I'm pretty sure that I've responded to some things in some of the forums, but when I go back a few days later I don't see my response.

Is there any way to tell if mods are deleting posts?

[Cipher13]

Heh, I've had the same thing. Pisses me off. Oh well, thats why they do it.
Anyway...
You can't really tell.
Theres no feedback of it

hmm... strange... I wonder why they would do that... Was the post offensive in any way?

there is an actual way of checking whether posts of yours have been deleted, though it's kinda disgusting just to think about. search for every post by yourself, and count them, and it should equal your post total. and no, I do not seriously expect any one to do this. if Cipher does, he needs to really seek professional help immediately .
if you think that there is some problem with your posts getting deleted, please make a log of your posts (where you post and when) and then check to see whether your posts are actually being deleted. If they are (and you have a log of a post disappearing), and there is no note from a moderator about deleting it, either something messed up with the ubb (this is always possible), or someone has in fact deleted it without telling why, which is not supposed to happen. try contacting the moderator of the forum via email (with cc: to Misha if you think it is getting to be a serious problem (ie. you think that one moderator has deleted a number of your posts without cause or explanation.)) asking about the post.
There are server logs which the Admins can check, so they can answer your specific questions. also, you can post in the Sug/Com forum, as you did. I'd just like to add, thank you for posting this here in the Sug/Com.

Um, not lately.
One or two a while ago pissed Misha off I think.
I've had several responses to trolls and flamers requested to be deleted along with the original (which I'm not counting).

But no, perfectly legitimate responses.
I've been keeping an eye out though. Oh well, they wanna delete my posts, thats their problem. I've still done my part.

Hahaha, the search only shows 200 results doesn't it?
LOL
Keep a log of all my posts? Nah, I'm too lazy. LOL, I'd never go back to check it
Ah well.
Maybe if more of my posts start disappearing I will.
Hm.

maybe it was during the time when they were randomly resetting the forums.

i became addict 3 times

------------------
Bored, Albert is.
Speak like Yoda, he will.

Email address of him, AlbertWu@Mac.com is.

[Cipher13]

Nah, I didn't count those 50 posts.
The ones I'm talking of are every now and then, not in big hits so much.
More methodical, not a blitzkreig.

You reached addict 3 times? I passed Wlonh 3 times
LOL

Yeah, I found 73 on search but it says 101 next to my name. I'll have to ponder the meaning of those numbers and get a conclusion later.

It's not "their problem" if they want to delete my posts, C. I spend time writing them and reading the threads in order to help out. If my posts are just going to be dumped, I won't waste my time.

Shop smart, shop S-Mart! You got that!!?!!

I totally understand that and agree with you - but, theres not much we can do about it
You've done your bit, and you know it.
Sometimes in life, that'll have to be enough.
The sitch does suck though eh

I was thinking of making it rotate along the x-axis... not using that as my sig, but just for the hell of it

Hehe.
