I know I was banned but I am not a new user
sorry for having to tag you but @slh and your the only staff member I can remember
I need this sorted
sorry but can I actually have an urgent post now
the person helping me thinks I was on about them, when I was on about the system
I am mid conversation and my whole Wi-Fi is broken now
I am really sorry but today a lot has happened here to make me really mad
actually I think a break is probably best for me, I would like to finish that conversation though

To @LilRedDog
thanks for figuring it out, I don't get why this happened
glad we are still good
I have had over 40 system messages and emails today
all my posts was removed then restored
and now I am limited for 21 hours on that thread
I figured it out; we're good.
We can pick it up whenever. A break will give time to check for stability and try some suggestions and see if they solve anything.
What does "staff" mean?
It usually means employees....
Everyone here is a volunteer and some are admins.... But none are employees.
What kind of volunteer would you like to help you?
what I wanted has been done, I got promoted to a higher tier, so the reply limit should be gone
but why did around 20 threads get removed then restored
Staff in this case is the Discourse forum software definition... moderators and administrators. These are the people who have "Staff" titles per the software (and yes, we're all volunteers)
I have no idea what happened. Yesterday I saw a flood of system spam notifications from your posts. They were existing posts so I don't know what triggered the system to retroactively call them spam (normally it does this only for new posts), and I can't figure out what criteria it was using.
I told the system that your posts were not spam, and that restored them.
That may have also been what helped get your trust level increased (again a system level thing) since the system now had confirmation that your posts were not spam.
But I don't know what kicked off that whole situation... it certainly wasn't a human AFAIK. Sorry for the confusion that it caused. Glad things are now working as expected.
