Moderation etiquette

We know that moderation here is random as often as the spam filter is ineffective.

Even if it that was not to be the case, is it not a courtesy to notify posters whose posts have been swallowed up by moderation and are not to be seen after a defined number of hours thereafter?

      Traffic on the old forums was obviously a lot less than here, as the user base has expanded and this has become a primary support channel.
      I agree it is more now, but I don't think it is by orders of magnitude from what it was in its last successful year of service. The forum was a busy place then as well.
      I am also a member of another Indian automotive forum that has 150.000 members and 20,000 active online ones at any given point in time. In my nine years there, I have never seen any spam; not once. The site is actively moderated to maintain quality, so this must be an important offshoot of that effort. I am pretty sure that one runs on V Bulletin.
      It just takes the intent to get something done.

      I also have a strong sense that there was a higher level of ownership in the volunteer moderators.
