You do get a reason that you're banned if one of your threads gets deleted. It's because that thread really sucked.

It's better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb.

There is. In your ban message there is a reason for ban. However sometimes it can be a little unclear especially if you don't remember the post and the thread was deleted.

If a thread is bad enough to be DELETED, it should be pretty obvious why, since most mods will lock a thread for breaking a minor rule. Just read the rules, and you'll know why threads get deleted.

well I've read the rules a few times, and one of the threads I recently made got deleted, and I have literally no idea why, so I was just thinking that it might be nice to know

What was your thread about? I could give it a shot in telling you why it was deleted...

Yes, I have the ability to read mods' minds. Fear please.

If your thread gets locked, usually we leave a reason why. If it gets deleted, it's because it should have never existed in the first place, and you don't need a reason.

I definitely don't want to leave a message each time I delete some crap thread.

I've been refurbished and reissued, prepackaged and precooked, decontaminated and deloused, but I still smell, sound, look and feel like shit.

Getting a NG account banned, thats a whole thing!

I don't know much about copyright laws, but to me, downloading an episode is still downloading an episode, no matter what process you use to do it. I doubt there is a legal way to download Dragonball Z episodes.

Um...I realize this may be a bit of a "duh" statement, but did you ever think of just asking a mod why your thread was deleted? I mean, obviously starting a whole new thread just to ask why the old one was deleted is kind of stupid, but this seems like a simple answer to your query.

_Rei_ said: "...I think you should get a message to say why if a thread of yours gets deleted. What do you all think?"

I think this isn't a very feasible request. As DirtySyko stated, "I definitely don't want to leave a message each time I delete some crap thread." It would be a lot of work for them to send every fucktard a message saying why their post was deleted. However, if you're curious, you could always send them a message and ask why, if you're truly confused.

Just my two cents worth

Maybe creating stupid threads is a stupid idea in the first place. =/

Aww, you missed your chance to do something cool with your 1337. post!

And I agree with you. If your thread gets deleted, the thread was obviously fucking stupid. TEH EDN.

On a forum I moderate, whenever a thread or post is deleted, a message saying the username of the author who made the post/thread, followed by "This post has been deleted by [mod] for this reason: [state reason here])". It's handy, but can make a forum messy if you have a lot of deleted threads/posts on the same page. That's when you merge the deleted posts.

But that ain't how the NG BBS flows.
