Title: Post deletation without notice? Post by: tyz on May 01, 2019, 04:28:26 PM I had 8399 posts yesterday. Today I have written four posts and my current post counter is at 8400 posts. Can it be that (old) posts are deleted without being informed?
Title: Re: Post deletation without notice? Post by: TryNinja on May 01, 2019, 04:29:22 PM You only get a notification when your own threads/posts get deleted.
What probably happened is that a thread where you posted was deleted (thus, your post vanished as well). In this case, there is no notification. For example: If this thread of yours got deleted, you would receive a PM notifying it. But this post of mine (that I'm writing right now), would get deleted in the process, and I wouldn't be notified. Title: Re: Post deletation without notice?

Only you will get notification once moderator delete your post/reply specifically.
Edit: Seems TryNinja already gave good example. :) Title: Re: Post deletation without notice? Post by: TryNinja on May 01, 2019, 04:34:55 PM It is not always a moderator, people sometimes delete their own threads and since the thread isn't yours, and it wasn't deleted by a moderator, you get no notifications for it. Only mods can delete threads.We can only delete posts. Title: Re: Post deletation without notice? Post by: ankit10 on May 01, 2019, 05:11:48 PM I had 8399 posts yesterday.

The posts which are copied or posts/thread which is already available on the forum can be deleted by mods without notification.It is not always a moderator, people sometimes delete their own threads and since the thread isn't yours, and it wasn't deleted by a moderator, you get no notifications for it.

And in few sections of forum, we are not allowed to delete our posts or thread (for example Auction). I think it depends on the section. There are sections where it's possible to delete a post directly, there are sections where it's only possible to delete it after 24 hours and there are sections where it's impossible to delete own posts.

If you don't post in spam megathreads but in average topics, and after a while spammers start to grow the topic into a spam megathread, your post will also be deleted after a period of time, so you can't be sure and cautious enough where to post...
