Yeah, I thought the message came in a PM too automatically for a while.
When it comes to deleting posts like Saix stated, after the first deletion you can be sent a PM explaining why it was deleted, where the person who's post got deleted can be warned and know ahead of time that if it happens again soon, the post will just be deleted; no warning. I've deleted many posts in one topic due to spam, etc, many times because one person starts the Chat-like convo, and it strays away from the topic at hand.
HOWEVER, a person should not flip out or get all hyped up over a few deleted posts. Every site I've ever been a part of has made it clear that you post at your own risk. What you post is up to moderator discretion. If they find it a reliable candidate for deletion, then so be it. It's just one post in your post count, no biggie. In many instances the Mod can just state in the post following the deleted post that a post was deleted for spam/off-topicness/etc. After that, the topic should be dropped unless you want to take it to PM's to discuss. Further discussion in that topic about a deletion will just take the topic further off-track.
If the Infraction is self-explanatory, then so be it. Best Judgment should be able to determine this. Same with deletion notices, but if it's a constant habit, no warning will be given if it's for the umpteenth time.

It's true. I said to Aztec when he started PMing me with a verbal warning that I felt much less inclined to actually argue with him, because he'd communicated his decision with me. Even if I disagreed with what he'd said, he'd still told me what he thought I was doing wrong and I actually stopped it xD That WAS the entire point I was making, though. At least it worked.
