I responded to a nine year old post. The Mod messaged me stating I would not receive a reply since the poster was obviously gone. The posting was then locked. Some posters are worth more than others. My two year hiatus lost me my former time and name. There are postings for CC that no longer exist. Some haven't for years! I have yet to receive a reply to three messages sent to the Mods.
The removal of dormant accounts was a series of automated tasks, and is likely ongoing. Also, keep in mind that while a user may not have posted in many years, that does not necessarily mean that they have not logged into the forums or a linked myFICO account in that time. Your beef is with a computer; no one actively made a decision to single out your account for removal.
Unless the message you received was to your prior account at least 15 months ago, it's extremely unlikely that the person who sent you that message was a moderator as the Khoros moderation team (in place a year before your current account was created) do not interact with the community. It has been the policy of the myFICO Forums since its inception that old threads were locked to further replies after a period of one year; these slip through the cracks more often without active moderation as this was a manual process that we would complete on a schedule.
@mgoodThe change implemented that restrict how long we have to edit a post were a major downgrade. I don't even know what the time limit is. I saw one post where someone was able to edit at 11hrs and change so it's got to be at least 12 hours, but nonetheless that was a big mistake imo for that change to be made (my assumption is that Khoros made that change after they took over moderation).
Edit: found a thread where it looks like it's 24hrs.
