What happened to my post?

So, regarding that thread about snacks that won't ruin your waistline... I actually started a discussion, but now for some reason, it's vanished into thin air.

Wait, which PDF are we talking about? Could you drop a link to the thread? Also, when was this originally posted?

Food and dining...

Digging up a thread from 2003 and quoting a post from back then that has absolutely zero connection to the current topic... even an American grammar checker would flag that as blatant trolling.&Co.

The moderators here really missed a beat by just deleting the post without handing out an appropriate "reward" for that kind of behavior on the forum.

The higher-ups in administration have access to all the documentation, so if the relevant authorities insist, we can definitely add a strike to someone's record retroactively—I honestly wouldn't mind.

Usually, when I see posts like this that don't make sense or contribute anything constructive to the discussion, I just wipe them out along with any replies that pile onto them. But, hey, if Chloe2 insists, then from here on out (at least for her, since she's clearly the only one complaining about this "mild" style of moderation), I might start handing out formal strikes, even though that’s not really my favorite way to handle things.

I honestly didn't realize you were interpreting that as trolling. I was being genuinely sincere. I actually held out hope that some other user might chime in with an answer, and besides, half the threads on this forum barely relate to the original post anyway.

I have no idea why you're threatening me with a ban, because I truly didn't mean anything by it; if my harmless little question managed to offend you in some way, then fine, I apologize.

Thanks for the charmingly rude response, though. I’ll make sure to ask in a thread where it isn't considered off-topic, and I really hope you won't hold it against me if the only relevant discussion I can find happens to be an old one.
