posts dissapearing

[Davros]

I have had 2 posts now disappear, there hasnt been any message deleted by admin so I don't think that's why they've gone.
I can give more details if needed

*hint*hint* you got mod slapped!

 

[homerdog]

You haven't been fishing in the console forum again have you?

*hint*hint* you got mod slapped!

does the emoticon indicate your joking ? its not the standard
there was no post deleted by moderator message
one of my posts was slightly ot (i asked if someone could explain polymorhism to me)
but the other was perfectly legit
swayee said "farcry 4 stutters unless you edit config.cfg"
to which I replied "I dont have a config.cfg file" there is no reason to delete that

 

[London Geezer]

Yes I was joking. Cause even after devoting half of my life to this board, I am not a mod! Poor me! Victim mode ON.

 

[Davros]

But on the bright side you do have a pink emoticon...

edit: there seems to be no way to delete posts

 

[London Geezer]

You clearly have an issue with DP though, first Disappearing Posts and now a nice Double Post.

 

[Davros]

Lets hope I dont have another issue I dread to think what the next DP will stand for

*cha-ching!* LOL.

More on topic: I haven't experienced this, I think. Not to my knowledge anyway. Maybe your posts were moved into a spin-off thread? I'm not sure, but I don't think that spawns a notification of some sort.

Should that happen, I can't imagine the power struggle fights between Shifty and LB.

To be honest I'd just spend the whole day correcting everyone's grammar on here. Its/it's, there/their/they're and so much more. Drives me mad.

Same here, so I support your promotion.

I for one hate the systematic use of 's for plurals.CPU's, GPU's..

It's people's understanding of ommision and possession with apostrophes that really bothers me; "it's" is not possessive!

And yeah, as the poster above states, plural acronyms using apostrophes winds me up no end. The number of people that do that at work is very frustrating, I have to get out my punctuation stick and hit them with it.

I support LB's promotion to grammar police! Give him his own badge.

I'd argue that one's debatable. Considering the acronyms should all be dotted anyway - C.P.U. - clearly the punctutation guidelines are in a state of flux. Affording the apostrophe an extra role for appending onto acronyms is a perfectly acceptable evolution IMO.
