it wasn't ranting and raving as you say, it was a simple question that i decided to create a thread about because i didn't think any mods were going to answer me and it would be easier for the person who closed it, "if it was closed" to find.
First off, and I know how you don't like rules on a forum, the rules state that if a thread you made is deleted, do NOT make a thread asking about it. Rather than that, PM a mod. Then it says to give at least 24 hours for a response. I am not focusing on that, though. After PM-ing a mod/mods (which was the right thing to do), you could have just waited. If I was one of those mods, you know I'd respond to you as soon as I could as I have in the past.

But the mods can see every thread that was deleted. So when you mention something about a thread being deleted, we can search and find it. It doesn't matter who deleted it, either. Later, QD.
