    I was following a thread and even posted a comment about my thoughts when suddenly the original poster along with the thread disappeared into the ether, when a user voluntarily deletes their account does it take their posts with them? Or is this a result of a ban? I just wondered how curiosity because I've never seen a thread just disappear like that before

    This was a result of a ban. Basically underhanded advertising.

    Okay thank you for the reply. And now I know to think "Oh, the person got banned" instead of "huh, am I going nuts?" :D

    We forum users can report posts like spam if we think it violates TOU. Then the moderators will make the decision to delete it. I’ve reported quite a few over the years and they have all disappeared quickly.
    To report a post, reply etc just hit the 3 horizontal bars at the lower left and go from there. It’s painless but probably want to read up on what violates the tou first.

    Oh I usually don't because I struggle with in person social situations. So I feel that it would be pretty easy to end up reporting something only to realize that I misinterpreted the post or I'm just being an idiot, ect. It's the reason why I don't run a forum of my own or try being a moderator. shoot, it never even occurred to me that the thread that got deleted might have even been an advertisement.
     
    d o g and Concorde Thank this.

    Many times, it don't even have to be reported. The moderators see evwrything... They're everywhere......

    Becoming a moderator on the forum is probably the equivalent of an individual trying to become the CEO of a company or the president of the U.S.A., extraordinarily difficult without the right credentials and / or experience.

    Having a been a game admin and forums admin its not hard just tedious. That said please don't compare being hated by half the country if not more to being the president, CEO of a company aint too hard just if you fail your company will suffer. I have been all those those positions once except one and I have no desire to be hated by half the country ever so thats one position I will never try for we all need to know our limits. Lastly, you can be CEO of a company and still not be rich only aged a bit from all the stress was a Christian organization stores was fun to see all the things people give as donations and meeting all the nice people
