I have a message in my inbox stating “Flagged post removed by staff” I don’t recall posting anything THAT offensive and of course the post is now gone so I can’t see it. And while we’re at it, if I did get a warning how would I know in the new system? ---

You didn’t get a warning. I’m almost positive. I got the same message from _Staff_ It was in regards to me posting and flagging your thread about needing help. I think they are just deciding the problem is resolved and that’s a default message. I’m not gonna worry about it. But it is kinda creepy a _Staff_ is babysitting us. 😰 ---

Bumping this so maybe @zoid will see it. ---

I don’t think you have to do that anymore. The OP gets a notification every time someone posts in his or hers thread. 🙂 ---

@zoid , I guess we know why the _Staff_ pulled our posts out now. ---

Is that why some of the posts in various threads (including one of yours Beck😳) are blurred out? They’ve been flagged for removal and are censored until the system removes them? Uh, I guess I should add that this is only noticed if I’m lurking without logging in. Haven’t run across one while logged in so it may be something else ---

Spoiler boxes on the old system are converted to blurred text. ---

Dork, you too can blur your text. It’s easy just click on the little wheel in the box your typing in like this. Fun stuff. keep posting, or I’m sending out a posse to find you.
