(If there were a dozen links with titles like “increase the size of your pr*fr*ntal c*rtex now” and “find high-g bayesians in your area who want to argue”, do you agree that Elo could just delete those without clicking through? If so, we disagree about this particular situation, but maybe not so much about principles of moderation.)
No, if you are a moderator then do you job and actively review what you moderate so that you can provide effective feedback to those who are affected by your actions in order to best help the community grow. Overzealous moderation has negative effects which it is just as much the moderator’s job to avoid.
If the reason you deleted something was the title, not the content, then I would kindly suggest that you refrain from moderation.
Registering disagreement.
