I've had several posts in the last few days be deleted, most of which were completely relevant. Whoever keeps doing it, what's the reasoning?

No lol . . . I just realized a reply I had on the Trivia thread was deleted, and I had seen another gone this morning.

I've been noticing this often too. For instance, on my Volume I thread under Area Development, Sarah's reply was deleted approximately 24 hours after she posted it. She then had to re-post it.
I highly doubt this is a bug on the boards. Someone with mod rights is probably responsible for it.
Which if this is the case, this is wrong. Like Autek said, the posts I've seen deleted have been nothing but relavant and insightful.

I admit that it is nice to be told the reasons for a post deletion in one way or another, as the reasons are not always obvious, but staff do not have an obligation to give such a reason unfortunately. Just be careful though about re-posting a deleted reply, because if it is being deleted by a moderator, they may be a little less friendly the second time around.

I think they should have an obligation to give a reason. How else can we prevent it from happening the next time if we aren't told what we did wrong?
Regardless, there was nothing in my post that would've been grounds for deletion.

Simply by clicking on the members name, and scrolling down to send message would be helpful.
"Hey Walt, your post on why black bears are to overpowered is irrelevant, because black bears are very suitable for training that level character on." It would only take a mear 15 seconds, and allows the poster to learn from his/her mistakes.
Blatent disregaurd for the forum tos need no explaining though.

I would ask myself why, but even I do not know everything.

I delete posts when they are ill-informed or post opinions that state things incorrectly---but only when they appear to take a slant at people or sysops.
Other than that---just posts that are not relavent to the topics.
Not sure what happend to your posts though.
I do not see any recently deleted in the Forum Trash Can, which is where they go when posts are deleted.
However, if they were the posts where you say "Hire so and so" as staff---those are often deleted to prevent random 'YA! Hire my friend tommY!"---etc, when we've said over and over that we're against new sysops.
Topics that are not directly under hiring staff don't need votes for people to be hired on---it gets things too personal and off-topic.

Wisdom is the principle thing. Therefore, get wisdom, and in all your getting, get understanding.
