I just ask that if posts are going to be deleted that the person that made them be told about it happening and why. If moderation is going to get a bit more heavy handed, it would be beneficial to know where these lines are going to be.

I'm also saying this because in my current sleep deprived state, I was very confused for a bit this morning over my missing post.

Deleted posts are a lot more common than suspensions or bannings and are generally done so that we don't have to suspend or ban someone. I really don't see that as being heavy handed from that perspective. We usually will send a PM to someone when we delete an offending post (although sometimes we don't because the perpetrators have done it so often that they know why it was deleted anyway).

What happens a lot (and I can almost guarantee this is what happened in your post in question) is that the poster quotes a post that is destined to be deleted. In that case, the quoting post gets deleted as well. If your post has been deleted and you have no idea why, see if the post you quoted got deleted as well.

Because this happens a lot (i.e. 1 asshat post gets 5 to 10 quotes, each generally saying it is an asshat post), we just don't have time to go through and PM everyone who quoted and got deleted also. Sorry.

In summation: just because your post was deleted doesn't mean the post violated the CoC. It could be that you quoted someone else who violated the CoC (or who generally got on my f***ing nerves because they are consistently derailing conversations to make negative personal comments about other posters).

Clear as mud?
