Thread Name: BS: Closed threads & deleted posts.
Subject: RE: BS: Closed threads & deleted posts.
it's already been said that an hour or so of posting immediatley prior to the upgrade appears to have been lost. thread was probably within that timeframe.

MMario - My first attempt to post that thread to enquire about the fate of the original one, was NOT lost in any update - was it?

Despite my request for all cases of censorship action to be indicated and explained in a editing comment - and for all editing comments to be limited to where some form of action has actually taken place - this has not been adopted by our 'moderators'.

So - any poster who cannot find their contribution still has no way of knowing if this is because it has been censored, lost in some software glitch or is as a result of us being in the 'Twilight Zone - have they?

If my suggestion were adopted - when posters did not see an editing comment - they could be sure that censorship was not the cause of their contribution's non-appearance or get paranoid about this possibility. They could then start looking for other explanations.
