Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Posters are expected to read the rules; hence no warning, just removal.
Still. All you had to do was repost; complying with the rule you broke, that was pointed out to you via the removal message. It's not like you were punished for it.
You chose to draw further attention to your rule breaking. Mods aren't babysitters; they're volunteers with limited time and lots of work to do.
Also; I've never seen an [active] automod on Lemmy, and given the pinned post about the other bot(s), they don't seem to be working as intended/very well. Not all that surprised it didn't notify you.
There was no messages.
My point is to draw attention to that and the fact they aren't even following their own rules for situations like this
Once again:
It's right there in the mod log. As lemmy doesn't notify users of mod actions; it's your job to go look at it when you notice your post/comment was removed.
I agree that part of the software should be improved, but that's where we're at now. Gotta work with what you have.
Then you should have made a [meta] post talking about it and requesting change; not added passive aggressive notes to an otherwise unrelated news article.
I don't think it's passive aggressive.
Modlog isn't a notification method. Their own rule says they will notify before removing.
Whining about this under a random news article isn't going to change things. This topic should have been a separate, constructive, post; now this whole comment section and the pile of downvotes is all about you, and the news that was shared has been completely overshadowed because of it.
Get over it and move on; or find a more constructive method of communication.
I won't reply further.
Their own rule says they will notify you.
It's not like you've brought anything constructive into this thread so good day
