Thanks, I did edit my post to include an explanation a few minutes after posting the image but perhaps it had already been removed at that point. They've reinstated it now though so all good. Just to note, I've received messages that it's now been reinstated but I never received a message about the original removal. Thanks

If the issue is resolved, why don't you close the topic.

P.S. Question about messages: if a topic is deleted, the author of the topic and everyone who commented there do NOT get messages about the topic being deleted. The message comes only when any post is deleted from the topic.

When I go your thread all I saw is that an image and a few words there, I think you should have enough text or words to put it on next time you post a thread to prevent this kind of situations cause if you post only an image without any text or explanation what's the image all about it considered a as a spam thread and we all know that spam or low value thread will be deleted or transfer it to other boards by mods.

I think it was deleted because someone reported it and it's against the forum rules under this "1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e]" so it's considered as a spam like the other said above.

And the thread should not be posted on Bitcoin discussion since it's a puzzle it's related to a game so it should be in Games and rounds.
I think it's just moved and it's not accessable to many but to only a certain admin or mod can access it and so far, I can see the thread already.

Yesterday I posted a sequel to my 2017 bitcoin privkey puzzle ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/solve-these-puzzles-for-btc-private-keys-current-prize-0005-btc-2145129 ) but the new one ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/retrendo-bitcointainment-system-00005-btc-cryptopuzzle-created-by-ederoth-5398051 ) seems to have been removed. I haven't been messaged about the removal though. What are my next steps to get it back up? I spent a good while making it and a number of users enjoyed my old one. Thanks

I can't understand what we're talking about? Your topic is in place. Moreover, you edited it after the creation of this topic. So what exactly is your complaint?

Or I don't understand something?
Op is complaining why the second thread he posted cannot be accessed to any forum user but a certain mod or admin got it back where op posted the thread. I really don't get it why you didn't understand or get what op wanted to express but I think once you re-read the op then you'll finally get it. You can check the links that op provided and you'll see that you can open it right now but before that op can't even open it even though op did post that, it is why op ask if it's deleted since op didn't receive any message if it's deleted or not.


I think this could be the case of bot wrongly detecting your post as spam (or moderator mistake), so I would suggest that you always add some text along with uploaded images in future.
You should also think about moving this kind of content in different section, because Bitcoin Discussion board is sadly full of junk currently, so maybe moving it to Gambling or something like that will get more audience for puzzles stuff like this.
or it could be moved to Beginners and Help since there are threads there about puzzles but not rewarding BTC but for merit but it still a puzzle.

From reading the comments about the situation and people's takes on it, I would venture to say that you have 3 choices moving forward.

1) You could repost your post in the appropriate section like should have been done in the first place (as it is my understanding this is the reason for the removal of your post).

2) You could continue this thread and demand an explanation from the moderator that removed your post, hoping that it was due to some sort of oversight or quick judgement and that they're willing to restore the post to satisfy you.

3) You could not care and go about your day.

#3 is by far the best option unless you feel your post was content that needs to be seen by this community, at which point #1 seems to be a good option.  #2 seems like a complete waste of time, as I think your question has been answered already in this thread.

Take care!

Seems the possibility to retrieve deleted/removed posts and the no notification/message receive, I guess the thread wasn't deleted, just moved to some board only mods can see and retrieve (correct me if im wrong though).
Yes. The thread would have been moved to trashcan upon which there would be no notification that the thread was deleted. Threads are moved there for this particular situation as it is possible to reinstate threads which are moved there, but only certain mods or the admin have this ability, IIRC.

Yeah, I can see it now too, mods probably see this thread of your and think it was a mistake from their end.

Now you can lock this thread since it's been solve now or wait a bit later for the mod to explain what happened to your thread.

Here's the archive of the thread https://ninjastic.space/topic/5398051

There's nothing on the content but an image only, probably it was considered as spam or off topic. Mod deleting a thread comes a message to the OP of the reasons, it should be on your messages.
