Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
supermods and such will be able to see it. It doesn't really matter though, you don't have to get it "approved" or anything.
I think it's just a holdover from the forum where you should just tell mods why you deleted your post (or mods should tell other mods) just as a matter of courtesy and convenience
