Has policy on thread deletion changed?

A couple of times recently I have posted on a thread which has subsequently disappeared completely. There always used to be a "deletion message" placeholder in "threads I'm on" giving a short explanation (eg PBP, troll, privacy concerns etc) but these last two times there has been nothing.

What's changed? I think deletion messages are important. Pretending the thread never existed is disingenuous.

Hi OP,

Thanks for bringing this up.
There isn't a new policy for thread deletions, there should be some explanation in the message.
We sometimes use something along the lines of 'This thread has breached Talk Guidelines' But that is usually only used for Spam threads when we are removing a lot at once.

Hi Imchlibob,

Could you let us know what browser and which device you're on? Could you also let us know whether you're on the mobile, main site, or app?

Thanks for that, ItsAllGoingToBeFine - much appreciated.

Zibbidoo, if you could also let us know device/browser etc, that would be fab!

Imchlibob - so it sounds like the threads and their deletion messages are still visible just far further down the list than in the past - have we got that right?
