Your entire posting history remains available to forum administrators. No, the messages cannot be seen by you- but if you have a question about a specific message, especially if it is recent or from a specific thread, it is generally easy for them to locate. Give as much detail as you can, including some specific reason why it is important for the admin in question to look at the message- especially including the suspected reason the message was deleted, if you are aware of that.

I very much doubt that messages to support of the general form: "Why was my post deleted?" will be specific enough or worthy enough of some sort of action or attention to result in much response. You're much better off PM'ing a mod in that case.

If there's an interesting thread running which has become the kind of thread which is likely to include a lot of deleted or edited posts, a good tip is to subscribe to the thread ("Options" > "Track This Topic" at the top of the thread), then choose "Immediate Email Notification". Then, you will get all contents of the thread, including deleted threads, and any threads which get edited by moderators you will receive them in their original, uncensored format straight into your inbox.

There's also an option in your Profile to automatically do this for any thread in which you post a reply, so that you will then receive an uncensored version of that thread from that point on. Quite a useful feature, and a good way to occasionally see things as they really are.

Yes, that works fine for all deleted posts except your own :D

Unless you have the foresight, which I never do, to save your own posts before they are deleted.

But I can't save every post I make just in case someone decides to delete them, although I probably could make an educated guess that some of them will end up on the cutting room floor :o
