1. Moderation is like weeding a garden

Sometimes it is difficult to tell a weed apart from a genuine plant. If a topic can be interpreted as having a hidden meaning then that topic gets erased.
A worthy topic will appear again, to grow. Weeds will be knocked down and come back.
I like gardening, but not weeding. And as they say, I'd rather be fishing.

This process is not transparent. I can't tell who deleted my post, or what the reason for the deletion is. This is not acceptable.
I am OK with editing or resubmitting my post to remove any provocative features. I am not a mind reader and will not always know what these are, so better communication on this point!

Forked from "General copyright web search Problem"
Reason: Off-topic to original post; But relevant as a separate discussion. _tom
I thought I posted this before but I can't see it now.
It was removed - it was deemed potentially provocative.
Why is there no notification when a post is removed? There is a notification for edits.
I am doing some research on the general copyrights of a specific item of confectionary. I need to write a web scrapper in Phix that will trawl the web for articles referring to other four or five finger chocolate bars.
I am interested in suggestions on how to approach this.
The specific item in question is the Kit-Kat bar.
And I'm sorry, this post has been moderated

Quote yourself when you edit a moderated post with comments. Otherwise reading it is very confusing.

From your original subject title I had only one interpretation--and it was not good.
My apology to CoJaBo3.
Some of the items I have already erased elsewhere were clearly written by someone smarter than me and a mind reader at the same time.
I will:
- add a warning
- wait for a defense
- erase as needed
