All started by the same user, or were there multiple deletes?
Once again, this software proves itself inferior. When I ran a community site, and you deleted a user, all of their posts were attributed to an anonymous account for this very reason.
It looks like 98% of the threads that had replies posted today between 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.-ish have been deleted. Really hoping this is a temporary glitch.
I actually still have it open in another window. I won't bother pasting in the content (not because it's offensive, but it's gone for a reason), but they posted in:
Yeah, I've worked on a few sites before and if we got trolls we either just deleted their posts or their account got turned into an anonymous user instead. We would never delete every thread they posted in because, as happened here, you end up losing good content. If it's because of the software of the site, that's pretty bad.
Are all these threads gone? Those are just the most recent ones that the person posted in that show up in their profile; I didn't actually check all the links.

Not every post in Lizzie's screenshot went missing, btw. So if you're going by that, it won't line up. Oops, looks like Obsessives and On Your Feet are back... maybe all of them?!
It's kind of funny that when someone mentioned "troll", the first person I thought of was Phillypinto.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
Someone posted nonsense in a ton of threads. The posts got deleted, and along with some of those posts, some threads disappeared too, but are coming back. That's about all you missed.
