I am not really sure where to post this. O’club or here? It is a request for help, so I guess “Help and Support Forums » Help and Training” is correct.
This is a real question. I have been following a topic that I find it entertaining and once in a while informative.
I just saw that someone had had their post scrubbed out with a rule #14 violation. OK, maybe a bit over the top, but, at the end of the day, it is not my call. What is interesting, however, is that someone else had a post that, in parts, (IMO) sort of went way over the top – it would have not surprised me if it too got scrubbed with a rule #14 violation, but the post is completely GONE.
Questions:
Do monitors sometimes just wipe out a post without an explanation/trace?
Can a poster delete his/her post so there is no trace of it? If so is there a time limit?
Or, perhaps, another way to state it:
What is the most likely explanation for a post to vanish?
thanks in advance

It's quite rare, but has happened before.

No, we can't. We can just edit it for some time (don't know exact duration, maby an hour or so)

It belonged in an alternate universe and was helped along it's way.

HTC has given the board members quite a bit of freedom and any correction action I have seen them take needed to be done.

No no, I was not saying that it was right or wrong, I was asking what is possible or what is the practice.
That said, when I originally posted the question, (as a reply within the topic that I thought I saw this "vanishing" in), my post got cut with a rule 2. "2- Threads should remain on topic, do not "hijack" topics. ". Within that original post/question I said something to the affect that one possibility was that I was mistaken about where I saw this "vanished" post. And in fact, I just realized that post was somewhere else, and yes, it got rule 14 struck. :o

From the forum posting rules:
"Posts and threads may be edited, deleted, or locked for violations of these rules. Continued or blatant violation of these rules may result in a temporary or permanent ban."
We are not selective about the edit. If any portion violates the forum posting rules, the entire post is excised. Trying to edit a post can result in taking the post completely out of the context it was meant to be in.

I did read and understand that in the original post. It was my bad throwing in a comment that did not follow the thread. :aok
