My thread was removed and nobdoy sent me a PM

I made a post in the software section and it was removed and nobody contacted to tell me why it was removed.

I want to know way it was removed so I don't do it again.

 

I posted about a utility I found that makes it easy to share screen shots.

I guess it was maybe considered advertising for profit or something.

And thanks for posting that. I've never read the rules when I signed up back in 2006 :-D

 

That's where my post went. Thanks for pointing that out.

 

Yeah sometimes they don't delete things, they move them to where they ACTUALLY belong and don't leave behind a "moved" placeholder because that's just e-trash lying around wrecking the e-lawn.

 

So it wasn't removed, just moved.

 

Generally it's better to PM an Admin/Mod regarding the issue rather than start a thread about it...

 

I just had the same thing happen to me.
It wasn't a shot at TimW.
I was just trying to point out to "OP"'s that a quick click on the "Thanks" tab is "common courtesy" if you can't give a more detailed thank you.

And gee...sometimes members are to quick to bring attention to a situation (your deleted thread) before the PM can even be sent b/c the Admin is busy handling multiple things on the forum at the same time.rolleyes

A little patience goes a long way.

 

Thanks Abby Sue.
But in over 6 years I've never had a PM sent to me over a deleted thread.
Just wiped with no explanation. :cry

If you had a thread deleted and no one contacted you it would be b/c it was a case of "common sense" in that it was assumed you would be able to easily figure out why on your own.

In this case, I would have PM'd you an explanation if you didn't first see for yourself why but as previously stated...I was handling multiple things at once so hadn't had a chance to do it yet.

 

I too have PM's sent and replied to by you Bazza regarding deleted posts/threads. I keep a back up of all my messages that pertain specifically to the forum. Just never know when a look back will prove helpful.:cool

 

Thanks Halo, your Outbox is obviously lots better than my memory. :-o

I should have added "IIRC" to my previous post. :-D :-o

Abby Sue, I'm gonna have to apologise to you also (as well as Halo)
I must be suffering from "old timers disease" and I'm not referring to being a long time member of MG.

Bah, I think they just move posts around to confuse us! :-D

 

Bazza, it's just cus you're old. Don't worry about it, pretty soon you'll forget you're old too and it'll be like it NEVER happened. And I may start hitting you up for money you borrowed... we shall see.

 

Old??......Uh, oh...I used to remember what that was. :confused

 

In that case, where's that $50 you borrowed last year? You can paypal it to me

 

It must still be in the mail.
~ Trust me.rolleyes

 

Don't make me send out the diaper brigade, he bites.

 

Faint hope, Wenchie. :-D Lending money, I can remember. :major
