I reviewed the rules and I didn't see anything stating problems with our profiles should be directly forwarded to a Mod/Admin:
https://g35driver.com/forums/announcement.php?f=10&a=6

Since there isn't a section specifcally designated "what happened to my personal settings as I never messed with them" section, I figured FEEDBACK/SUGGESTIONS would be the most appropiate area to post such a question.

And since I would guess (wrong I gather) that at least one admin would browse the section for feedback/suggestions maybe once a day, I figured it would have been addressed in less than 5 days.

But I appreciate the comment:

That's the kind of indepth investigation that warms my cockles man

If I actually made the mistake(s) required accidently delete them on my own, I would "MAN UP" and accept it. But I don't think I did. So I conclude that some friendly mod/admin thought it was a good idea to dig into my control panel and delete all my suscribed threads. Either by accident or not. Why? Because deleting all suscribed threads falls into the same scroll down window as banning. And it requires only one action (vs two actions by normal member). So I'll say it again, if it was an accident, fine. If it was on purpose, thanks.

 

Now that I'm subscribed to this thread and I do have sometime @ the moment I can make a timely response.

Many assumptions on your part Jeff. One needs to learn to not assume what you don't know.

Why rules, no rules needed, it's common sense.

Why would you need a forum for a specific problem with your profile
A PM to the staff works all the time and if that particular member of the staff you PM'd can't get a resolution to your querry then it gets passed up the food chain or gets discussed in the mod/admin forum.

The Man Up commment was not directed at you with the possibilty of you deleting anything. It was more direct in that they are not there and fahgetaboutit, no use in crying over spilled milk etc.

An assumption that is not true. The admin cp doesn't work like that at all. The area that you are talking about has no provision for banning, it sits in a totally different area.

Another assumption on your part. We do have a life outside of the driver forum and are responding to other users who are PM'ing us with questions/issues etc.
Sorry if none of the staff was jumping through hoops to get to your personal problem. Come to think of it I'm wondering why too.... ummmm.
Guess they are all out spreading Xmas Cheer.

 

Actually IMHO, it's not. I really see no diff inbetween asking here vs a PM. Actually if the problem is at all common, it would be best to address it here.

As can a feedback question. I also don't know if this question could be handled by only a mod. Hence the question being posted here

Correct. but it served as my personal "stickies". Since the stickies in the sedan section mainly consisted of posting pictures, I had to go around and suscribe threads on my own to make my own. Not only for my reference but to address repeated sedan related questions when the arise in that section.

I wrote "I assume" because of course I can't know 100% for THIS forum board. But because this is Vbulletin and because maxima.org is Vbulletin, I ASSUMED them to be similar. Reason for assumption? Well for one your own moderator Christian states "well since you're as familar with Vbulletin as any of us..........".

I know what you are talkng about. The ban user is on the far left hand side and you normally have to scroll down, click ban user and insert the name.

But if you go into a thread, click on a user's profile, click "user options", log in as admin, you will be shown the user's profile.

Right above that user's profile is a "Quick user Links" box. Hitting the arrow down, will show you a list of specific user actions including banning, deleting user PMs and deleting subscriptions.

Again, if that was the standard way, I haven't really seen it stated.

Never DEMANDED any hoop jumping but if 5 days is considered hoop jumping, so be it. I thought that's more than enough time.

The other thing is your busy schedule. I saw you digging around in the CP to check to see if what I posted was true or not. Fair enough. But if your schedule is that tight, wouldn't it be better just to answer the original question?

I conclude.
1) They are gone and cannot be retreived. At least that's what the vBulliten says if you choose that.
2)No one knows what happened or why it happened.

I'll live, maybe.

 

LMAo
Oh great one, your too funny.

 

If you ride his sack any higher, you might dissapear into the great taint

 

I "know" someone who was banned on maxima.org. When they were banned, they lost 5+ years of subscribed threads due to a glitch in the vbulletin ware.

 

^^ Who was it? Did Jeff ban them?

 

That's what I was thinking.
Who was it Phil, and were you the person that got the axe?

 

There are probably 10-15 mods on .org. Exactly why would this one ban be assigned to me?

Unless I can control the matrix

But tell you what, consider someone just DID wander into my control panel and screwed with my sig, my theory just got alot better. As explained but probably went right past ya

 

Why are you stealing my avatar pic? I'm just a super mod.

 

Tell the powers at be to restore my sig.

 

LOL, Jeff, at least your new sig is not irritating like your bug sig.

 

That's not going to happen, read the signature/avatar rules announcement.

 

I didn't know irraitating was a reason to edit someone's profile w/o notice.

Ie... in this thread, I was asked why a mod/admin wasn't notified. Well no one 'notified' me of this latest change.

 

Then they should make it so it cannot be done. Yes?

And since my profile has been dinged at least twice now, I can see how my suscribed threads could have accidently been "deleted" also.
