Was this thread deleted because the OP was a sock, or something…?
Doesn’t help to link to a deleted thread. 
Spam or sock is the usual reason.
Does help to link, since mods can see “deleted” threads (actually moved to a mod only part of the site).
But yeah, probably should email or PM a mod/admin about this they are unlikely to give details here.
I forget what forum it was in so I didn’t know which one to PM. Figured this would just snag whoever was online.
And yeah, given the error message, I’m assuming it wasn’t outright deleted as much as moved to here or something.
My guess is a mod moved it and forgot to remove a redirect. Threads that are removed to the restricted part of the board shouldn’t even show up for members. That’s why you get a message about not having permission to view the thread, because the thread title was left with an accidental redirect to a mods-only section of the board. So, yeah, posting a link will help the mods see which one it is so they can get rid of the redirect.
