Is the forum losing threads?!?!

I'm positive I commented on a request for comments for a cool addition for dynamically scrubbing through, modifying and viewing scheduled works in Blender. I left some brief comments just about the demo video, and now the thread seems to have vanished.
So either the forum is corrupting things, the OP deleted the thread, or I'm hallucinating threads, and videos.

  • Have you tried searching using an external search engine? The current built in search is terrible and I struggle to find things even though they exist.

    On occasion we detect that a user is actually an AI spambot who is hiding malicious links, and that causes that thread to be nuked. Sometimes, comments get witheld for spam moderation (using Akismet) and need approval.

  • It was a thread posted yesterday, and I commented on it yesterday too. It disappeared, but it has now reappeared.
    In the period it was MIA the thread was missing from the list on the main page. Even looking under my own posts in my profile my comment was missing.
    Very strange. I'll keep an eye in case it happens again.

  • Yes. I also saw that. This one: https://community.osarch.org/discussion/comment/26695#Comment_26695
    Was yesterday not available but now it is available.
    Cheers!

  • In that case I think it was Akismet flagging things as potential spam. Akismet sometimes gets things wrong, but at least it also catches things which are truly botspam. In this case it probably flagged the OP and so the entire thread disappeared whilst it was approved as not spam.

  • With android and firefox, best experience / sarcasm off

    Yeah, I mentioned that behaviour in the chat channel last night (Stephen Boddy)
