I had 6 posts removed by
'The Community' on TA on 22nd, so I wrote to them and they were reinstated.
You need to look at what the removal notice says. If it is
TripAdvisor staff has removed this post because it did not meet TripAdvisor's forum guidelines with regards to .......
That means someone has reported your post direct to Tripadvisor Mods and they have decided it is inappropriate so you are wasting your time trying to get it put back.
Others say
This post was
determined to be inappropriate by the TripAdvisor community and has been removed.
This means that a number of posters have got together and pressed inappropriate because it either is or in most cases a gang who don´t like someone contact each other, say click on post number and choose this reason. The posts are then automatically removed without TA Mods knowing anything about it unless the poster asks for them to be reinstated - as I did and mine were.
TA don´t say how many people it takes to automatically remove a post it has been suggested that the stronger the reason i.e. harassment will need less people to press than say Duplicate posting.
Forums don´t have specific moderators, these are all in the USA and work directly for TA and are nothing to do with the people who post on the forums even though some act as though they own the forums.
I did see Onelegs post and suggested he should have posted SAME MISTAKES and when a certain person comes on saying what has happened he should reply with NOBODY KNOWS or TELL ME A LIE as I don´t think they have yet recorded the LADY DOES PROTEST. TOO MUCH !!!
Of course the main protagonist may not appear on the lists that TA can see of how has pressed however it does not mean she is not the puppet master with a number of acolytes or have a number of accounts.
PS: Bet she is fuming when she reads this as I know she has in the past
