Posts gone walkabout

One was last week. I got an email notification on a subscribed thread. When I clicked on the link to read it a notice came up advising me of a problem. The problem was the thread had disappeared.

It said if I have clicked on a link and this has happened to contact admin. The word admin was a link so I clicked it. I was directed to a "PM Admin"

I did this and asked the question Why has this thread been deleted.

Quite some time ago there was a poster who was advertising his business in his signature. I was not sure if this was allowed so I PM'ed admin to ask them. Again I got no reply.

Dave.

much more reliable method is to hit the report button or send a message to the moderator of the area in question...

if you sent me a message last week and it wasnt directly related to what i was doing at the time then it is most probable that i wouldnt have had time to reply.

How do I do this. Where do I find a report button or how do I find a moderator for the area in question.

Dave.

The report button is the triangular sign in the top right frame of the post in question (any post actually).

Once a post is reported(by using the triangle with the excalmation mark on every post) a copy of the report is sent by email to the moderator(s) of the area the post occurs in,it also automatically appears as a "new post" in the Moderators area,where action is discussed/enacted by the moderators.
As Incisor says,reporting a post is the easiest way of getting attention.The other method is to contact a moderator of the area the post is in via PM,the moderators of the various sections can be seen on each section.
Thanks

What about when the thread has disappeared which was the case in one of my queries here.
