question for moderators: right to appeal

Is it now the polocy of this forums moderation to remove posts (for what ever reasion) with out informing the poster of the removal and offering them the chance to appeal?

This is not a hypothetical question. Several of my posts in the thread ( https://community.autism.org.uk/f/health-and-wellbeing/42568/the-bill-has-passed-now-onto-the-hol) appear to have dissapeared. No note apeared forum notification system. None of the usual options or links to appeal removal. As you know the forums rules give users the right to appeal. Spicificly:

"You have the right to appeal a decision by our moderation team to edit or delete your content or to place your account under pre-moderation. We recognise that other users or our moderation team can sometimes misinterpret written content.  

If your post is removed and you believe this was an error or an unfair decision, you will be notified via your account’s Live Alert system when our moderation team has flagged your post. To access your Live Alerts, select the lightning bolt at the top right-hand corner. If you click on the notification you receive, it will direct you to a page where you can submit your appeal."
Yet in this case the removal of comments without a notification on the system means it can not be appealed through the usual chanels. So I'm asking moderators for clarification. Is the right to appeal removal of comments no longer automatic and universal?
