A few of my recent forum replies (and everything else tied to it, such as notifications) got deleted without a warning. Is there any reason for that?
The post from where my replies were deleted is: What classes do you not play?
From what I can see, this is the only post you have made for 4 days on this characterā¦ did you post them on this same char (liljon) or a different character? The forums are character specific in regards to notifications.
I have posted them on this toon, yes. Iāve made two quite lenghty posts under that topic. I also didnāt change my forum character ever since Classic has been out. As I said, everything tied to my comments were deleted, even notifications about people liking my comment.
Probably fell afoul of the automated anti-spam filters. Often happens.
Thatād be a firstā¦ How does that work exactly? My comments have been up for at least a few hours before deletion.
Maybe your comment was against the rules?
Iām 100% sure it wasnāt against the rules as well. I made sure I censored all profanity. The only thing I can imagine that āmight have been against the rulesā is a point I made about writing long feedback posts: a lot of people just cba to be longmen, so they want posts to be tl;dr-d, to which I said that that is the core of the problem, as Blizzard canāt understand / grasp how to construct the class (was talking about Paladins while making the point) BECAUSE they donāt understand / know even the smallest of details. I can imagine a salty dev deleting my posts to be a possibility (I ripped into the game heavily in my two replies under the post), but that would be the last of my assumptions, as they seem to barely read anything the players say - or when they do, they pretty much always get the wrong message. But even if it was an actual dev who deleted it, wouldnāt I get notifications about it? Or even normally.
There you go, itās called masking and itās against the rules, no honestly, it really is. Personally I never use them any more, I can think of other words to express my thoughts. Missing out the u, c or an i in a word still shows the meaning of the word.
Also I think I remember the posts, some where close to the knuckle.

Oh wow, it is. Strange. I never really had an issue with this before. I guess I got lucky that my older posts did not get deleted as a result of this.
Iām having same happening, dozens of long detailed posts got wiped without a trace, no notification or anything, in this thread - (https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/is-there-a-way-to-win-vs-rdruid-dps/311949). I have no idea how and why and Iāll probably leave forums unless they restore that and somehow prevent from happening, because whatās even a point? Or I need to backup anything into text file just in case and keep reposting after deletion so that people could see them?
Whatās funny is that actually toxic posts are kept intact, itās like some of those toxic posters have moderation rights (because of trust level?). What a bs.
Posting in a thread from November 2019 is not going to helpā¦
Looking through that thread I can see stuff that should be moderated and isnātā¦ Obviously I cannot see the deleted posts but considering there are post where you make reference to the size of your genitalia, if the deleted ones are like that, well then you know why they were deleted.
I can assure you that only Blue posters (Blizzard forum staff) have moderation rights. As an MVP I have the highest trust level that any player can obtain and I do not have the ability to moderate ANY post or thread.
If you have feedback about forum moderation you can email CMTeamEU-WoW@blizzard.com

No, deleted ones contained just description of my build, itās pros and cons, why I use those addons and not others, etc.
Well, maybe thereās some bugged automated āanti-spamā system then, and I donāt know whatās worse.
If itās deleted it may not be because of what you said but how you said it.
By your guild name I can see a reason why you may have been moderated, itās highly inappropriate. You need to report it yourself and get it changed.
