Title: Deleted Posts?!

What just happened here? The owner of the thread just deleted everything (I know cause I got 49 messages about the posts deleted).

Should/will theymos put them somewhere so we can read them? (I think it was a scam)

Most likely when an admin sees this thread, yes. Theymos has done it before, in particular with the blackarrow thread if I'm recalling correctly.

Why should the posts be restored? Is there likely to be any important info there?

I haven't fixed the issue where if I restore a whole topic like this, any posts deleted by their authors in that topic will also be restored. This could annoy some people.

its a self-moderated thread
the op i think has the rights to delete the posts if he wants to!

Yes, OP has. It's really great when we can click 'Delete' button on others post instead of reporting it. ;D And many of them hide their scams in it too but people can go directly to Scam Accusation.

I don't think so but most probably to increase his/her post count and thus activity.

I haven't fixed the issue where if I restore a whole topic like this, any posts deleted by their authors in that topic will also be restored. This could annoy some people.

I thout Admins and Global Moderators can see who deleted a particular posts. I think it should be implemented if it isn't hard.

My activity wasn't affected by the deletion of the posts so I don't care if they don't come back.

I was just wondering if it could be useful to have the posts back? If there isn't any useful information then no point for theymos to restore anything. But it's quite interesting that the OP, all of a sudden, deleted everything from that thread.
