Can you please tell us when you are going to delete threads, or posts? This really discourages me wasting my time looking for a thread that never existed and no this hasn't been the first time. Thread 19405 was deleted without me being told and I rather get an infraction and be told than act like nothing happened.

New threads that are the same as another posted earlier are usually merged. Do a search for existing threads on your topic before posting a new one.

It's not his job to do anything. While the staff who closed the thread should have notified him, there was no need to make it a public issue when it's just his thread that was closed.
If this was a thread about multiple instances of this occurring, or if a staff member was not responding then I would understand.

There have been loads of threads like this recently. The staff have gotten the memo that they need to inform us of actions such as this. If they choose not to, then they can be called out publicly in my opinion.
Edit: I even don't see how Mark could have been any nicer in his post.

But it's an ongoing issue and the thread title is "Tell Us?" which is plural and he means the whole community. This is something that needs to be fixed and he was providing another example of it happening. If he were notified of the merging/deletion there wouldn't be a thread. You don't cut a weed at the top to kill it, you pull it out from the root. Just as you try to get to the root of the problem.
But isn't the root of the problem the staff deleting threads without notification? Why aren't the thread owners PMing the staff?
All this thread is doing is bringing drama and attention to the problem. All I am saying is that the people who are having their threads deleted should be personally seeking out help for this instead of making it a public issue.

As no posts have been deleted when merging a thread, it's really not a priority when there are other things to take care of. If you feel very strongly about wanting a notification of this too, I will be sure to PM you in the future about merges. However, it is very easy to just take a look at your post history if you think one of your threads has "disappeared." Feel free to PM myself or another staff member if you have any other private issues.
