Was it within your last hundred posts, if so you can do what I do and go here to find it? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=drafts
Drafts only save a week's work, its limited only to hundred. I suppose that product id could be mistaken for profile id or something similar, although they could see that it was bitmain and they don't often give out referral links.
Its a possibility, but maybe someone reported it?Hilariousandco might be able to shed some light on who deleted it. Although I doubt the actual moderator will come. I think it won't be gmaxwell as he moderates the alternative clients section quite well. Could be one of the other two though...
It's not strict moderation, it's deleting most of the posts at this rate!
Hilariousandco won't be able to tell,AFAIK. Last time when something had happened in the mining section, theymos said it wasn't -ck, nor Frodocropper.

I remember the topic, I was the one who pointed you to the other thread; along with the backstory on the other topics.

How is my thread similar to theirs?
Asking how a liquid cooling radiator could be applied to an antminer s9 hydro is similar to a general enquirey/announcement of the miner - hmmm?
I'm going to just have to find something else to do with an abundance of free electricity because clearly no one's interested in helping aspiring miners to start...
We wanted a decentralised currency but for some reason we forget that...
) In that case I guess - the explanation from Jet Cash had a point.
