Just a suggestion, but I believe it would be helpful that instead of deleting the post, edit out the content and replace it (in green) with "Deleted by moderator". And give the reason so the poster knows what didn't follow the guidelines. My preference, that I see on other forums, is for moderators to quote the offensive post and then say in green why the post(s) are unacceptable, that way all members know what not to do.
