Got banned from a local swap group for calling out a $150 lawnmower scam

Last Tuesday I posted in our neighborhood Facebook swap group about a guy selling a used mower for $150 that was clearly a $60 Home Depot special with a fresh coat of spray paint. I even linked the exact model and pointed out the missing safety guard. The admin took it down within an hour and then banned me for 'harassing a community member.' The kicker? Two days later the same guy listed a leaf blower that was just as sketchy and it sold in 10 minutes. I get that the group likes to keep things civil, but warning people about an unsafe mower feels like the whole point of a swap group. Has anyone else been kicked out of a local buy/sell page for trying to protect people from a bad deal?
