Moderation...whatever happened to a friendly warning?

I get back to do some major revision work on my 'wibble' page (I have to store stuff online as I'm rarely on the same computer twice lately) only to find a whole bunch of 'copyrighted material removed by moderator' essentially leaving my article a series of placeholders.
Now, while I can see thier point (though I can't see including a dictionary definition as being a problem), it meant I had to go find everything again and all the work I'd put in in the first place was wasted.
Perhaps hiding the article and a short note to me would have been better?
Sheesh.

Welcome to the BBSiege, as we say in the Zaphodistas.
Perhaps you should join our fight for a bit more... slack from the BBC, and to get rid of some of the more annoying features of their takeover.
On the other hand, perhaps you don't want to!
Anyway, pop over to the Manifesto (A520769, like it sayds in my name), and see what you think.
B.B.C.
Be moderated.
Be irritated.
Be a Zaphodista.
