From what I've gathered, Seibertron no longer has mods or "admins". Burn, I think (used?) to be an admin/mod, so he might be able to shed more light on the matter. I think, basically, this means that users aren't as susceptible to being banned? However, as (news) admins are now the equivalent of "mods", all they can do is remove or edit posts that they don't want or think is irrelevant/inappropriate.
I encountered a similar problem with a news admin, which we both came to a form of compromises over via PMs. You could try PMm'ing the admin to rectify the situation. Again, please correct me if I'm wrong here, but as they are only news admins, they cannot, for example, directly change the content of your signature, avatar, related text, etc. However, I don't advocate intentionally breaking the site rules, as I'm sure admins or ex mods could always contact the site owner if things got to that point?
As for reporting, I think this site has a "report post" option, so you could, theoretically, report a post by a news admin and include a complaint about them removing your post? However, from what I've gathered, even admins/ex-mods have the same chances of action being taken in some instances? I think I remember an admin recently complaining about ads causing problems with the main site page and seemingly the current reporting system being ineffective in getting a reaction/fix?
