Deleted posts - do these all count when an entire thread is deleted?

[cryptohunter]

I am compiling a list of my deleted posts and their context for future reference and actually I notice huge swathes sometimes entire pages in my message box are all from threads that  no longer exist. I have located 2 entire threads from different OP's that have been totally vaporized and all of those posts of mine in there are coming as separate deletes or at least that is what it looks like?

Should these not just count as 1 delete? when the thread gets taken down. The best part is all that important information and evidence is still there which is fantastic.

But I mean if you have say 25 posts in one thread and it gets deleted why do you get 25 messages saying post deleted? one by one? or is it possible that all the posts were deleted individually one after another and then then thread was nuked later on?

Does this happen for every person that is banned? Their threads (they started) are deleted?  is that not incredibly dangerous if true because the historical damage is huge in some cases.  Were anonymints topics deleted that he started?

Banned users threads aren't automatically deleted. Maybe is they are a newbie they get nuked, not sure where the line is drawn. For example this user is banned, and the topic has survived.

I'm pretty sure if you are receiving the PM about a post being deleted then it is each individual post being deleted by a Mod or in a self Moded thread. If it is an entire topic being trashed, then I don't believe a PM is sent.

There was a thread on this recently I'll try and find it.

Edit: Here's the topic.

Thanks, that is quite interesting to know.

Not a problem.

    To answer your question about anonymint, I'm only aware of his posts under the handle anunymint getting nuked. His posts under iamnotback were not nuked. When anunymint was nuked, I never got notice of all of my posts that were deleted that I made in his threads nor responses to him in the wall observer thread.
