    I just had a look and it appears that the thread was deleted because the OP was a spammer.

    Hmm OK that's random... but there was a good conversational posts going along with it. I myself picked one of them up and was going to review it.

    A mod could have just selected all the posts not made by the spammer and merged then into a new thread? Its not hard to do... Or is that permission too far?



    Thanks for the reply!

    When a spammer is banned it's common practice to delete all their posts. As this guy was the OP, the first post was deleted and with it the thread. It would not be normal to read through all the threads they've posted on to see if there are posts that could be hived off to another thread because we simply don't have the resources to be able to do that.

    Hmmm guess being a "mod" means different things to different admins.



    OK, thanks for your answer.

    Any chance of that thread being restored? It had a lot of good information about the product and was good for keeping track of other people's shipping experiences.

    Afraid not, as I said once the OP is deleted the thread goes with it.
