What happens if my comment is removed?
If you post something to AAS Forums that gets moderated (removed), you will receive a notification via email informing you of our decision. You will be informed as to which of the moderation rules you are in breach of and be given the opportunity to revise and resubmit your contribution.
What if I disagree with a moderation decision?
If you disagree with a moderation decision you can contact the moderators by contacting moderation@aasforums.asn.au.

In some instances, you may be referred to the AAS Executive Committee for a final decision.
Can AAS remove my comment just because they don’t like it?
