i posted earlier today in someones 10,000th post thread and it isnt in my forums anymore. i also saw that fobot and lolawiz posted in it, and i even searched for threads they posted in today and didnt find this particular thread. i dont remember what it was called or who the OP was, but why is it gone? are 10,000th posts not allowed anymore?

-------------------------------------------------------
Posts themselves are not deleted unless there is a justifiable reason.

Threads that are related to milestones are removed.

it still seems strange to me that a very tame lifer post would be deleted. he posted something like "ive been here for a while...i reflected on what has changed since then...etc." and it was actually a discussion. i guess it just seems stupid to me that it would be deleted instead of half of the crap posted in OT every day.
 
I know what you are saying and remember reading the post. I thought there was good information being passed about too, but evidently a Mod didn't.

When were they allowed?

i didnt think they were actually "allowed" but it seemed like an unwritten rule that people did it and "got away with it" simply because it was 10k. im not posting here to complain about it or anything...i just wanted to know if that is actually what happened.
 
The mods deleted my post in FS/FT where I was selling my postcount for $0.02 per post. 🙁



We felt it was a bad deal. You never post anything of any substance thus your posts have no value.

It really isn't a big deal. I just thought I would try and post something insightful for my 10000th post. If the mods thought it should be deleted that is certainly their prerogative. Though I would of been nicer to lock it and let it be archived it doesn't bother me any that it is gone. 🙂

you could have probably got away with posting something that never mentioned the 10,000 post directly and then just added Yippeee!!! to the end of your thread.....
 
I posted my 10,000th post about my holiday to Banff last year, with pics of the fun/scenery, said thanx for AT for being awesome in acknowledgement of the fact it was post 10K, & a few days later, the post was gone.

Quite remarkable how a good intentioned post = delete-worthy, but all the other spam in OT = welcome :roll:

I don't see a problem with that. You need to make backup.
