I don't know what this is about but several threads or posts I've been making are disappearing without any reason from the forums.
They don't break any rules, and I'd like it if people stopped randomly removing my posts unless they have a reason.
Can you give examples of these threads so I can look for them? They have probably been unapproved or something.
Examples are: AtomBB Support Site.
There were others, but I can't remember where they were posted or what they contained
Your AtomBB thread was unapproved and I believe it was because it's support forum for another competing forum software. I agree with the staff member who unapproved it as you shouldn't promote other forum software here, but maybe they should have contacted you about it when they did it.
About other posts that you may have noticed missing, I moved a heap of threads from General Discussion to Web Development and Administration earlier today and forgot to leave a redirect so check there, maybe thats whats making it seem like a lot have gone.
Other than that though, I looked through the mod logs and I don't see many posts that have been unapproved or deleted recently.
The problem was, the site was running MyBB, so it was actually in the rules. You can't promote sites that do not run MyBB though. Maybe it was misconstrued?
But it was advertising a competitor, regardless of whether it was running MyBB

We're not going to let you advertise your competing software. Just like we're not going to let phpBB or SMF come here and advertise.
Maybe you should make that explicity clear in the rules?
It's a rule that shouldn't really be needed though. I mean who allows competition to advertise? And, what software company/developer doesn't use their own software for representation?

Yeah it'd be like Microsoft putting a pop-up ad for Windows on Apple's website
