Looked back through the logs through Friday and didn’t see any deletions from the thread. I’m honestly not sure what would have happened there. Only post deletions in the recent past were obvious forum spammers that were immediately banned (and mostly in Off Topic anyway). I’ll look into the disappearances, but not sure if I’ll pull up anything. If anyone else sees anything missing, toss me a PM, maybe I can narrow things down more that way.
Truly a mystery how useful posts that are relevant to the topic of the thread in question and generally contribute to discourse and pacific resolution just disappear like that. A most regrettable loss.
Let me preface this post by saying that I don’t have any concerns with my post being deleted if the moderators actually took that decision. I don’t need anyone to get back to me either - it’s a non-issue for me.
However, if the mods and admins are trying to troubleshoot a potential problem, let me offer this -
The 14th post in the link from the OP was the third post in a thread of quotes, and the first two are gone. Also, I think that the last post of mine that he quoted was actually already on the second page, so it appears that a whole section of the thread went missing. I also received some thumbs for the deleted post and in my reputation box it now references a ‘deleted post’. Don’t know if that helps but that’s my attempt at a good deed for the day
