So all one has to do is tell a mod to remove a post and they do, no questions asked?

Perhaps it's one of these:

Correct op

That may not quite be what the OP is saying. I believe they may be experiencing the same phenomenon I have been lately. I have had threads I have posted in lately completely vanish from the web. Not showing in recent posts, not showing in topic list. Oddly, some of these threads have been seemingly innocuous; the thread on the 10 commandments stone found in new mexico, for instance. Nothing earth shattering, nothing revealing state secrets, nothing involving lettered agencies, nothing of a sensitive nature at all... Just gone for no real reason.

It is only slightly unnerving to have this happen to you a few times over. But having entire topics wink out of existence is annoying when you are looking to see if there has been any replies since your last visit, or keeping track of the threads you have been too.

It's a CONSPIRACY I tell you!!
