Blog Has Disappeared

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi,

    A blog I wrote today has completely disappeared. I wrote and then tweeted it and when I checked my blog stats later, the blog had gone and all I could see was the Title.

    I had some strange activity on my nlog yesterday where somebody kept deleting letters, words and changing the text sizes.
    Can somebody tell me where the blog went? If it was a takedown order I would get a notice but it hadn’t been up for long and had no views according to my stats .

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I can see your latest post “Why Trumps Presidency Sets A Bad Precedent For Acceptable Standards” Posted on June 27, 2018.

    I wrote the blog four hours ago. Then it dissappeared. I started to write it again and it was in draft mode. It looks like somebody made it live but as you can see it is unfinished.

    Very strange.

    Possibly another attempt to stop free speech and embarrassment.

    Hi amplifytheecho,

    I’ve checked the revision history for “An Officer Calls” and it shows several copy changes have been made by your user account in the last few hours — we did not make the changes you have mentioned. You can see each revision by clicking the “History” link at the top of the post:

    Do you recall making any changes to the post around the time it switched to a draft? For example, copy changes or fixing typos.

    I wrote it out and published it then linked it to twitter. It was up. Then when I went back to check stats not long after, all the text in the body had gone but the title remained.
    So, I went to my twitter and clicked on the link to my blog post and it came up with an oops message.
    I never deleted it. Very strange.

    My edits only show the second attempt at writing it. Which is what is there now. And showing as a draft several hours ago.

    I wrote a much longer blog and very detailed.
    The weird thing is, it has the log time for the original blog but its like the original never existed.

    What on earth made all of that writing just vanish?

    Hi, that is confusing. Right now we aren’t seeing anything in our logs, so can you watch when you create another post, and just to make sure you don’t lose anything, switch to the Text tab in the editor, copy out all the content and paste it into a plain text file for safe keeping and then publish the post and check on it again like you did with the other one. If it disappears, let us know without rewriting it so that we can take a look and see if we can figure out what is going on.
