Some of my posts keep disappearing. It's weird because my post was about how my other post disappeared and now it's gone to

Odd since the only people who can delete posts are me and thee and I haven't deleted any posts for the last couple of days.

It's weird but I'm not worried, just the persons whose thread Ipostedin loses some comments. Second time it had nothing to do with the specific posts anyways

Yeah. That's happened to me a couple of times. When I would post something in someone's thread and I would go back to see it was missing.

The "moderator" power I have in a few sections -- such as "bragging rights" and "treatment workshop" -- is sometimes used to delete other people's posts.  I do that when the posts are off topic, but I usually wait until the off topic post had a chance to elicit a responce from the other people who post in that thread.  Because if something off topic starts a conversation, I don't want to mess with that conversation until AFTER that conversation has reached a conclusion.  When it seems as if that off topic conversation is over, I come back a while later, and delete that entire conversation so that the thread can be on topic again; that way, new members can understand what's going on, and they'll be encouraged to post on topic, rather than continuing a settled conversation that should have been in a different thread.
