I wrote a homework thread about Time Dilation, which followed the rules. It was deleted and no reason was given. Why?

If your post is deleted for this reason, the mentor will also send a warning or infraction notification to you by private message (PM).
No such notification was sent.

I don't see any deleted thread in your records.

Hmmm it appears to have fallen into a black hole! Feel free to post it again. Sorry about that.
 
There was another post in the calculus HW section ("How to prove square root of x isn't a rational function?") which disappeared as I finished writing a reply to it. I didn't see anything wrong with the question, so I doubt that it was deleted by a mentor. Perhaps the OP deleted it, or perhaps it fell into the same black hole. Just thought I would mention it here in case it will help with any technical troubleshooting. Here's the broken link, taken from my browser history:

Yes, it appears to have fallen in a black hole too :confused:
 
I have experienced similar losses on the forum. I lost a thread I wrote in the intro phys forum an hour or two ago. It was titled "Electric Field, Half Circle" I believe (perhaps it will help).

Sorry i have the same problem as well. I asked a question on textbook suggestion on about 5th July and it disappeared with no reason given. I searched all over the web for suggestion first and I cannot find it. I made sure about doing this first. Then I ask for suggestion on physicsforums and for help. Thank you very much and I really appreciate the helps given by physicsforums.

Trying reposting it. Remember, if it was deleted by a mentor you'd receive a PM outlining the reason(s) for its deletion.

I think those threads were used to make that damn spider web in the wormhole. No wonder I could never find Evo.
