Please do not complain about deletion of posts and/or accounts on the boards. Contact a staff member through PM if you have questions about moderation. Besides that, whoever did any deleting, I’m sure they had a good reason for doing so.


As for your PHP problem, have you tried contacting the person who wrote the script/article? I’m pretty sure they know more about the script they wrote than we do.

I apologize sincerely as it was I that deleted the posts.

I use a utility to help keep control of the Spammers that register here. When I looked at your information, it showed that you had 2 posts. When I tried to look up your posts, the search was unable to find them.

Thinking that you had found a way to modify your post count without actually posting (as I delete users that have a post count of 0 in a relatively short period of time), I deleted your posts and user account.

Later, however, I found where your posts were. (As the “Delete” tool I use only changes the text of the posts to “DELETED”) and I subsequently deleted those as well.

Please again, accept my sincerest apologies. It’s unfortunate, that I have to go through this routine on an almost daily basis to combat spammers. Unfortunately, you got caught accidentally.

thank you for the reply and your apologize accepted :D

again helloo help …!!!
