feeling pissed

Post Reply New Topic

I don't like it when I post things and they disappear. When I hit submit and get the successful message, I expect to see my post appear within the next few minutes, at least ten minutes, but to just vanish after I spend time concentrating on the composition of what I want to say and have it evaporate into thin air just enrages me. Then I see people talking about posts being "screened", I go from enraged to infuriated. If moderators are screening and or deleting posts at least have the common courtesy to message members and offer an explanation.

We are ignored and belittled by society as it is, we should not be minimized in a forum that is supposed to be set up as a support mechanism for us.

Don't know why your post was moved. I've restored it.

I posted three things/comments yesterday/early this morning that I cannot find at all. Nothing to do with being moved. Its like they evaporated as soon as I received the message saying my post was successful.

I've had a couple of posts accidentally deleted as well.

Yea, that's weird. There have been a couple threads I came back to recently thinking I posted in them only the find I apparently hadn't. Figured I must of just x'd out of them before pressing enter but maybe they're disappearing.

I signed up for the first time a few months ago. My first post was about what I should get for my autistic friend's birthday. Then it got removed and I got banned.

Actually, your posts may not be "evaporating". When you post and you are taken to another page, have you scrolled-down to see whether it ACTUALLY says: "Your post has been entered successfully"?? If you're not scrolling-down, it may say something like: "At least one person has posted since you viewed the thread, do you still want to post??" If you don't, then, push "Submit", AGAIN, your post will NEVER appear.

Yep, this, I've had a few disappear because of that.

I like that feature it just took me a few times to get in the habit of checking for it.

Hmmm, I've had some odd things happen like this. I've pressed the submit button only to have nothing happen. I just assumed I pressed the preview button by mistake.

Or, you could be hitting "Save Draft". If I hit "Save Draft", or "New Topic" one more time, I'm gonna lose my mind!!
