Title: thread disappeared
Post by: JordanBlue on November 20, 2013, 10:28:00 PM
I was posting in a thread titled:
"if you're considering suicide, don't do it"
Now it's gone for some reason?

I'm trying to figure out if I said something wrong or what?
I'm sorry, but I don't get it.

I don't know the reason why that thread disappeared, but sometimes people delete their own threads or the mods may if it's against the site's Terms of Service. Don't feel bad, I don't think it's you, all of the original poster's posts have disappeared on the site. Sometimes people delete their posts if they want to leave or start over. :)

Well, I was wondering.  I'm new here and wanted to make sure I didn't say something out of line.

Usually you will get a message from a mod if it is something you did.

I can already tell you that it was a case of the original poster deleting all of their topics and posts.

A person who started the topic, can generally delete the topic, unless it is locked.

Well, that's a little unsettling. Hope they're ok.

Oh not really - I am sure she is OK. Might be an issue of embarassment or smth similar. I once made a bit similar thread... I was quite new to the forum and did not know about all options, so next morning, feeling very dumb, stupid and totally embarassed about what I did - I asked one of mods to delete the whole thread as it never existed. I did not know that I could have done it myself :).

The OP got upset over an insult and removed her posts.

I am trying to talk to her.

Let us use this as a reminder that we are all fragile and maybe being supportive or not saying anything if you disagree with something is far better than inflicting pain on someone.

DianaPena had only just returned after having a very serious issue and now she is frightened and troubled again.

That isn't good.

Can I reiterate that if you see a post that you feel is inappropriate please just report it to the Mods.

Please!

Cindy

How does one delete their own topic? I've tried, but never found a "delete" button (unless one considers asking a mod = delete button LOL)
