I took a screen shot of this post which was hidden. Perhaps someone can explain what is wrong with the post.

You should have a purple moosaged (PM) telling you what needs fixing in your post.  Did you not get a PM?

Read the next line down - between the two horizontal lines.  It says: "Please remove the quote as those posts did not meet publishing standards for various reasons. What you have to say is fine. "  (emphasis mine).  

Basically, you quoted a post.  That post was later removed for not meeting publishing standards.  The text you quoted needs to go.  

(thanks for pointing out this is confusing.  We'll add it to the list of things to improve)

I think probation messages used to have the message from staff in bold letters, which I think was easier for people to spot. But, something changed with the programming, so there's no longer bold.

We'll see if we can get this fixed!
