If they were deleted you should be getting a private message with a reason saying why.
And Moderators only delete things which are out of the forum rules, no other reason.
I always look at my post count from time to time and I see a difference.
Maybe you post a lot of stuff that's not directly appropriate for the thread i.e off topic, spam etc
If so, I should be alerted ?
Maybe it is threads being deleted (which you have posted in). If you're not the thread starter then you don't get a private message. This might be the cause of your post count going down and without having a private message. I don't know for sure but it could be.
IDK somehow I prefer sending an auto PM aler for every post deletion that's all I'm asking.
MentaL made some tweaks to the database a few weeks ago. Every single user lost some post count.
I lost around 400 and I think MentaL lost about 3000 posts himself.
Nothing strange or aimed at you personally. It was simply a result of a database tweak.
Our current post counts are the true reflection of our posts.
The automated message for post deletion is not functional at the moment.
It's not feasible to send a PM to every user for every post deleted.
Some moderators delete more than 100 posts per day.
If you have a concern about specific posts you made, please let me know and I will investigate.
I never get one however I get new post quotes in Deleted Posts... sometimes lol.Quote:

If you can't see deleted posts there, then you are out of luck.
I can assure you that posts will never be deleted without good reason.
can we please just remove post count visibility to non staff members
Some people live for that number, hiding it would cause an outbreak.
Don't some sections auto prune themselves? Could account for the lost posts....
If you're annoyed by your post being deleted, maybe you should be more constructive when creating them? I'm just saying, I moderate some of the sections you're actively contributing on, and probably 80% of your posts are on the edge. Either they lack proper reasoning, or it's spam, off topic, or it simply looks like a post you made to increase your post count.
Nevertheless, putting you aside and looking at the suggestion alone, it's actually a fair suggestion. I think members have the right to know what posts of theirs have been deleted and why. This might also help them understand the rules and guidelines for that section. But I thought we already had a system like that.
