Snoopy: A post should not be removed without the main mod knowing the details:

The Main moderator (the one listed first) is in charge of the board, with the other moderators around to help watch while the main moderator is off-line.

Also, the poster deserves an explanation:

If a post does not fall into the site guidelines, the moderator should:

1. Edit post for content if rest of the post belongs in the board.
2. Remove the post if none of the post belongs in the board.
3. Warn user IN PRIVATE about edited/removed post, and point them to guidelines if needed.


It happens rarely which is likey why it happened to you. At least in my experience, deleting or editing posts is rare these days. A procedural error in this case but easy to fix by reminding all mods to review the procedures. I'm sure I've made the same mistake in the past.

I do like your idea but it will likely depend on the coding requirements and priorities. ;)
