Posts vanishing? Bug in forum code?

Tavore1138 · September 2017

I ask because if this is not a but then ZOS may have a rogue moderator. If it is then something probably needs to be done.

I have had 2 posts that I am aware of vanish in the last couple of weeks - in both cases the thread remains, I have no been notified of any violation of any rules in what I have posted and there is no moderator comment on the thread about any posts having been edited or removed. In both cases the posts have been mildly critical but politely phrased and well within the TOS.

I have a screenshot of one of these posts because I happened to still have the page open on my ipad after I noticed it was gone (which is good because otherwise I'd be doubting my sanity).

I see the possibilities are as follows:

- There is a bug in the forums that is losing posts at random (so if anyone else has seen this then please reply).
- There is a moderator who does not know what they are doing and needs to be trained up a bit.
- The only other possibility is rather unpleasant and I won't list it out here.,

Thanks for the fast reply. I have responded. No issues if you want to close the thread while you look into it.

I have noticed a few posts moved and they forgot a redirect.
Grain of salt that they just clicked the wrong choice on the mod menu.

The threads are still there just with missing posts but it could still be something along those lines - maybe something that changed in the last forum code update and behaves slightly differently. If so hopefully this will highlight that.
