You guys are being censored here

[NewMine]

I didn't do it.
@newmine can you create this thread again and we will continue discussion?

I didn't create the original thread. I just responded to Empirical1.2's comment. When I came here to find the thread and see what comments took place next, my comment was gone from my history. I searched for Empiricals comment and gone too.

I just thought it would be funny if "if" someone was deleting threads and posts while all the theymos accusation of censorship are going on in the BTC community over XT.

It seems that Bitcoinjesus2.0 deleted the thread, so apparently we are being censored by BJ2.

There was a thread that started with "The most important thing Bitshares...." has been deleted because it possessed posts that questioned CNX's ability to stay true to Bitshares. I only know this because my last post was a response to a well written post by Empirical1.2. I couldn't find my post or his and decided to search my history where I found the link to the thread here https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,17994.0.html
And it has been completely removed.

Same ID, 17944; looks like he was OP and deleted it?

oh admins got an advanced log, that's nice. I think an admin should post a weekly screenshot of this log, for transparency's sake

[emailtooaj]

, or we should ask OP if he/she did something. who was the OP?

If I recall correctly bitcoinjesus2.0 may have been OP.  ??

If memory serves correctly, this is ^^^^^
just to be clear... I'm not accusing them for deleting the thread.

On a separate note, it's probably a good idea for the community to audit all of the mods/admins of the forum, because I doubt anyone has reviewed them in a long time.

Here all all the admins:

[bytemaster]

I certainly didn't do it.

[xeroc]

Afaik .. ops cannot remove threads if there are replies ..

[Xeldal]

, or we should ask OP if he/she did something. who was the OP?

[bulletproof]

dunno - any idea @newmine/anyone else?

As this topic is on the Meta board, could someone please explain in general exactly who has the ability to delete whole threads (moderators + thread originator)? and perhaps from a moderator's point of view why this would be done in practice - i.e. a whole thread and not, for example, a particular piece of offensive content?

General is moderated by global mods and admins, there's no board mod. so either one of us deleted the thread by mistake I guess, or we should ask OP if he/she did something. who was the OP?

As the OP says, regardless of actual intent, this could be perceived as censorship and surely ought to be a last resort on an open forum.

unfortunately, deleted threads don't pop up in the moderations log.
