First, this belongs either in N-DD or as a PM to someone who could better answer you. Second, try searching all of your own responses and look for the one you think you lost. If it isn't gone, then there's nothing to complain about. If it is, I'd imagine you would receive a PM from the mod who deleted it explaining why. If not, probably either a flame war or OT caused the thread to be locked or deleted.

The standard procedure is to notify someone if a topic is locked or deleted unless it is blatantly spam or breaks the rules. What was the topic about?

Oh, and I'm moving this to NDD.

I've moved this to suggestions. ;) Even though Kala moved it to NDD. Dude, you've really got to remove the report. ;)

Normally, I'd only delete a topic if it was duplicated someplace (ie, someone accidentally posted the same topic twice). Apart from that, I don't normally delete any topics. I think the only other case is if its blatant spamming and there's really no point to even keeping it locked. So, I may be lazy, but I'd rather not send PMs about that sort of thing as its mostly part of a cleanup process. ;)

I've not seen the topic you refer to though, so it wasn't me. ;) Sometimes though, there are odd code happenings that occur. There was a time when, if you deleted a post in a topic, the whole topic got wiped out. :?

Hmmm... it doesn't sound so bad. Perhaps it was just a mistake? I can't really tell you for sure, but someone will generally tell you why it was deleted so that you don't make the same mistake again. If this happens again, PM me and I will put the question out on the moderator board.

sorry that was me, my net was acting up badly so by the time i was trying to send you the PM it locked up. glad you brought it up.

the reason the thread got deleted was because it had degenerated into borderline flaming between people and most assuradly spam. try posting it again and lets hope people can keep it on topic and remain polite.


sorry about not contacting you about it. *hangs head in shame*
