Hey!!! Where did my post go?!?!?!!
« on: August 30, 2011, 10:38:25 AM »
In an effort to stay organized, sometimes the moderators of Waygook.org will move threads from one section of the forum to another.  This is particularly true of threads started in the "General Discussion" area that should more accurately be posted in sections such as "Life in Korea," "Contract and Job Related Issues," etc. 

Before starting a thread demanding to know where a post has gone, please try to locate it yourself.  It may have been moved to a more appropriate section.  You can locate your thread via the following methods:

1.  Using the "Search" function listed at the top of the page. (From davey: I prefer using Google to search this site. Type "site:waygook.org [search term]" in the search field" (without the quotes of course).

2.  Searching through your post history.  At the top of the page, click on "Profile," and from the drop down menu select "Forum Profile."  Under "Profile Info," select "Show Posts" from the menu.  This will allow you to see the posts you've made and where they are located.

To help with keeping Waygook.org as organized and efficient as possible, please take a moment to think about where you are starting your threads.  Posting threads in the correct forum the first time helps you keep track of your posts, helps other users find relevant information quickly, and helps save the moderators time that could be applied toward other forum improvements.

Please see this post for information regarding what should/should not be posted in General Discussion --

Thanks for being a part of Waygook.org  :D

I can't see my posts nor the attachments of others. Why not? I have written a bunch of things on here... :(

I think sometimes they just remove them all together instead of relocating them. I guess if someone thinks the post was pointless or didn't really say anything.

Yes, moderators reserve the right to delete posts if they violate Waygook.org's Terms of Service -- for instance, if a user has made a post that is racist/hateful, if a user makes a post that is only one or two words, etc.

However, in such cases, the moderators do make an attempt to notify users when and why their post was deleted.

Probably merged. There have been loads of threads about that.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I have also not been able to find some of the documents I uploaded. Quite frustrating.

Every single one of the posts I posted, nearly 2000, are gone. What happened to them?

Looks like you got banned in January and your profile and posts deleted.
In Korea from 2005 - 2010, not in Korea now.  Please contact an active moderator for quick answers to your questions.

This week there was a great thread about the Korean government removing some evolution-related material from school text books. It prompted about 4 pages of dialogue debating the role of evolution vs. creationism's role in the education system. It was one of my favorite "hot topics" to read this week.

As of about 2 hours ago, it's completely gone. Where is it??

Hi, I made a post on this thread:
http://waygook.org/index.php/topic,37578.0.html

And I basically said that I was disappointed with that recruiter because they didn't respond to my emails.
I believe I only wrote about two sentences, if I'm not mistaken.

I checked that thread a while later and I found that around two posts by other users were approved but mine wasn't. At first I didn't think it was a big deal... but now I can't help but wonder why my post wasn't approved? I didn't say anything terrible. In fact, other posters said harsher things. Could a moderator thought I was spamming since my post was so short? But I have plenty of posts and I'm definitely not trying to up my post count since I have 100+ posts.

I've contacted more than a dozen recruiters and was considering making one giant post about my experiences. That's why I'd just like to know what about that post was wrong in case I write something that isn't allowed in this site again without knowing.

Thanks.

I read the rules and can't see why my post was deleted.
The thread is now locked. No message why either?
The simple fact the thread was only replied to by a few users backs my reply.
Mods?
Deal with what?
It happened thousands of miles away.
It will happen again unfortunately.
20 years ago this would have been some HUGE news but of late most of us have grown a thick skin to sad events like this.

On the bright side we know this won't happen in Korea.
