When we remove a post, it sends a message to the user and tells them to contact us? I think it should go to a moderator. Well, I guess I can understand, the mods are busy enough. But it gets annoying when people get pissy with me for removing a post, especially when it takes 2 SL votes to get rid of it, so OBVIOUSLY someone else thought it needed to be removed.

I don't think it should go to a moderator, but I don't think it should show our username, either. When a moderator deletes a post or something, it doesn't say who deleted it -- it just says "Moderator" in the send field. I think it should just say "Support Leader", or something.

I'm pretty sure it says our names too.
It does. For posts and warnings, but not for topics and DoSS, I believe. If you aren't prepared to talk to members and explain deleting posts, you shouldn't be voting to delete them. Members deserve an explanation. If they're threatening/abusive, report the message. If you can't remember the post, ask the member to link you to the topic to refresh your memory. And if you discuss it and decide maybe the post should have stayed, PM a mod and explain it. Everyone makes mistakes. Basically, we have power and with that comes the responsibility of explaining our actions to members. Don't hide posts if you don't want to be bothered with explaining.

To add to Audrey's post: it may be worth reminding them that if they feel their post was wrongly removed, they should file a MER (even if it was hidden by SLs).

Blank black- What if I feel they didn't remove it correctly? I can talk it out with them, right?

I'm always reluctant to engage in a dialogue, and I'll tell them that if they don't believe it should have been deleted, go and message a moderator. For a start, we can't change it. And secondly, if I believe it should have been moved, and the poster doesn't then we're at a bit of a stalemate.

It just gets locked away like the mad woman in the attic.
Occasionally you hear her scream,
But you don't dare unlock the door and look in.
