I believe that this old thread (started in 2011) was revived by a spam post.
Any replay to a spam post (done by clicking the “reply” button directly associated with that post) will be deleted if the spam post is deleted.
So, if a thread is revived by a spammer (sometimes these result in interesting revisits of the topic, which is a funny benefit of the spam) it’s best to click the “add a comment” button associated with the original post so that content is not deleted with the spam.[/quote]
Yep, this has got to be it. Unfortunately the only way to “report” spammers to the filter (so it can learn) involves deleting them, and if a comment is deleted, all its replies are deleted too (that’s just the way the system works, I cannot control it). So if you directly replied to a spam comment which was later deleted, your comment would have been taken down too.
I think that’s what must have happened here. Sorry about that er… your post was collateral damage in the war on spammers…
