Still, I have a little trouble with the way the form-letter emails are composed.
The text of mine read:

It's about as informative as a pickpocket (banker?) blowing in your ear. Or someone telling you your aunt just woke up from a coma (and you have two dozen aunts).
A link to the missing content wouldn't be practical, as it would show up as 404/Not found. The next best approach would be to give a hint of from about where the content was removed. I have 425 galleries, the balance of which have more than one page of thumbs, in other words 25+ pics (some as many as 100, some more than that).
Having received this email, I can pretty much assume/conclude that:
1 There was only one picture removed;
2 The content owner prefers not to be known;
3 Neither ImageFap nor I need care about which one picture it was, as the matter was resolved when the picture was removed;
4 The former in line 3 half-expects I'll do it again.
In short, the whole concept of an alert email needs a little re-thinking. Perhaps it should be abandoned if it can't, practically or otherwise, be made any more informative or helpful to the member who incurs the violation.
And lest we forget: there are content providers, known to ImageFap, who prefer not to have their names or DBAs appear on the Forbidden List. Where that puts Mike or Mary Member can't be a "good place" in the wake of one of these "Alerts."
In the meantime I will continue to be as conscientious as I have been in the past about the content of my galleries, and let the chips fall where they may.
