WHY was my previous post DELEATED?

WHY was my previous post DELEATED?

Due to incorrect spelling?

DID you mean DEFEATED?

Could have meant DEMEATED, nice urban word.

May be you just went as far as preview and didn't actually commit it to the forum?

Deleted posts usually still show, with a body that says (Deleted). This sounds more like a post that was never completed in the first place.

We’ve all done it.

(Could have been deleted because of shouting, but I doubt it.)

I'm wondering why he asked here, when TTTS or team@ are the obvious choices. Preferably the latter.

Edit: Over 4200 posts in 15 years.

I've done that many times over the years, but there have been a couple of times I'm sure I clicked on the [continue] second time to commit to posting but post never showed up.
A deleted post however seems to still show just the content replaced by 'deleted'.

Doesn't the automatic spam coding remove the entire post and if its the only post in the thread remove the existence of the thread as well?

It could be, but then 'we' wouldn't see anything and wouldn't know unless we where the instigators, I'd guess that as a new thread was started then it was a thread that was removed.
