I’m looking to what happened to To foreigners (non-Americans), is respect for the USA dead? post (posted here about a day ago), mostly out of curiosity. I assume it was deleted (by an admin?) but can’t see anything in modlog. Could it be deleted by author and that’s why it isn’t listed in modlog or anywhere else?
Probably the auther changed their mind. Maybe because they thought it wasn’t a good question after all. Maybe they didn’t like the comments. You’d have to ask the author, if you still have the post loaded somewhere.
Basically, if author deletes the post, then this action isn’t visible anywhere and post is just missing?
I’m not sure about the technicallities, but yes, that’s my experience. Yesterday I had someone delete a post while I was commenting on it and when I pressed send, it gave an error. I could still see the post, because I had it loaded in my app, but when I went to look at the poster, they didn’t have it in their history anymore. I could still navigate back to the post then, but now I can’t find it anymore.
Huh, that’s strange.
I tried researching an answer, I looked around the entire instance.
It was until I stumbled upon the side bar and found, you won’t believe this - the rules.
Wooooooaaaaaahhhh! So I read these rules and the plausibility was right there. Like in Rule 2. My god, I’ve solved a mystery!
