There is no need to go to such lengths.
It's just an insignificant post on a forum somewhere on the internet, not a murder case.

I know that you care about the deleted post; otherwise you wouldn’t have made three more posts complaining about it. Don’t give in now: I think we’re on the verge of making a major breakthrough in the Case of the Missing Post. With your brains and my brawn, we’re sure to succeed!

Just be grateful that I'm not sending you to the dungeons, foul Irish leprechaun.

Alrighty then.
Is it by any chance possible that if I deleted a post which would be about 48 hours old and post an entirely new post in its place?
And on the very same day, some mod merged it with another post of mine in an entirely different thread?
Thus accidentally deleting the content in my original post?
And that this would go undetected in the moderator log?
Because that's what happened.
Now detective, if you don't mind, I've got a sweetroll to steal.

I don’t follow you. Why would merging two posts cause the content of one of them to be deleted?

And that this would go undetected in the moderator log?

Merging posts is not a distinct activity; it involves deleting one and editing its content into another. Both of these actions would have been recorded in the logs.

Because that's what happened.

That is exactly what I'm wondering.

Cool story bro, I don't know why someone would bother to merge threads like this.
Should be a lot of unneeded work.

Because that's what happened.

Sure, reply with a boon smiley, that hasn't been done before!

It takes a total of thirty seconds on a moderate connection. That's not unnecessary work, that's called doing your job. If this one got bumped and there is a similar, much more recent one, there's no reason why they shouldn't be merged.

Good lord Rsandee, this is the most pointless argument since the one you put up last year in the religion topic.

[Rsandee]

Well I didn't start it.
And if you think it's pointless, then just stop arguing with me.

[spiraldoor]

That is exactly what I'm wondering.

There is nothing to wonder. You dreamt up an unrealistic scenario in a failed attempt to explain what happened to your post. When corrected, you responded with vague accusations and pretended that your post had been a serious enquiry into something that actually happened rather than a fanciful story you invented. Maybe you are so far gone that you really believe it.

A very transparent attempt to change the subject from the moderator logs to my work ethic. (And since you asked, yes, it was a horrific labour. My fingers are raw and bloody. Four whole clicks! My triumph makes Sisyphus bow his head in shame.)

Sure, reply with a boon smiley, that hasn't been done before!

Very few people have embodied the boon concept as supremely as you at this moment. You are boon.

[Rulez]

Why the hell IS this argument even in existence?

[Haruka]

What I can say is normally the moderation logs never mistake.

[Rsandee]

Why the hell IS this argument even in existence?

Because Spiraldoor never misses a chance to argue.
Go a page back and see for yourself, I wasn't even trying to make an argument.

I didn't make this scenario up.
The only other explaination is that my internet browser fucked up submitting my original post, which I highly doubt.
And hell, make me king of the boons, if that makes you feel any better.

Is that so? I thought it existed because you made a childish, petulant, uninformed, unprovoked and unacceptable accusation about something you didn’t understand, then made repeated attempts to change the subject as I dismembered each of your feeble arguments one by one.

I didn't make this scenario up.

You mean the scenario where you delete a 48-hour-old post and replace it with a new one, only for a moderator to ‘merge’ it with another post of yours in an ‘entirely different thread’, thus ‘accidentally deleting the content in [your] original post’ – a process which was inexplicably ‘undetected [by] the moderator log[s]’? You deny making up this scenario? Even though we can clearly see that you posted it?

Urge to boon... rising...

The only other explaination is that my internet browser fucked up submitting my original post, which I highly doubt.

As I specifically stated, this is only one of the three distinct possibilities I postulated myself; it’s also perfectly possible that your post was lost as the result of some undetected glitch in the forum software. Can you think of any feasible scenario in which a moderator can reasonably be blamed for the loss of your post, and provide convincing evidence to back it up? If not, I suggest you stop complaining, drop the conspiracy theories and move on.

And hell, make me king of the boons, if that makes you feel any better.

I assure you, it does! All hail Princess Rsandee, King of the Boons!

[El Dango]

Oh hell yes, I'm gonna need more popcorn.

[Rsandee]

Jesus fucking christ spiraldoor, you just can't stop boiling my blood.
That scenario is too fucking stupid to make up, I fucking realise that.
But that's how I remember it, even though there is NO FUCKING EVIDENCE TO BACK IT UP.
But I know I'm right on this, even though every other goddamn member of RPC should be on your side.
And if you want to continue making this tiny little argument into a goddamn internet war, you're free to do that with someone else.
Because screw you guys, I'm out of here.

Oh hell yes, I'm gonna need more popcorn.

You're the fifth fucking person to reply like this in one week on the same fucking forum, show some fucking originality you goddamn prick.

[El Dango]

Were the other ones all exactly like this, word for word? Cause that would be pretty cool actually.

[spiraldoor]

Jesus fucking christ spiraldoor, you just can't stop boiling my blood.

You can remember something which happened behind the scenes of the forums, and which you couldn’t possibly have seen, and which you have no evidence to support, and which the moderator logs prove never to have happened, and to which there are numerous alternative explanations which are both perfectly innocuous and much more plausible? That is truly an impressive feat!

But I know I'm right on this, even though every other goddamn member of RPC should be on your side.

Yes, you’re right and I’m wrong, because fuck logic. Potato!

And if you want to continue making this tiny little argument into a goddamn internet war, you're free to do that with someone else.
Because screw you guys, I'm out of here.

My goal was not to start a war, but to respond to your accusations and dispel the doubts you cast upon my actions. I don’t really understand how you can accuse me of ‘making this argument into a war’: you’ve responded to my posts just as many times as I’ve responded to yours, and you don’t see me whinging about it.

Oh hell yes, I'm gonna need more popcorn.

You're the fifth fucking person to reply like this in one week on the same fucking forum, show some fucking originality you goddamn prick.

I think I’ll go to the lobby and purchase some of that delicious honey-flavoured popcorn we discussed a couple of weeks ago.

[Rulez]

That's true, I agree with you Rsandee. By the way click here.

[El Dango]

Honey-flavoured popcorn seem to me like they'd be better as a form of cereal. It would probably be somewhat similar to Sugar Puffs, only more... corny?

[Adsolution]

Honey flavoured popcorn? I'm certainly in. Let us have a movie night and watch "All Hail Princess Rsandee," the new black comedy.
