Threads gone

Several threads that I've responded to have mysteriously disappeared.

Does the originator of a thread have the ability to remove the entire thread?

Is someone trying to tell me to go away, or is this merely a technical issue?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, the creator of a thread can delete it entirely.

If I remember correctly your thread contained what looked like advertising. Admin most likely deleted them.

If you have a question about your TOS, please ask, but we will not review it for you and we don't appreciate the plugging of another forum on ours.

There must be some huge misunderstanding going on, and it's still going on, because every time I respond to any thread (I did not start any of these threads, I've just posted replies to help the original posters out) in the consumer bankruptcy forum the entire thread is removed.

I can't even begin to speculate on what might be seen as "plugging" anything. I haven't posted any links, mentioned any other forums, products, or any such thing. Nor would I. I have absolutely nothing to "plug."

The only similarity that I can see in all of my responses is that I'm making a disclaimer that "I am not an attorney of any kind but simply an individual who has been through a similar situation."

Is this what is somehow getting me into trouble? If so, why? I read the TOS and forum rules very carefully.

Please let me know. I do not understand what the issue is.

I'm sorry Alex, I thought you were the poster who was asking us to review your own TOS that you were going to use in a forum. I must have gotten you confused with another Alex.

I don't normally post in the BK forum.

Well, something is going on, because every thread that I respond to in that forum is removed. I can't believe that in every single case the original poster came back and removed the thread.

well, i do remember a few instances where a few threads had gone completely haywire that Admin deleted them.


quite a few posters delete their posts as well.

then there was one nutcase that was just posting up a storm on quite a few threads and they had to be locked and/or deleted.

Well, indeed I was scolded on my first day here for starting too many threads. I read the TOS and rules carefully and didn't see where that would have been a problem. However, since it was a senior member who pointed it out to me, I apologized and said I wouldn't start any more threads, and didn't (except for this one).

I felt that I had a really learned a lot and even got some valuable information by reading these forums. I have very little legal experience myself (which is why I came here in the first place) but having been through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the past, it's the one thing I do actually know something about - just from personal experience.

I felt it only fair that I "give back" or contribute, so my responses in the consumer bankruptcy forum were honest answers/advice, and to the point. I responded to the original posters' questions.

If it was just one or two times that the threads disappeared, I'd think it was just a technical glitch, or even possibly the original posters' removing their threads, but it occurs every single time I respond to a thread in that forum.

It could still be a technical issue, I'm sure, but if I'm really doing something wrong then I would like to know what it is.

Thanks.

You also necroposted. In some of those cases, your post might have been reported since it didn't add any value to resurrecting an old thread. Removing your post allowed the thread returned to its original last post date.

If you follow this link you'll find four threads in the Consumer Bankruptcy forum, to which you have posted, that have not been removed:

No. These were new threads started on the day I responded.

I know which thread you're referring to, and yes that was my mistake for not seeing the thread was a month old, but that was not in the forum in question. I'm specifically referring to the consumer bankruptcy forum. The issue is not occurring on any other forum, that I have seen.

If you can see them and I can't, then something VERY weird must be going on.
Do you have any ideas of what I can check?

Thanks for the help.
