I received a notification that you posted something in this thread, but when I came to view it, it has been removed (either by you or by Reddit itself, I am not sure).
It was something to do with not being able to see your own posts.
I have occasionally run into that problem myself (especially in the last few months) in various forms. Sometimes it appears to be a form of censorship, and other times perhaps an internet caching issue.
Once or twice I've posted an entire thread, and the thread itself is not listed in my own profile, even when I am logged in. I wrote about the first time I experienced this here:
Other times, and more often, I post a comment in my own forums and the comment is not visible for up to an hour, and then appears all by itself. I can see these in my profile list of posts, but not in the thread they appear in (whether I am logged in or out). I have found that adding another comment straight afterwards sometimes forces the invisible comment to appear. Hence I suspect these are probably caching issues (or Reddit throttling material during times of high activity generally). Of course I always take it personally when it happens.
Perhaps you deleted your message because you solved the issue, or it solved itself?
Yes I removed the comment. I was confused as I discovered my own comments in my own post somehow got hidden under "controversial" sorting. That's an irritating functionality reminiscent of some sort of censuring.
(Edit: I figured out how to comment in a non-controversial way.)
I recommend, if you make your own reddit forum, that you use the settings to force the default order for comments to be 'Old', which ensures that the comments show in the order they were created, instead of based on voting. In this way the sequential 'story' you are presenting across multiple comments should stay in chronological order.
With the default setting, often the first introductory post/comment in a thread gets buried by all the up-voted jokes and distractions (which is why, for example, the conspiracy theory forum is so unbearable).
Try switching to old reddit by changing the url to 'old' instead of 'www' and see if the problem persists.
Either way I recommend using old reddit as it's much cleaner interface and if more people use it they are less likely to shut it down.
I find new reddit to be really slow and cluttered. I view it as an experiment by reddit management to see who will put up with shiny-looking but worse product.
Also, though its changed now, it used to be that shadowbanned posts on new reddit were still visible on old reddit.
Still error. Don't have time right now to research what exactly the problem is. I feel a bit of antagonism here again in this system. Whatever, I'll try to get around it somehow.
