Sorry but that's not true, you can be banned without warning or discussion. Once you are banned there is no facility to contact a moderator, you simply cannot post, even a DM, you can email but I've been waiting since August for a decision from Iggy, there is no effective system to challenge an unfair ban. Discussing moderation is against guidelines also so no doubt this account will also be banned. What a ridiculous setup.
Decisions to delete posts are not taken lightly unless they directly and clearly go against eFestivals community guidelines. There is a team of moderators working here to make these forums a better and friendlier place for all and posts/deletion of posts will be discussed if it is felt the need to do so before action is taken.
If you or any other user isn't happy with a decision that has been made then you are free to contact any of the moderation team and they will happily explain the reasons for doing so.
