Funny it still remains open... inviting more necroposting
There's a necropost warning, at least. Ideally, most threads should stay open and prevent redundancy with frequent use of the search feature - new questions can be directed to older topics with everchanging forum dynamics.

You mean this post in this topic? It's better to report such posts with "8 year bump" as a description than to reply, as that makes your own post off-topic.

That's the one alright.

Oh, I usually don't reply on such threads, just that I was informing Upgrade that the mods should close it.

This is a user who finds Bitcointalk with a specific question, and he gets his post deleted. I feel sympathy for this user because this is something I've done on some other forums too.
Wouldn't it have been better if a Mod would advice him to create a new topic

You got a point. Mod should at least reply that uber fella and lock it since the OP hasn't logged in since 2014.

I'm more worried about deleting uberdude522's post:

HI. are you still mining?

The OP was last active over 7 years ago, if I were you I would not hold my breath for a direct reply from them.
You can wait to see if some other user with experience of your question answers it or you could create your own thread in a more appropriate section like mining - (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=14.0)
Now Bitcointalk seems very unfriendly to this new user, and I would understand if he never returns. Unlike countless bounty spammers, this could have been a contributing user.

Well, I just had a post of mine deleted when I suggested the mods to remove it after one necroposter posted on a >5 years old thread.

It still remains.

You're overthinking this: If a post is not worth existing, a reply to that post shouldn't exist either. That's why a Mod deleted the reply too. It's not automated and won't happen if a user deletes their own post.
Yea, you are right. I just missed the point post deleted manually. I thought the post was deleted automatically upon deleting the quoted post (Lol). Just wondering how I missed it.

Anyway, everything is clear, thanks for clearing it.

@OP, you may lock the thread from lower left since you got the answer.

If this is the case then I am just curious, is it normal? Or something wrong? Or did it happen only upon reporting moderators? For example, many users staking addresses on a thread and someone quoting to keep evidence. If the case post got deleted by moderators then the quote will be deleted as well. Even the user can't remember either he had made a post here or not. I know it will not happen, just imagine a scenario. If a post is deleted by a poster, then a quote by others should appear, right? So upon hack account and delete or edit post wouldn't delete the quote.

It's easy to prevent: instead of responding to a post that isn't worth existing, report it as "insubstantial post".

Staked addresses won't be deleted by Mods. Posts in Meta are barely ever touched by Mods anyway.

One possibility is that one of the posts you quoted got deleted, because if I'm not mistaken when that happens yours gets deleted as well.

Sometimes. And it's likely that this is what happened. Obito's post is gone too.

I don't know whether you quoted it intentionally because it is multiple quote that makes it's hard to read. Sometimes, you can use multiple quote to keep up flow of discussion.

However, in most cases, it is better if you quote exactly the part you want to discuss with.

Multiple-quoted posts usually are garbage posts because posters did not care to spend a few seconds to highlight what they want to discuss with.

Would also say this is the case. Obito seems to have 100+ recently deleted posts according to the modlog and looks like he's temp-banned.

I wish there were videos on Youtube that actually criticized NFTs.
They probably exist, but it's not a big money maker so they won't get much attention.

If it got deleted because of quoting, I'd say OP can repost it without quoting anyone. It's still on-topic.

Man, I agree with what you wrote in that post and I wish there were videos on Youtube that actually criticized NFTs.  Instead, even if you search for "NFTs suck" or "NFTs are a scam" all you get are videos hyping the hell out of them.

What section did you post that in, anyway?  Was your post on topic? 

One possibility is that one of the posts you quoted got deleted, because if I'm not mistaken when that happens yours gets deleted as well.  Another is that some really nuclear-hyped-up NFT fanboy reported your post for being negative toward them and a mod just agreed with the report without thinking about it too much--it's not a shitpost by any means, IMO, so I don't think it'd get reported otherwise.

This post was deleted by a mod a couple of weeks ago.

As far as I can tell, this post hasn't broken any rules.

Why did it happen?
