G'day Rolf,
The first part of your message explains the [no such node, ID 11139417].
Thanks for that.
"Someone purged the whole node, such that the title can't be resolved anymore."
Can the purge process, whether automated or manual, include a first step of sending a message
that indicates that purging will occur.
That would provide an explanation of why the message changed from "node title" to "no such node, ID node-id"
and the subsequent disappearance of the reply.
What the monk actually sees (message modification or reply disappearance) will obviously change
depending on the time the message and/or thread is accessed.
To give an idea of what I believe the series of steps were in my case (all relative to my timezone):
-
I wrote my reply, "Re: Perl Multi Processing.", early in the morning.
-
Probably not long after that, I logged off and started $work.
-
At some point during the day, the AM response was posted.
Had I been logged on around that time, I no doubt would have seen a "Re^2: Perl Multi Processing" title in the message;
and the actual reply in the thread.
-
Later during the day, the AM response was purged.
-
After $work, I logged back in and saw the message with the title "no such node, ID 11139417";
and, of course, no reply to my post.
I thought that some error may have occurred, e.g. a DB issue, and reported the (apparent) problem.
If I see something similar again, I might guess this is a purging issue and just move on;
however, that could mean a real error goes unreported — how would I tell the difference?
In the future, others might experience exactly the same thing.
Finally, just to be clear, I do not have a problem with purging posts from known trolls.
I do have a problem with no general notification that purging was something that was to be introduced;
and also that I received no specific notification that a reply to me had been purged.
