Deleting posts.
For future reference, please do not ever delete public posts without consulting the other players in them. I just found out the hard way that a scene I was in, with three other players, has been completely deleted, and I have no backup.
Part of that scene was intregal to another plot I have going, and now I have no record of it. This is extremely annoying. Neither I, nor the other person, were consulted about the deletion before it happened.
If you feel the need to retcon, please edit the post instead of deleting it. Since I can't remember everything in that post, I now don't know what I should remember or what I shouldn't. This is highly frustrating. Since I can't clarify it at all now, I am running with that scene as I remember it. If that's not accurate, I apologize in advance, but I wasn't consulted on the retcon, I've been rp'ing bits and pieces of other things having to do with that scene for half a week, and now I can't even go back and see what I need to alter.

A couple months ago, "Wilson" from another game (over on GJ) deleted the Wilson journal...which stole several threads that were integral in the development of my House pup.
I was able to email her and ask her to undelete long enough to let me copy and paste the threads out of the Wilson journal and save them, backdated, in my House journal.
I ended up going through every single jornal I'd RP'd in within that game, and saved every single thread I could find in my personal character journals.
To this day, I am hesitant to post in other people's journals, because...you just never know. And losing threads (character and or plot development) to insensitve deleting is just...not fun.
