I tried to click on a thread in IMHO called “Am I the world’s oldest virgin?” Mainly because it was authored by “Dr. Emmitt Brown,” and everyone knows that Back to the Future is the greatest movie ever made. However, I was told I didn’t have the privileges to reach that page, and tha my account may be disabled. Then the thread disappeared.
Usually when this happens, the thread was posted by a returning sock and the mods prefer you PM or email them to find out what’s up, in order to avoid giving the banee undue attention (see here or here)
Mods, given that there are three of these now on the front page of ATMB, perhaps a sticky would be useful. Something like "If a thread has gone missing…"maybe.
