Previously moderated posts have reappeared -- wrecking my thread
Hi all,
My big thread (you know the one) stopped working yesterday evening. New posts are being made but cannot be seen, as any attempt to go to the new pages displays stale posts. The thread index does not extend to the new posts being created.
I have pretty good records of this thread. On review, I discovered that posts that were previously moderated out have returned, for example this one on the very first page. I show that post was removed prior to 19 March 2023, but... it's back.
I believe this results in so many posts coming back from the dead, effectively inserting themselves into the queue, that new ones have shifted outside the visible range. Maybe this happened after a policy change, a partial recovery from backup, or something else, I have no idea.
Any ideas on how to handle this would be appreciated. I have seen this behavior before... but this time I have a better handle on the phenomenology. Thanks.
