where did my thread go?

POSTED BY: steviep23 11 months, 1 day ago

i posted a thread earlier explaining the problems i was having with a pay as you go phone i bought from orange.
i felt it was an informative post explaining what had happened myself and what i was informed was now the norm regarding the purchase of mobile phones from orange.
several people replied to the thread and said they found it useful and said they experienced similar problems and now understood why.
unfortuantly a lot of other posters didnt take the time nor inclanation to try to understand what i was saying and basically asked for the post to be removed with no reasoning as to why.
i posted the thread in the deals forum under the "tip" heading as i couldnt see where else to put it.
i come home a few hours later to see my post has been removed and no explanation given to me as why.
i put a fair amount of my time into writing the post out and everything written in it was factual and exactly as was pointed out to me from a manager at orange customer service.
i would like to now why my thread was removed.

I think it was posted in the wrong Forum.
Re-post it here in the Misc Forum:-

You should have been PM'd by the Mod that removed it but some times they forget etc.

Sorry I didn't PM you earlier steviep23 [as above ^ busy, forgot].

I don't know if you are aware of the merchant you posted it under, but the website it pointed to isn't the real Orange Shop. I think that's one reason why it received some negative feedback too.

We'll move the thread shortly, with the incorrect merchant's link removed.

Better to PM a MOD or Admin to know a reason if you havent been told why.

Edi is right. The mods are in constant communication with one another these days with a log of what we've all said too, so if you do need to know why your thread was removed in most cases you can ask any mod and they can tell you, even if it wasn't them who removed it.

Because we're all nice and helpful and organised like that...

That's handy to know, because the Moderator that removed it may not be online.

Yup. Of course, there are cases where we independantly move stuff about but in the majority of cases it's been mentioned.

Very early this morning, I posted a deal which I thought was worthy of a post, for Huggies baby wipes. I have just looked for it and it seems to have gone, can a moderator tell me if this is the case and why it would have been deleted???

It may have been deleted because it had already been posted.
Have a look at the link to see if your post was the same as one already posted:-

Sometimes posts are moved for checking, I expect the checks just took longer than usual Bristo, Sorry about that.
