The Mystery of Disappearing Threads [vanity]
me
Posted on 06/08/2015 10:10:27 AM PDT by ctdonath2
An observation about legitimately deleted threads, and the propensity for such thread starters to complain about deleted threads:
When a thread is deleted, the only information about the deletion is by following a link to it - usually available only because the link was up just long enough to appear somewhere. Thing is: the thread creator is not notified, s/he just notices it's not there anymore - and if hadn't kept a link, it just disappears.
So... can I suggest that when a moderator deletes a thread, the thread creator be notified (PM or Ping) of the fact and a link to the thread provided (lest what little is left be completely lost).

“I don’t take it personal when they don’t.”
Not about personal, it’s about knowing where the thread went & why. I had to dig pretty hard to find that my latest was killed because of a typo in the article URL.

This thread has been tortioned, twisted, stapled, punchcarded, and turned into toast then eaten with black raspberry jelly.
Now we need drinks, hop to it.

killed because of a typo in the article URL. Become familiar with copy and become familiar with paste. Very handy.

My thoughts: Don’t like the way things are run, create your website. Easy said easy done right?
Nah go ahead and make suggestions but in the end it is up the owner to either heed the suggestion or put it in file 13.

Are you missing some threads that were deleted? I finally figured out what to do with my beeber. I keep deleted threads in it.

I may have to create a “What Happened When the Mods Pulled My Thread” UT thread.

My psychic powers are diminishing with old age.. but I'm gaining some new ones. Which is nice.
X-ray vision? Leap tall buildings?

X-ray vision? Leap tall buildings? Ignoring past physical damage and knowing where to find stuff in the Walmart pharmacy section.
So I've got that going for me.

Not to be redundant, but isn’t “UT thread” akin to “PCV valve?”
