Who is canceling my posts?

For a few months now, I've tried to post a message about my web site
to an appropriate newsgroup, but it ends up being cancelled within the
hour.  This has happened everytime I've tried, over and over again.  

It appears someone has set up a robot to look for posts from me and
then cancels them.  I have never gotten a message from whoever is
responsible and there is never any sign of the cancelation in this or
any other newsgroup.

Nothing has been posted by me in months and I only post to say 5
related newsgoups -- so if you're a anti-spammer, don't send me a
bunch of garbage UNSOLICITED email, like "Die spammer Scum Bag".  I do
NOT spam but I am really against this sort of unaccountable control by
a handful of anti-spammers.

There has to be better accountability than this.  At this point there
doesn't seem to be any!  What stops a company from cancelling any
posts done by one of their competitors?

I am getting so sick of this type of censorship, that I feel like
putting up a website naming the companies that support individuals
that police the net and asking people to boycott them.  

If anyone can help me track down who is doing what with my posts or
how they are doing it, I would really appreciate it.
