It looks like I got it locked by asking for information when in fact itude's posts were deleted. I never did get an answer.
All realizations lead to silence

@Llama has been self-silenced for about 4 months now.. @llama47 is the mighty thread creator.
@itude is just a prisoner of the war he wanted.

Were they deleted or did they just disappear when he was muted?

I'm not sure I know the difference between deleted and disappeared. They vanished. I assumed the moderator deleted them. If that's not how it works then they just disappeared.

Pretty sure he was muted. He was being pretty contentious with a mod.
All your posts and topics are invisible when you're muted. They reappear when you're unmuted.

I don't know about "mighty" but thanks
They don't disappear. I remember every note and forum and blog I posted before I was muted vanished when I got muted, but reappeared after I was unmuted.

Ah, understood. That explains the blank pages that will someday be refilled.

If the don't disappear, how do they reappear?

I thought it was a worthwhile topic.

^^ this!! When someone gets muted all their comments vanish but reappear once they are unmuted

Luckily for me, I was drunk and listening to pure, concentrated, 1990s.

Never been a fan of locking a thread to control one or two posters. It punishes the good actors with the bad actors.
Nonsense/spam threads posted as such from the get-go is another matter.
After much meditation the bunny has decided that he shall now respond with the "Wut? No u." to any comment he doesn't fully understand and "let's race to 100" to any that he fully misunderstands. In other words, the bunny intends to do no further reading nor thinking (disclaimer: this is not a claim that the bunny has ever done so in the past) . He has hereby been assimilated.
No, the resident dumb bunny isn't handing out koans just yet. The following @llama topic got locked and @itude got muted, hence the title. Sorry for the disappointment.
