Isn't it the moderators who decide what gets deleted? And, I don't know how things work on this forum, I haven't been here that long, but is it possible that the moderator read the post on their own and made the decision? I am not saying this is the case or making a judgment about your posts-I don't know what was written-just wondering if maybe it wasn't a member at all. I agree with A Red Panda, that because it's a public forum and all the members can post on a thread, any of the members can be offended by a post, not just the creator of the thread. If someone reports a post and they are taking something personally because of their own stuff I would think a moderator would come to that conclusion and, as an unbiased party, make the correct decision. I would imagine that's how it works, but again, I am pretty new here.
