I think that if posts are deleted from a thread, a quick PM should be sent to the person(s) whose post was deleted. Or, if there are multiple posts deleted a quick “hey, can we not do such-and-such?” would be nice, too. Without giving reason for deletions, it makes things look sort of fishy, [name_f]IMO[/name_f]… kind of like the admins/mods are up to something, I guess.
I guess in a way. Than again every board has rules and regulations so 90% of the time I’m sure the poster knows exactly what they’re saying and that it’s probably going to violate some terms so why give them a heads up that their post is being deleted when it probably shouldn’t have been posted in the first place? I don’t think it’s them being up to something just them trying to keep things in order.
I know nothing about this.

On many other boards, even when something does violate rules, a message is still sent telling the poster what’s going on. I’m not saying there IS a problem in this situation but I think there is potential for things to go awry.
Also, before someone says “this is [name_f]Pam[/name_f] and [name_f]Linda[/name_f]'s board, they can do what they want”, yes, I realize that but they’re also open to suggestions so that’s why this got posted. 
What was wrong with that post? I’m wondering because I didn’t even see it.
Also, we can’t send a message to ever single person who ends up with something deleted because most of them are trolls who then end up banned or they’re posts were against the rules and it’s then stated in thread that their posts were against the rules.
Basically, people said it was fishy and thought she might be a troll.
[name_m]Even[/name_m] if PMs can’t be sent, when multiple posts are deleted from one thread, it’d be nice to leave a few words explaining, even something quick and easy like I mentioned in the first post.
Oh course. It’s not unreasonable to ask for a quick “Hey, that was rude and I’m removing it.” I try to do that if it’s not just obvious trolling I’m deleting. 
I didn’t want to hijack the birth announcement thread to talk further about trolling, as that was why I deleted the posts in the first place But since that seems to be what’s happened anyway, I deleted the trolling-accusation posts as I felt they were inappropriate on a birth announcement thread.
On a thread where someone is asking for name advice and you feel their story doesn’t add up, you can politely say that you have questions about the poster’s identity – or refer your suspicions privately to [name_f]Linda[/name_f] or me or one of the mods.
On a straightforward birth announcement thread, it feels to me at best unsporting and at worst mean to pile on with troll accusations. In that case, ignore the birth announcement and refer suspicions to me or [name_f]Linda[/name_f] or the mods, please.
