Right now when a post is deleted, we're just being informed about which of our posts have been deleted, there's absolutely no reason provided.
Ofcourse there is an unofficial official list of rules available (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unofficial-list-of-official-bitcointalkorg-rules-guidelines-faq-703657), but I have some good personal examples where the deletion had no clear reason and even after contacting the moderator team, the ones who didn't delete my posts couldn't understand why they were deleted.
For that reason, I believe a mandatory list-field should be available to the moderators when they delete a post in order to select the reason of the deletion (for example "Off-topic", "trolling" etc).
Once I had 5 of my posts in a thread of a DAPP game I'm managing deleted, posts which were many days apart from each other and relevant.
That's one of the deleted posts for example,

Yesterday I had a simple post in which I congratulated the GRIN team for their recent donation and shared a wish with them deleted (and I was the 3rd person who posted about it, it's not like I was parroting).
When I see a post of mine is deleted, I'm wondering what I've done wrong, I would just like the forums to provide the feedback regarding what I've done wrong so that I can fix it.
I understand that the moderators can't waste time explaining all their actions to every troll and spammer, but just having one extra button wouldn't hurt them I believe.
Is it just me who thinks this would be a good addition? Do you think it's too much trouble for too few users who would actually care to improve themselves?
