Posts Removed From Forums?
-
I read here all the time, that posts from the forums are never removed unless they are deemed offensive, etc.
Yet, there was a rather long thread about the recent WordPress problems.
I posted in it, saying my problems were resolved by disabling AdBlock on wordpress.
I posted again, when additional information was requested by macmanx, supplying all that information, which took a bit of time to gather and compile, let alone post.
I posted again last night, when it was all deemed “fixed” and that wasn’t the case.
And I posted again this morning, less than an hour ago, to say that yes, it does seem to be working.And the thread… isn’t showing. It shows that (macmanx) User last replied: 15 hours ago. No replies since. And that’s not true – I replied, twice.
Why? And why was it not noted as “closed” so I didn’t waste my time, giving additional feedback, if none was wanted? That I wasn’t thanked, no surprise there, but… why don’t my additional posts show there?
I’d like to understand how the forums really work. I understand it is volunteers, etc, that’s not my question. My question is – what are the rules behind what is deleted and ignored, what is posted, are posts moderated and not released, etc? Because, frankly, it’s not my job to troubleshoot for wordpress.com, and if it is all going to be deleted anyway, I won’t waste my time. Again.
Thank you.

You might have been caught in the spam filter (automated system) – happens to most of us at one time or another – I did find one Post of yours in that thread – was there another Post by you?
You link for a specific Post is found by clicking on the time date entry under your name.

Since we can’t see your posts but you can, it’s definitely as auxclass said.
(It’s true that staff occasionally remove posts they don’t like, but I don’t think macmanx in particular would ever do that, and in this case he would have no reason to do so.) -
Spam. I feel like I need to take a bath.
I wish it would indicate that, somewhere, some message and a reason. Oh, well.
Thanks, justpi and auxclass!

Hang in there please as I flagged both threads for Staff attention ealier this morning. -
Thank you, timethief!
I won’t copy and paste the comments here, but I truly do not know what would have caused them to be treated as spam. The one that was giving macmanx the info he requested had a slew of urls in it, though it doesn’t explain the others, including the ones before that one.

I could only find three posts from you that were still marked as spam, all left on https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpress-malfunctioning-need-help
They have been recovered.

You be welcome
Spam filters happen – it’s automated – sometimes if you post too much – sometimes links will trip it – the staff won’t let out the exact way someone has their comment spammed – probably to keep people from trying to beat it –
