Why Was My Topic Deleted?

[renegadefm]

As far as I know I didn't do anything illegal. 

I posted a topic about whether any Black Sabbath fans here liked the Tony Martin era. 

 

And I put a link on to his era on Spotify which is a legal streaming platform. 

 

But my post seems to have vanished just hours after I posted it. 

 

Any ideas?

This is so ludicrous but it's not worth arguing about. Every single YouTube link on here has the opportunity to subscribe/follow/like and comment.

There are others with some modicum of intelligence who can also see how farcical this is thankk goodness. 

I also thought the introduction of anonymous mod accounts were designed specifically for this kind of event, to politely explain to a user why something has happened or is about to happen - at the time.

If a YouTube video identified the ABer I would delete it.

 

You wouldn't know if the youtube video was posted by an ABer.

Prudie, you say it is not worth arguing about but go on to do so.

Posting a YouTube/Spotify link is fine, as I explained - providing it doesn't identify the ABer or asks for likes/follows which can earn money for the owner of the YouTube/Spotify account.

I thought I explained all that clearly earlier.  I don't want another ABer to be trolled in their personal life as has happened before.

Mods always were anonymous until recently.  I don't have an anonymous mod account.  Had I explained that the OP could be identified from his link on that thread then that would have defeated the main reason for deleting his thread.

Clone, asking for follows/likes gives a reasonable indication that the ABer has a vested interest in the account.

Barry, you are making sense to me.

Keep doing what you are doing.

Barry's explanation makes good sense.

Thanks both.  renegadefm is happy with my explanation.  I am closing this thread.
