Does Forklift Driver Klaus break the community rules?
I had a post with half a dozen gifs from the Forklift Driver Klaus video make the front page yesterday. Today I woke up to find it had been deleted for breaking the rules.
Forklift Driver Klaus contains cheesy gore effects but is at heart a safety instruction video that's been shown to workers for a while now.
For those of you who know the video (I'm not linking to it here for obvious reasons), do you think the deletion was justified?

Was it marked "mature"? If not, some fuckin' snowflake who couldn't enjoy adult humor reported it.

I didn't mark it mature. I simply forgot because to me it's more humorous than anything. The effects are so bad. I had forgotten that once..

..before and a mod simply set it to mature for me. That was a nice mod. I guess that's not standard procedure.

Most likely, that's why it was deleted. As I tell people,

Nope, the whole idea of it is to be extreme/ over the top but tongue in cheek. When we laughed that’s where our trainer nailed us 1/2

Like “yes I know it’s funny but you guys shouldn’t be laughing, what you’re driving is a weapon” *cue silence*

As with all decisions like this, if you don’t think it was justified, appeal it.

I'm honestly not sure. And I don't like to bother mods for nothing. Thought I'd get a second to fiftieth opinion first.

Both the people reporting a post and the mod who pulls it as a result are individuals, so it's often just a matter of timing or bad luck /1

2/ if something gets pulled one day or goes on the the front page the next. I've had a few that were borderline, and when I asked for a /2

3/ review, many were reinstated and my warning removed. Cartoonish violence and gore, such as on this video, is one of those borderline /3

4/ cases probably, as we've all seen this video's bits on the Front Page before. I'd still ask for a review if you really think it unfair.
