Complaint Disappearing Post about Fluid Mechanics

Click For Summary
A thread initiated by @JeroenM on fluid mechanics has disappeared, likely due to the Physics Forums AI moderation feature that hides posts meeting certain criteria. The related thread on "Modeling an Air Compressor Cylinder" remains accessible. Moderators typically review and re-approve hidden content quickly if it meets community standards. In this case, the thread was approved after no valid reasons for its initial moderation were found. The discussion highlights the effectiveness of moderation in maintaining forum content visibility.

There is a feature of the PF AI that can put a thread or post into "Moderation" (hidden) if certain criteria are satisfied. It looks like that happened with this thread, but the Mentors are usually pretty quick to check the hidden/flagged thread or post and re-approve it if it's okay. That's likely what happened with this one.

Yep, that's exactly what happened to this one. I could not see a reason for hiding it, so approved it.

Thread 'RIP Vanadium 50'

I have some solemn news to report. Many in the community had been wondering where the prolific @Vanadium 50 has been. V50 hasn't posted a message in nearly a year. After months of questioning, the mentor group dug in and did some investigation and we're confident V50 passed away early this year. Few members need reminding what kind of force @Vanadium 50 was for the community and physics. A mentor for 5+ years and an annual award winner seemingly every other year. He has a top 10 post count...
