Forum posts disappearing 2012-07-24 14:04:06 Reply

I'm getting really tired of logging on after a day of not using Newgrounds and finding out that several of my posts have been deleted.

Vanishing.... just gone.

But this is getting to be a bit ridiculous.

Yesterday, I had 7,079 posts, and today I'm at 7,066.

Do I really have to start archiving my post history in order to see what is being deleted so that I can bring this to an admin's attention?

I feel that this is unjust.

Why are my posts being deleted?

I feel that this is happening to me almost on a weekly basis, and I'm going to get to the bottom of this.

Nobody is hand picking old posts of yours or anyone else's and randomly deleting them. What's happening is that rather high-profile users with thousands of posts (and many threads) are getting their accounts deleted probably by request, and with their accounts, their posts and threads (as well as everyone's posts in those threads) get deleted too. Nothing to worry about.

You actually need to send Luis a message on facebook, and he will hand-write all the posts of yours that he has deleted and mail it to your home address within 4-12 business days.

Honestly whoever is the moderator that's deleting half of your guys posts is probably for a good reason.

liljim has a script that automatically culls useless threads from the BBS with some regularity. It affects ALL users, and it's not the moderators because we only have permission to remove threads and posts that are less than 720 hours old. I quite like it, because I don't really want to go over 12k posts and the script has allowed me to come back and participate on the BBS a few times now despite hitting 11999.

Does that mean that all users posts will EVENTUALLY fall to ... maybe half?
or lover?

this if filler text so VVVV
does that mean that the olden days are actually disapearing from the internet, and will be forgotten and can never really ever be looked back up, i would like to think that the olden days will remain with us forever, and not simply disapear from existance

A moderator really has it into you and he knows you care about your post count so he goes a few years back and delete 1 liners you made in shitty threads.

OBVIOUSLY.

How come you're not a mod yet?

Because I'd go around deleting people's post so they can't reach 10k posts and join the fabled 10k forums.

At what point do you suggest the community present you a special award for noticing a correlation between posts you have made being deleted and your post count going down?

What the fuck does it matter? No, seriously, where in your life will your post count ever get you anywhere or anything? Ever. Big fucking deal dude, you lost 20 posts. It really isn't the end of the world.

post count is your:
intelligence
length of your penis /1000
your elder level
the likely hood that admins will listen to you /1000=#%
how awesome your body is
how great you are
how awesome you are
how radical you are
how cool you are
how many sexy times with a person of your desired sex in one night /1000
how full your fridge is
likely hood of your life turning out great

and
10k forum
