Why are my posts disappearing and how can I improve their quality?

  • Thread starter Suraj M
  • Start date
In summary, the speaker's thread on a biology forum disappeared twice and they were curious as to why. The first time, it was a thread they started in the homework-intro physics forum and the second time, it was a thread with multiple replies in the biology forum. The reason for the disappearance was due to a clean up of no reply threads with low quality content. The speaker was advised to ensure future threads are high quality and descriptive, and to pay attention to spelling and grammar errors. They also mentioned that most of their posts are direct questions and do not require additional description.

Yes, I did a clean up of no reply threads with little content a few days ago. Sorry your recent thread got caught. Make sure future threads are high quality and descriptive.

Most of my posts are direct questions(knowledge based), there's no need for any description. I shall keep it in mind next time, thank you.

1. Why was my thread deleted/dissapeared?

There could be several reasons for a thread being deleted or disappearing. It could have violated the community guidelines or terms of service, it may have been reported by other users for inappropriate content, or it may have been removed by moderators for being off-topic or irrelevant.

2. Can I retrieve a deleted/dissapeared thread?

If a thread has been deleted or disappeared, it is usually not possible to retrieve it. However, you can reach out to the moderators or administrators of the platform to inquire about the specific reason for the deletion and if there is any possibility of restoring the thread.

3. Will my thread always show up in search results, even after being deleted/dissapeared?

No, once a thread has been deleted or disappeared, it will no longer show up in search results. This is because the thread is no longer accessible to users and has been removed from the platform.

4. Can a deleted/dissapeared thread be restored by other users?

No, only moderators or administrators have the ability to restore a deleted or disappeared thread. Users do not have the ability to restore threads on their own.
