I've already weighed in on the "Something's rotten in Mudcatville" side of this argument numerous times, however...

On the one hand we have Jeri whose moderator perspective, I presume, allows her to tell whether or not posts have been deleted from this thread saying that nothing has been deleted. On the other hand, posters are saying that perfectly innocuous posts have been deleted. Well, I'm practically a computer illiterate compared to a lot of folks around here, but that sounds more like a computer glitch than a rogue moderator to me. Unless that rogue moderator has also found a way to hide his/her tracks from other mods, that is.

Let's eliminate the possibility that the root of the problem lies in the Mudcat's problem-children servers and bipolar programming first, then let's start pointing fingers at human beings.

Maybe it'd be a good idea for folks to "take snapshots" of their posts, complete with subject line, date and time, and copy them to a word-processing file. That way if a post does get deleted a copy can be sent to the help forum along with a request for an explanation.
