It's the BSV thread that is deleting our posts. Some of us who have posted here, have posted there, and it took several months before the self-mod of that thread to delete our posts. It's not in this thread.

How would that result in auto-PMs explicitly stating, “deleted by the starter of a self-moderated topic”, with reference to what appear to be past posts in WO?

"appear" yes, but are not.

I remember the posts and the thread.

It "appears" to be pasts posts in WO because a bunch of us came to that thread to mock that idiot about his flags and statements about "corrupt cap wearers".

Either the thread got nuked or the idiot decided to remove the posts.

Thank you for the cool heads and cogent explanations.

I observe that the banner at the top of this thread currently says, “148 posts by 37 users deleted.”  An archival snapshot from 2020-07-19 says, “147 posts by 36 users deleted.”  Accordingly, unless the forum and/or archive.org are lying, infofront has deleted a whopping one (1) Wall Observer post within the past eight weeks.

(Of course, forum moderation action and deletions by post authors not relevant to self-mod deletion messages.  I do notice the thread sometimes jumping up inexplicably, such as today.)
