 * Hi, would it be possible to add a new notification type for when a post is trashed?
 * We’re running a site where users can submit posts to be featured on the site,
   but only approved posts that fit within the guidelines will be shown once vetted.
   What would help us is the ability to inform the author of the suggested post 
   that their post has been trashed so that we can offer up a notification and an
   explanation as to why that might happen.
 * I don’t know how difficult this would be for you to implement in a future version,
   but thought it best to ask.
 * P.S. Plugin has made my life vastly easier, so thank you!

 * Hi christwin,
    Thanks for your message.
 * It’s a good idea and I’ve added it to the roadmap for inclusion in a near future
   version.
    Glad you like the plugin – if you like, please feel free to leave an
   honest review.
 * Hope this helps.
 * Thanks,
    Jack
