Why was my thread deleted?

[Toon]

This is getting rather annoying seeing these posts everywhere so I have a suggestion. Why not add a modification that enables an automatic email/PM to be sent when deleting a post or moving it to your "recycle bin" if that's what you do. One of the forums that I look after has this function and you can include a little note saying why it was removed and eliminates members posting these questions.

It's a good idea, but I don't think it'll help a great deal here. If we put 'spam' as the reason why, they'll still post wanting to know why it was classed as spam.

How about a sticky, Why your thread was deleted, with a what to do if you have a problem

Mods make seemingly odd decisions from time to time, but they're just doing a job as best they can - just live with it - it's only a forum, it's only a post. Life's too short.
