Unless I'm being blind, some ***** is deleting my threads

[EPW]

An investigation is in order. What do the moderation logs say? Who has the mod powers to delete threads? Who has done this before? (Dale, busters uncle) Can Ming be trusted?

[giblets]

Mobius won't be able to go back and re-read his old posts and laugh at how much smarter he is than everyone else

[BeBMan]

He firmly believes it.

[Dinner]

I think you're missing the point entirely.

Multiple threads and thousands of posts have been deleted

Are you sure they have been deleted? They might have just been moved to the mod forum. I honestly don't know.

[-Jrabbit]

Don't tell them about the existence of the Mod Forum!

Nothing we moderators like more than to hangout in chat, discussing ways in which we might annoy Mobius in the future...

[Ming]

Yeah... a bunch of stuff just isn't there anymore. It's not the first time and it won't be the last.
Sometimes the ancient software just does stuff. Bummer, but that's the way it is

And yes, the Mod Forum is like Fight Club... and you know the first rule

[EPW]

Yeah, it was Ming.

[Geronimo]

I would think a mod forum would be even more dead than the general forums

Mobius is definitely missing posts in the Ukraine thread; I know because I wanted to respond to one of his posts, but a quote of it in one of Geronimo's posts was the only thing I could find of it.

So I responded to Geronimo's post.

'A bunch of stuff just isn't there anymore' just isn't a satisfactory answer, pretty much a big fat **** you, frankly, which belies where your sympathies lie, Ming...

Nobody else seems to have been affected, apart from any collateral lost posts in the at least 3 of my recent threads deleted.

My post count is down by a quarter! ~2500 posts appear to have been deleted!

If TMM is correct, this has only targeted me, not only by deleting my entire threads, but selectively deleting posts within threads too, because nobody else has noticed it happening to them.

I find it very hard to believe it's the software, that's pretty much a bull**** answer IMO, when this incident seems to have only affected me.

Wow, I guess if you can't beat me in debate, then why not
add to the hypocrisy of your position by a cowardly deleting of my inconvenient posts and threads πŸ™„

I want my posts and threads reinstated and a commitment that this isn't going to happen to me or anyone else again.

Otherwise there's simply no point posting here anymore, if my stuff is going to be arbitrarily deleted without explanation.

Perhaps this is a reason why this second-rate echo chamber of intellectual mediocrity is slowly dying...πŸ‘

1) if you really feel like this, just go away.

2) is slowly dying? For real? This place was slowly dying 10-15 years ago. By now it's pretty much 100% dead.

Yeah... Like I have the time to individually delete 2500 plus posts.
While I do sometimes have to waste my time going in and deleting a lot of posts because of a drunken posting session by a few of our posters, it's never more than 10 or 20 because it's a pain in the ass.
But feel free to make up crap as you usually do.

I don't delete people's threads/post because of their opinion. I do it because of drunken spamming and excessive swearing.
That is something you don't do.

If you don't want to post anymore... go ahead. That's your choice. But get over your persecution complex. You aren't worth the time and effort to target.

The same thing happened to Jesus. He asked why his posts were getting deleted, and Pontius Pilate was like "I don't know what you're talking about, I have better things to do than delete some guy's posts"

I'm a bit suspicious about this. I can't really put my finger on it, but it doesn't seem true.
