Topic Deleted

[mark lamai]

when you delete a topic do you advise the poster that you did,

and the reasons?

mine has disappeared into thin air

I did a check in the board trashcan and see no topics of yours there. Which one did you start that you think was removed?

Also, normally a member is notified if a topic of their's was removed.

However, in abnormal times like we had during the airport crisis, a general warning in the thread may mean that offending posts will be deleted without explanation You will receive a formal warning notice if you violate a forum rule and are penalized.

Posts which only copy another post, without further comment, may be deleted without comment. Any post which violates our strictest rule about mentioning the monarchy, may result in immediate permanent ban.

It is also possible the topic was moved to another forum without notification.

On this subject, who deleted the topic started by Gordon1234 today? & why?

If it was a troll it was a good one and had some very funny responses by members.

Isn't this normally shown with an arrow within a box and a by-line of Moved, so the poster should be able to gather its removal, hopefully?

The arrow is there only if when moved the mod elects to keep a link (the arrow is a link pointer) in the original forum (an option box for us). I usually don't leave the link unless there is a loose connection between the previous forum and the one it was moved to. Normally a move comment is placed but sometimes in the rush of things or a poor connection it may not be placed.

Hey TW, I thought you had stopped following me around But thanks for the explanation.

If it is moved with no explanation, no matter how little relevance to the original forum, how is the hapless poster meant to follow it? His incompetence would benefit from at least a cyber-paper trail, if not an explanation.

Good Luck
