disappearing threads?

  • your started 4 threads in quick succession, each with a really brief post. so not much new content, and it clogged up the board. which is probably why ppl voted them as spam. (i wondered whether to vote them as spam, but didn't.)

    try 1 thread at a time, with more content. up to you whether to combine the subjects of the previous posts, or pick 1 to start with.

    The forum team may never have been involved in this. If there are enough users marking a post as spam, it disappears automatically. It doesn't matter whether the originator of the post agrees it was spam - the majority wins "the argument" (without having one).

    'Mob rule' does not rule this forum - the FT do

    Although 'Mob rule' may remove posts/threads from view, the FT can reinstate them if, after review, it is deemed inappropriately removed.

    Note also the FT can also see who 'spammed' any particular post, and if a pattern is seen to emerge without due cause, then the FT may take action against those individual users.

    You can find the answer to those questions in the Forum Rules I linked to previously too :)

    Only you are talking about 'mob rule', of which there has been no evidence in the many years I have been an MSE member.
