Question

Explanations are a must.

Why are there no explanations given when posts are deleted?

I had a non offensive post that was reported and deleted with no explanation as to why. I have been told by another poster that it may have been a bug within the forum regarding the last posting times, etc. It would be nice to know if this were the case or if someone had their panties in a wad.

    Any chance yours might have been the 51st message in the thread? Or 101, 151, 201, etc? If so, it may take (up to six?) more replies to that thread for the next page of replies to be available. I have only seen it once, but have heard of this happening before.

    NOPE:

    This the the thread:

    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/445796?tstart=0

    My post was in response to Jehzeel (which happens to be this person's 1st post). All I said was "Is this a joke?"

    Seriously the person didn't have PS, how in the world can they install it (sure they could download the trial but that's not what this person said). And of course this person is awarded mythical points for a "helpful" answer...too bad the moderators can't delete the ignorate points when awarded to stupid answers.

    I seriously think that whomever deleted that post has some issues. It's not a big deal, but it's the fact that a certain long time poster can go back and forth with many people on here and his posts seemingly never get deleted, yet my totally harmless post is deleted.

    You'll find that it all depends on whether the person with admin powers considers himself to be a host, a traffic cop or a forum bouncer.

    I agree. Users should not have to start guessing why a given thread has been closed. Although in some cases the causes may be obvious, there are many in which they are far from obvious.
