Edit: Seems like the Mod-Logs are public, so it’s not ‚secretly‘. My preferred mobile app doesn’t show this and for me the post just disappeared from my history.
Anyway, the breach of rule I allegedly did is obviously an excuse to block inconvenient opinions as it’s not at all related.
I can see the value in replying so that the author is clear about what happened. I have seen quite a few posts where people don't seem aware of the mod log and I don't believe they are being dishonest, just not aware.
I believe deleted posts are not visible unless you are a mod/admin or the user who made the post.
Thanks for your reply!
