Yep.coinneach said:Does anyone else find it mistifying when posts are deleted?
I posted one on the Clinic Froome thread, only to find it gone 12 hours later.
No explanation, nor have I the slighted idea why.
Is it too much to ask for an explanation when it happens?
In my case I thought Red Rick made a funny analogy, I wrote "ROFL". Too few characters? Would it be better if spelled it out? Posted a little image meme? Or was it too vague? Would it be better if I told him that I thought it a well crafted metaphor in a more serious tone? Or was it a more substantive issue were the post was seen as a furthering of the original message in a way that may bring about a potential derailment of the thread?Irondan said:I've been deleting posts that are either trolling, baiting, rude or any number of other infractions.
If your post is gone it's because of one of those.

We don't give warning when we delete posts, that would be unrealistic. But I'll try to get "sorted out" since your computer is so unreliable.Cannibal72 said:I've just got a warning for 'reposting a deleted post', but I received no notification whatsoever that my post had been deleted, so I just assumed my unreliable computer had ate it. Can the moderators please sort themselves out?
