Not to be a party pooper guys and gals, but isn't this getting a bit off topic?

Personally, I've had one post removed and I was informed by a moderator via PM that it was deleted. I PM'd back to ask why and got a very polite reply with an explanation. I too, didn't want to make the same mistake twice. I feel if you're going to delete a post, a PM should be sent (even automatically) with a note that says your post was deleted. The PM would be from the mod who deleted it. This way, one could reply in private to get an explanation.
