It would be nice if moderators would either:
1) notify the poster in a private message of why their post was deleted
2) remove what needs to be removed, but post a notice in its place that post was removed due to "xyz".
Pretty sure most who have posts deleted have a darned good idea as to why they were blown away. Mod's are busy enough. They don't need to be coddling.
If you really want to know why, write them a PM. They answer to PM's. And that saves you from public embarrassment, of a public forum post that tells you that the offending writer was being a jerk.
No, they aren't too busy. If they have enough time to input their own opinions, the. They have time to post a reason for removing a posting or closing a thread. Just as one moderator stated earlier that another moderator would close this thread. Why didn't that moderator do it already? A mod can tell someone like westernrvparkowner in a pm how many postings of his was removed, yet they can't take the time to tell him why. And seriously, there should be a limit and someone is put on a time out. After a few of those, stop them from posting.
Also, there are some posts that are deleted that when you try to follow a thread, that comments are made and some have no idea what was said. Threads look half baked. Happened the other day in another thread. Have no idea why it was deleted (wasn't mine btw) I didn't see anything wrong with what is said. Can't stop a poster from editing and removing what they say, but if a mod makes a change to a post, there should be a reason noted.
