Generally, if you provide contact information, that is how people will get a hold of you.
If I understand that situation clearly, the server had no proper contact info, so it was going to simply be taken off the list due to the controversial MOTD.
Jamz decided to go into the server to try giving the server owner one last opportunity to fix the problem before being (otherwise) inexplicably removed. He did not have to go into the server to warn the owner; had he not, then the owner's post would have been "unh! Nobody told me anything was wrong with my server! Why was it removed??" To which the response would have been "1) you gave no contact info so that we could tell you that 2) the MOTD is contrary to the rules."
Lesson? Put your contact info in the server extended info! And expect the devs to come knocking if you have controversial methods or settings (such as "Anything goes: Hacking ..." for the MOTD)!
