Two out of three currently aren't removed. There's no moderator comment on the third, but a fair number of upvotes and user comments; I think it was flagged by users.

How can you tell? Those are from a week and a half ago. The OP's definition of 'removed' is (if I understand correctly) 'dropped from the top-30 to below the top-90 in 1 minute'.

There's a difference between removed and removed from the front page.

IIRC: Mods can downrank a post so that it doesn't change anything for users, aside from the fact it won't be on the front page.
