I'm not sure who deleted it. But, I agree, there should be a reason given. I'm researching and will give you more information as I discover it. :)

Thanks!

I'm not in any way offended by removal (as I understand the reasons) and I guess that you (Symantec) will be probably interested who posted that tool in public.

It's just for the future it should be done in more "elegant" way in my opinion. Just something to consider when improving Connect.

PS. Post was named "CleanWipe available for public download" and it was posted today between 2-4 pm GMT.

The Admins/TA's should have the ability to enter a reason for post deletion/editing which gets sent as a PM to the author..
Would make things easier.

Will post this as a suggestion in a new thread.

Cheers

I too would like to submit/see a reason for post/thread deletions. I deleted a duplicate post tonight after making sure is was 100 percent the same as the other duplicated post (I deleted the newreest one).  As a prior moderator on several vBulletin forums, we never deleted posts or threads.  We simply moved the thread so all moderators could see it and suggest/vote what to do and moved it back after it was cleaned.  I would like to see this functionality here if possible.

The forum I put together and run has a hidden section only myself and the moderators can see.  We have titled it "the post graveyard". If a member contests the removal, or other mods want an "opinion", it's moved there and can be reviewed if needed.
If after a couple weeks no one has complained or we have all agreed, it's deleted from that section.

Sounds reasonable, good idea!

 Super idea. It allows for moderation and contest of the same...

Getting back to your original post, is Cleanwipe available to the public?  I thought you could only get that from tech support.  If it is available, by all means, post the link here for our reference.  Oh yeah, I didn't delete your thread! :-)

I agree with that we should be at least informed about the update and changes that would be done to our inputs and account.

ya they should atleast send a mail why the post is deleted....???

I have also not get any mail or any information about my article has been deleted.

Well, I think most of the time it's probably obvious why articles/posts are getting deleted.
However, I agree that the should be a notice.

I think they are working on a solution for this "problem".

The moderators ALWAYS send a private message when an article is not approved or deleted.  I'm not aware of any incidents where this has not happened.

When one of my articles is declined, I alway's get a message.
I like that and it keeps me on track.
