Damnatio Memoriae

The ancient Romans called it Damnatio Memoriae - the practice of "damning" or erasing the memory of someone who had fallen into disgrace. I am reminded of this after having seen an earlier post of mine today disappear without a trace or explanation. Indeed, all the other posts in the same thread were also gone. At least I can't find them.

The subject was developed from an auction post and focused on whether auction reserve prices should have to be the same as starting prices (I was against it).

I thought this was a useful subject. However, someone evidently thought otherwise. Our moderator Mulligan was part of that discussion and so perhaps he knows what happened to the missing posts. I would be very grateful to have even the shortest explanation if possible - so much nicer than just guessing about the reason.

Regards
