How do!

So in the Cursed City thread, I’ve seen posts disappearing. The first was one of mine, but figured it was the Modquisition (and fair enough), but didn’t get a PM to match. Now, one of Lord _Blackfang’s posts has disappeared. There was nowt controversial about it, and it was on-topic, which got my eyebrows raise.

If it is just Mods doing Modding, no worries at all. But figured it was a bit odd.

There's a common cache issue that causes new posts to not appear and /or messes with page counts in longer threads. The mods can clear this manually when it's brought to our attention.

Otherwise, posts can sometimes be collateral damage when other posts are removed, particularly when they are continuing an off topic or otherwise inappropriate tangent introduced by the post that needed to go initially.

And sometimes it's just that a mod accidentally deleted the wrong post.

I've had a scan through the log, and can't see anything of lord_blackfang's that's been deleted, so the cache issue is the most likely culprit here. Or you've misremembered which thread the post you're thinking of was in...

I've seen multiple posts of mine deleted lately, not really sure of the reason.

I didn't get any mod message, so I only noticed because I went back to the thread.

We will sometimes delete a string of posts where they threaten to take a thread of topic, or are in some other way inappropriate. If there are posts from multiple users, we'll generally only message those (if any) whose posts were worthy of a warning or some other moderator action.

I just got one deleted on the Battletech thread on News, was this the case? I have seen this multiple times, and never got any message at all, which would be a good thing.

Particularly because I still see other posts about the same topic in the thread.

Indeed!

What happened? Was it some software error, or just a deletion?

It's still there, so it wasn't deleted. If it wasn't visible at some point, that would likely have been a cache glitch.

Interesting, thanks for the answer
