Why are my posts deleted?!

The title says it all, sometimes I comment some posts and immediately they are deleted! Although I Never said anything wrong with it or something … is someone from the moderators targeting me for some reason?? I’m serious about this as there are posts from me are deleted and they contain NOTHING wrong!! Sometimes they are memes, sometimes they are details, and so on… LIKE EVERYONE DOES IN THE FORUM!!

I hope this thread also doesn’t get deleted … this is truly unacceptable … I thought this forum was better than this level … I discovered that there’s nothing professional about it … this is getting unbearable…

Just speculating… If you are necro’ing old threads, while not adding anything meaningful on topic, those posts are frequently deleted. If you are creating threads in the wrong subforum, those threads can be moved or deleted. If your posts are basically hijacking someone else’s thread with your own separate issue, those posts are often deleted.

But I have no idea what applies in your case. You could PM a mod and ask, who are generally friendly.

Thank you for your reply! This is the post that was deleted, I reposted it again… I believe it has nothing harmful or something, just expressive and a bit of a meme and a small joke, here’s the pic:

Please, don’t tell me it destroys the world … )':

Thank you for you honesty! I really appreciate it :smile:

Let me get this straight.

  • you post this
  • you don’t add any meaningful to the conversation
  • you repost your deleted post
  • and then come here and complain about professionality
  • and you find it “unbearable” that your absolute off-topic photo gets deleted…

ROFL.

Ok, have a nice day!

Are you sure the posts are successfully submitted in the first place? Not being picked up by the spam filter, or anything along those lines?

The mods are almost all volunteers and there’s a steady stream of actual issues to clean up. They’re pretty well on the ball, but even genuine spam and reported posts don’t get cleaned up “immediately”.

Yes, I’m sure. Proof is that I closed the chrome tab, and opened the thread to see my comment if it was there, and it was there, so there’s no way it wasn’t posted correctly. I also have a habit of checking my comments every now and then, especially when posting them first time, I close the tab and reopen the same URL site to see/check it.

Thank you for your concern!

angrypenguin,

I love your image btw, I used to watch that cartoon as a kid, I’ll never forget how many times it made me laugh! :smile:

I saw your post, as much as it was quite funny I would still prefer this forum not to be bloated with memes.
I think you should give a link to the picture instead of in lining it.

“Don’t assume malice when incompetence will suffice.”

Not to say that the Unity is in any way incompetent, it’s just how the saying goes. I’m just saying don’t rush to assume this is some sort of malice act against you.

Bugs and mistakes happen.

Give them a chance to resolve the issue.

Ah, yes. That would do it.

It’s not a matter of being mean. It’s that these forums are meant to be a professional setting.

There’s threads for memes.
