Disappearing Threads/Posts

Why do some threads/posts seem to disappear?

The first time I noticed this was when I made a reply to an older thread...nothing particularly controversial about my post IMO but it seemed to get lost or unpublished.

Today, I was looking to see if there were any updates to a thread I started- http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/1518106-pro-shop-ball-exchange-am-i-being-unreasonable/ First I noticed that it was NOT listed in "my content" then, when I found the old link in my browser got the following message.

Sorry, we couldn't find that!

You do not have permission to view this topic.

Again, I didn't think anything was too controversial or heated (and no PMs from moderators), so am not sure why a 2 page thread would disappear or be closed off to the OP??

Not sure. I got a similar message this morning when trying to review some replies to comments. Seems the poster that replied to my comments is no longer active so maybe they were banned.

Their board - their rules.

Some threads simply are best deleted. Doesn't happen very often but it does occur now and then.

I get this, but nothing in the thread seemed very controversial to me. While there were a couple of different view points, everyone seemed very civil with each other...

To delete the thread without any explanation really leaves anyone who posted in it (maybe a dozen members) in the dark as to what it was that caused the thread to be deleted.

You can always send a "report" from this thread to a Moderator and ask them. Having met a couple of them I can attest to the fact they really are awesome individuals and I cannot imagine their getting angry over a simple question. So long as it doesn't cross the line into an offensive attack you might get a better answer than mine here.

For the record I have had a LOT of my replies and threads nuked here. Doesn't bother me in the least. As I said their board and their rules. I just choose to move on and enjoy another thread. This place has SO much to offer I guess I don't even really give nuked threads/posts a second thought.

In any case cheers and enjoy!
