Is anyone else finding that posts are suddenly going missing? I have had a number of posts just disappear in the paddock club. I’ve spotted other peoples posts which either disappeared or were deleted too.

Any memories of some posts that went missing? The mods haven't removed anything from the Paddock Club recently. Obvs members delete their own posts all the time.

Thought I had made a few posts in the Doomsday Clock thread which seem to have disappeared.

It’s either that or I need a dialling wand when editing posts.

I can see one post of yours from that thread from about 11am yesterday that's been self-deleted?

Yesterday I got a notification you had quoted in me the transgender thread but it had gone by the time I tried to read it. I assumed you’d just deleted it yourself. It is super easy to do that by mistake.

I experienced the same thing today a post missing in the The UK Monarchy thread. I am for certain, I did not delete it. 

 

Edit: At the time of posting the above The UK Monarchy Thread, was displayed in "My Content", just checked again and now it isn't.

Yeah. I remember deleting that one. The others I definitely didn’t delete weirdly enough.

There is a deleted post from the Doomsday clock thread in basically the board’s bin area for deleted content. To be honest, the most likely explanation for it being there is accidental self deletion. However, I will definitely be keeping a weather eye on this and do flag any others.

That one is definitely strange. I don’t see any posts from you in the deleted content bin area on that topic and it’s not been moved to the mod-removed content area either. If you’ve got anything to prove it was there, like it was in your My Content on any other devices of screens, please do screenshot it.

When you’re on mobile it is very say to accidentally delete a post too. There’s no “Are you sure?” prompt. It just disappears.

Sorry that one was me trying to tidy up and move threads into a different forum. No technical issues there.

Yup. I've noticed this for a while.

 

Sometimes it's accompanied from a complaint from a mod with a valid borderline rule issue, other times it's just....well...I don't want to say it here.  I think this and the lack of posts that Reinhard was pointing out in the testing thread, are things that are both linked.
