Facebook deleting post.

Attached is a message I received from FB, which states it has reviewed my appeal and my post does not adhere to the standards.
It then goes on to say it can not show me the offending post as that is against the standards.
A couple things struck me
1) I do not have a clue what they are talking about.
2) I have not appealed any removed posts,
3) As I have no idea what the post was that they say they deleted, and what they call SPAM, so I am likely to repeat it at some time.
I was deregistered for something like this a few years back and all my friends, contacts, posts and photographs were deleted, never to be resurrected.
Has anyone had this just recently?
TIA
