Now I'm really confused

thanhmy · 10-14-2017, 03:57 AM

why was my post taken down without any comment or even message from a moderator I did not go on a personal attack I was just asking a question as to how this form was being run I appreciate knowing what's going on here.

granted I am still suffering from sleep deprivation and I could have just missed something so I'm not trying to be a troublemaker thank you

Was it in the wrong place? As this one is? Perhaps its just been moved.

It does look like your post was deleted. I'm not a moderator, so I can't tell you why. If you want to know how the forum is run your answer might be in the FAQs.

I'm not a moderator, and did not see the post that was deleted, so I can't give you an definite answer. However, I can make an educated guess. Notably, your post creating this thread doesn't belong in this sub-forum. This sub-forum is about posting deals and freebies, not to create threads asking questions about the site. This includes asking why a previous post in this sub-forum was deleted. The proper place to ask these things would be over in the Feedback sub-forum. Since you say you were asking a question about how the forum is run, it probably belonged there as well, and this is why the post was deleted.

Note this isn't a criticism, everyone has to learn the rules of a new forum and are bound to make a few mistakes.

As far as the MobileRead Editors can tell, the poster is mistaken, and this is their first post.

Oh the old, hit the wrong button when posting. I have done that more than once.

I didn't know bthe Feedback, Announcement, Lounge etc forums existed until I had been on Mobile read for a long time. When I first started using the site I scrolled down the forum list, came to the foreign language section and thought I had reached the end of the English language forums. It was only after I came across a link to the Announcement forum in someone's post that I found out this section of the forums existed.

Same here. "I'm sure I posted a reply to that post, but I can't find it anymore!"
