Is it possible, that when you decide a post has infringed the Rules and you remove it, that in your email advising of the removal you can state which rule you deem infringed rather than providing a link to the whole Rules?

Many thanks.

I've just had a posting removed, with no idea what rule it broke. It was identical in format to 100's of other I've posted. These days, PH 'moderators' never reply to queries about postings being removed.

PH apparently use off-site moderators who have no idea what site they're moderating, let alone the T&Cs. Not quite sure why they don't ask the legacy paid-per-post members to moderate the site instead, but you'll have better luck pissing in the wind.
Human beings or bots though?

Have to agree with the OP, particularly when you also get a threatening sentence in the mail warning of a ban when you have no idea what rule was infringed, or think no rule was broken.

Only once had an answer and that was from Big Al saying it was during a general clean up of a thread and nothing done wrong and not to worry. That's how it should be done.

I'm not a big user of forums and maybe there are worse ones out there but PH seems to treat its members uniquely appallingly.

Is there an element of automation about it? I've often seen mods saying "we can't look at every thread" yet the speed with which threads posted in the wrong sub-forum get moved is often so fast (and sometimes so wrong!) it must either be automatic or some mods take the job very seriously.
