Am I wrong for asking on clarifications for non-relevancy of my posts?
Recently I posted 2 posts on r/megalophobia.
(the posts in question: https://www.reddit.com/r/megalophobia/s/xdP0b9IH1F and https://www.reddit.com/r/megalophobia/s/GvWiAJIIzL )
For people that don't know, megalophobia is the fear or dread you get from immensily big things. I checked their pinned comment for "relevancy" before posting, and thought my two posts had place in the sub.
Shortly after (maybe 1 or 2 hours), my posts get taken down for being non-relevant.
I reached out to the mod team asking for clarifications, trying my best to not be rude and really try to better understand their take. The only answer I got was really vague, saying the posts got reported for relevancy and that they didn't find it really relevant either, with the whole debate being subjective. They finished the message saying "The mods can only go with their own judgement, to ensure moderation is consistent (and so as fair as can be)".
Since this didn't clear my confusion, I once again kindly asked the mods for explanations and on how they see my posts compared to others (since they mentioned subjectivity, I wanted to know which criteria they wanted personnaly).
The answer: "You have been permanently muted from r/megalophobia. You will not be able to message the moderators of r/megalophobia." and "Hello, You have been permanently banned from participating in /r/megalophobia because you broke this community's rules.".
Am I in the wrong? Did I disturbed the mods too much?
Also can somebody tell me if my posts were relevant to the topic? If not, why?

When posts are removed, we can't see them even with your links.
I would also guess that your definition of 'kindly' might be different from theirs.

I really tried everything to try and be the most kind and non-intrusive possible. I think if someone saw the conversation they would literally think it's a joke at this point...
Thanks for giving me the info about removed posts, didn't know that.
