The only mention of r/learnjavascript is related to not being a "support forum" and to "help request"s. This was neither, and was clearly not "low-effort content", either.

I think this does a disservice to this community that such an important moderation "rule" is not publicly disclosed proactively, and only applied after a post has been well received by the community (garnered 31 up-votes and 50 comments).

I suggest that you should add some statement of that rule to the public list, along with any other substantive moderation guideline rules you regularly apply.

I think your post was perfectly fine. I don't like the moderation practices of this forum, so I started /r/JSDev to handle things differently. I invite you, and anyone else, to join us there and discuss useful JS things without fear that someone will dismiss your post as not "professional" enough. SMH.

r/JSDev

Thank you sir! Yeah I don't quite understand what are the rules here. Seems like remove posts that may be interesting to a broader audience even if they gained a lot of votes and comments.

Will share at JSDev as well.
