Is it recommended to repost a thread which disappeared from the General Physics forum in the past two days?
Should I Repost a Missing Thread in the General Physics Forum?
- Thread starter Loren Booda

In summary, it is not recommended to repost a thread that has disappeared from the General Physics forum in the past two days. It is best to leave it as it is and not try to start it up again. It is possible that the thread may have been moved to the General Discussions forum or deleted for not meeting science guidelines. However, in this case, it seems that the thread was put into moderation due to the inclusion of links. The moderators have since taken it out of moderation.

If a thread disappeared, it disappeared for a reason. It would be a bad idea to start it up again.

You might find it in GD, some threads are moved there if they don't meet science guidelines.

I would take a thread deletion sans infraction as a gift, but that's just my take. I'm "perpectually" amazed at the kindness of strangers.

Hi,
I posted a thread in Politics forum about India-Election 2011 .
I am not able to find it. I would like to know the status of that thread?
Thanks.

It seems it went into moderation, that happens sometimes when new members post links. I took it out of moderation.
