If a moderator should decide to "spamcan" a posting by deleting it. Is there any way that an automated message could be forwarded to the person whose posting has been "spamcanned"?
I've had my first most unfortunate "spamcan" experience late yesterday, when a posting I had made had been "spamcanned". The next morning when I posted I noticed my posting was gone, and not having had this experience ever in the 5700 postings that I have made this far, and in absence of a notification of any kind, I thought there must have been a technical reason for the posting that was no longer there. I then repeated the posting, only to discover afterwards by way of a posting by a Moderator in that thread that my posting had been deleted, and since I had repeated the posting (without knowing that a Moderator had deleted it) that I had broken a Frihost rule on top of everything else.
During the initial posting that was made in which I was accused of breaking a Frihost rule, I thought that maybe there had been something wrong with the posting I had responded to, to the equivalent of being advertising of a kind. Then when I asked about that, I was told that there had been nothing wrong with the original posting in the thread, but that my reply to the posting had been deemed unneeded!!!! The posting I made was genuine and sincere. And the content of the Moderator's posting in that thread most unfair. However, I believe that there is another rule that covers him and I probably have no choice but to accept his ruling. I most certainly will watch out for postings that get deleted in future, as to date I have never had any reason to suspect a Moderator being concerned about "unneeded" postings as "spam".
What would have been helpful, if this is at all possible however, would be an automatic message that would warn Frihosters if their postings have been deleted by a Moderator. If I had known that my posting had been removed by a Moderator I would never have done the second posting. Also, it would have been helpful to get an exact explanation of what I had done wrong. I still don't know what I have done wrong as in my view it had been a perfectly legitimate bona fide posting.
