My are my map posts deleted?

[Rugnir]

Why were my map posts deleted? i had the staff account tell me on one that these forums are for completed work, which it was, and then close all my topics and posts instantly?
I am happy to change them but i dont see how they difffer from for example NoQ's maps posts in the same section of the forum

Thanks if they were restored, or maybe they just blipped away at the server end or something... i dont know, but they are back now whereas before i got a this topic does not exist error

Your posts were never deleted.
They are put in a moderation queue, as the forum software tells you, for all new users to prevent spam bots.
Then once you pass X number of posts, there is no more moderation queue.
