Title: Stupid Question After Being Here 5+ Years
Post by: DaveF on August 07, 2019, 01:20:47 AM
So some of my posts got removed:

Name:   DaveF
Posts:   1224
Activity:   1228

Didn't get a PM about it so from what I can tell either the entire thread was nuked or I posted in a someones self moderated thread.

So, the stupid question is there a way I can find out what got removed?
Does not really matter, just curious.

Thanks,
Dave

If the OP deletes your post in a self-moderated topic you'll get a notification. If the entire topic is trashed you won't get a message.

So, the stupid question is there a way I can find out what got removed?
Nope, it's not really possible. Theoretically, you could screen the modlog (https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php) if you know the name / number of the topic that was trashed or the user ID of the OP but I'm in doubt if that will work.  :D

AFAIK, if a topic is getting trashed, the replies won't be listed in the modlog, only if a mod deletes a reply manually.

You could make a comparison between a saved archive of bitcointalk's post and your actual post history. This would require a lot of work tho, and I'm not sure you're willing to put that in for that information?

You can discover more here: Viewing unedited posts and deleted posts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5167469.0)
If you don't find what you need, you might ask LoyceV for help.
Going to this page: https://loyce.club/archive/posts/members/
Typing your userID at the bottom on the left corner, then get what you want.

Yes, @1miau was right. You can receive a notification once your reply was deleted by OP with the self-moderated topic and by the moderator. But if the topic creator got deleted by the moderator the whole replies also deleted without notifying the user's reply. IMO

Anyway, so far you got only 6 deleted reply/posts by the mods.

I did a recount of post counts earlier today. There are several bugs which cause the post count to drift from its real value over time. The current count is the accurate one.

I do recounts from time to time.

Well, Loyce's page is currently broken (see post above yours).
But I've been manually archiving my post history on http://archive.is/

It's not ideal, but I have successfully gotten posts back that were deleted when a thread got removed (since you don't get a notification).

Actually, now that I think about it, someone could probably write a script to automatically save someone's post history on http://archive.is/

This one help you to faster and easier to archive your posts, but I don't know that is exactly what you want or not. Let check it for your interests.

For other userscripts / add-ons, please check them here: List of Bitcointalk.org Userscripts/ Add-ons (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5148488.0)
Furthermore, if that userscript is not what you all wanted, you can ask for new userscripts here:

You'd have to paste every page of your post history in there.

In your case it is just the one page since you have less than 20 posts => https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2658943;sa=showPosts
