    After I got an infraction for stating some obvious facts, at least I got a PM explanation. So far so good.

    But since yesterday at least 2 posts of mine were deleted without notification. There were swear words in the posts but not directed at anybody particular, and I used that in the past without deletion.

    So does this have to do with my current infraction or just one moderator messing with me? And who is that moron, by the way?

    Sincerelly....

    Moderators can only delete posts in their own forums, except James and Plazma.

    It's possible your messages simply vanished off the forum. It's unlikely, but I have seen it in the past. However, this usually happens within seconds of someone making a post. The likely cause is either James R or Plamzma deleted them.

    I've checked your posts in previous month in your profile and there are no deleted posts.

    Even if some moderator deleted your posts, it's 'soft' deletion. There will be notification in your profile and I could view and manage deleted post.

    Only I could physically remove posts and threads from the database. But, I also use 'soft' delete. Anyway, I deleted couple of posts lately, but they weren't yours.

    Can you remember, in which forum were those missing posts?

    Maybe I am getting old. I did find 1 post, so that was my bad and it wasn't deleted. The other one maybe I didn't click on Post Quick Reply and never got sent, I assume.

    Anyway, it's all good now....

    Your infraction was for a direct and profane insult to another member. You did have a deleted post (you now have two) in that same thread. The first was because of gratuitous and unnecessary profanity and the content wasn't sufficient to simply edit the post. The second was due to lack of content altogether.

    The History subforum is an academic one. It isn't a free-for-all like FreeThoughts or a slugfest like Politics. Touchy political, yet historical, threads like the one in question get closely monitored to ensure they don't become free-for-alls or slugfests.

    Your thread is interesting and I disagree with your opposition in it. But lets keep the content of posts viable, on-topic, and without profanity, vulgarity, insults and hatred.

    It's easily overlooked in the posts list. There's only a little trashcan icon in the corner and, if you don't know which post your looking for in which forum, it could easily be overlooked. I knew which of both and had to scroll back and forth twice before I spotted it. I actually went back and looked when Plazma said that to see if it was there.

    Its quite possible that Plazma is under their mind control techniques, so he cant remember the damage he did.

    Or he may be aware of the damage, but conditioning of the brain by Illuminati mind controllers prevents him to act accordingly.

    making mistakes is NOT solely a human thing...he could be a hippo, using a keyboard with a straw.

    Actually with my two upper teeth. That's why I always respond slowly.
