Most of the comments I've seen removed with this notice so far amount to thread shitting or flamebait.

I've been interpreting it as a way for the mods to say "let's not" and nip things in the bud.

Seems like it started shortly after that rampant troll was banned.

I would prefer if they would cite what rules the removed comment violates, for the sake of transparency.

Yes. Exactly this. Any removal or ban should at least include offending post/comment and rule. Minimum.

I’ve been banned from another sub without telling me which comment/post AND not telling me which rule. No reason given at all initially.

Eventually I was told commenting “this is a duplicate post” violates the Meta rule. Huh? Say what? WTAF? And instead of a warning I get an indefinite ban. Seems harsh and unfriendly.

Exactly! I do not know what was in the comments that have been removed, (if it was for dumping trolls, I'm all for it!) so I can't comment on that, but Jesus...if you want us to play by the rules, it might be a good idea to spell out exactly what the rules are. Making them up as we go along, and not posting the new rules so we all know about them, seems a bit ridiculous.
