OP Post will have the red banner message stating that it has been removed when I hit reply to question and I can't find the original question.
There was nothing in the OP's post that would require a mod to edit it
This has happened on the M2M board AND the DB's.
Last night I had replied to an OP and their post was removed before my reply went through. They did get a bell notification though and PM'd me this morning. I am including the OP's ID in hope that it can be used to track the error busybeeshopper12
Is anyone else seeing OP posts disappear?

Hi @comics-scifi-collectibles,
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The question and your answer have been released back to the Community and can be accessed here: https://community.ebay.com/t5/Member-To-Member-Support/eBay-needs-war-with-Usps/qaq-p/31420495.
To expedite this process in the future, please feel free to use the Report Inappropriate Content function to let us know when a thread appears to have gone missing. That way, whichever moderator is currently working can promptly address the issue.
Since you won't be able to submit a report via the missing post, you can instead report this reply or your OP in this thread. Please just include a brief message explaining that a post to which you replied or attempted to reply has disappeared, and that you are requesting that a moderator check to confirm whether it was quarantined as possible spam and release it back to the Community as needed. Providing the OP's name and/or the title of their post helps, but is not strictly necessary.

Hi @comics-scifi-collectibles ,
I looked into this and discovered that the user's post was automatically quarantined as possible spam after an edit made by the OP. I have reviewed the post and released it back to the Community. You should now be able to view their post and your reply here.

Thank you! Not sure why myself and others keep experiencing this though on other posts. I wonder if it's more of the automatic quarantine run amok.

You use the app, right? Does the same happen on the desktop? (Or vice versa?)

It's happened to me several times across different boards- selling, chat, etc- where my post instantly disappears because the spam filter takes it. I go to the previous post and report to the mods that my post is missing- and usually the mods restore it pretty quickly.

@pburn I post using a PC 99% of the time. I use my cell phone with the mobile version if I'm watching TV with my hubby and the show is boring. LOL
I never had it happen on the mobile site on my phone
I haven't had it happen again this week. I had reported it on the mentor chat board on the 28th and 3 other mentors said they had the same thing happen several times that week. Hopefully, it won't return.

I just had another post disappear. The OP's post did not contain anything that would warrant a removal...
Can the post be brought back?

@kh-gary Thank you. When the OP's post goes "poof" and is removed I have no way of knowing who they were.
I will be sure to use the report option on this thread to try to recover future posts. I appreciate your help.
