Moderators are still human and can make mistakes. We've all had posts removed in some questionable ways, and I'm not saying it's not an important issue; I'm just pointing out that there are more important things than discussing every handled report.

I'm not just talking about this particular case of yours; there's been a lot of "my post got deleted" "my report is marked as bad" threads created here recently, and altough it's normal to want to know what we did wrong; these threads only get more important threads buried.

Only in the first 2 pages of Meta, there's the following threads created to address this kind of very urgent need Roll Eyes

Why was my reply deleted?
Report flagged as bad by mistake?
Poll disappeared
Deleted topic for no reason
Post deleted by mistake or what?
Moderator deletion of serious discussion in the Wall Observer

A total of 6 threads in 5 days. Now, I'm not saying that none of these threads should have been created in first place, but comparing that number to some threads I that I coinsider way more important with close to 0 interaction in those same 2 pages:

theymos please update the news line for Bitcoin Core 0.20.1 version
search engine optimization for local boards

6 "not that important" threads compared to 2 "rather important-ish" threads, on a bigger scale, I think you can see where I'm going with this. There were a couple of merit source applications too in that second page of this board.

Is changing the line/link of the latest core release a priority? I doubt so; but it affects the whole forum. Some people run a node and don't regularly check the core releases, instead they see the change here.
Is doing some SEO work important? As a local board user, I sure as hell hope it is
Is knowing why your post was deleted important? It is important... but most certainly, only to you
Is this thread a bit more special because the WO has some custom rules? We could agree on that; but your point had already been made, and there was no real reason to bump the thread; which was what my post was really about.
