Topic: Lost a Post and Lost my Status! (Read 155 times)
Sounds good. Thank you for the quick explanations. As suggested, I will [try to] lock this thread.
To add to Bitmover's explanation, if you didn't get notified about it with a personal message, then the most likely explanation is that a whole thread that you posted in was thrown in the trashcan by a mod.
... under what circumstances does a user's post count decrease? I didn't delete anything myself that I am aware of. Was there maybe something removed by a moderator, or maybe an entire thread that I had posted in was deleted and I was docked as a result?
Those you have mentioned are the reason.
Anyways, you should rank up by now.
You can lock this thread now.
No big deal. I'm just wondering out of curiosity - under what circumstances does a user's post count decrease? I didn't delete anything myself that I am aware of. Was there maybe something removed by a moderator, or maybe an entire thread that I had posted in was deleted and I was docked as a result?
As I said, it's not a big deal. This post should bump me back up in status either way.

When a moderator deletes your post. Usually he does that when you post in megathreads, or post something useless. Everyone has his own posts deleted sometime.
I have not been here in a few weeks or more - busy with other things. I had exactly 60 posts and enough merit that I was a bona-fide Member! I came over today to look for something specific and was going to scroll back through some of my prior posts to try to find it. On my profile summary I saw that I was only credited with 59 posts! One of them disappeared and I don't know when, how, or why! So that's also when I saw :::GASP::: that I was demoted to a Jr. Member! (Oh the horror!)
