Pat,Mushroom was banned and a notice was then made that the thread started by him/her would be deleted after 24 hours. The thread was then deleted the next day. Sorry for any inconvenience, confusion or frustration this may have caused.
We are not aware of anything else that was deleted. If the situation is still not resolved please write us an email, which is always a better way of asking these kind of questions.
Actually we've been thinking about the idea of having a parallel forum to announce moderating decisions, but the thought of the minimal extra work has so far been sufficient to deter us from doing this.
