Self delete versus Auto delete ?
Ive seen both "This message was self deleted ..."
and "This message was auto deleted ..."
What's the difference in the two?
Thanks

while auto-removed posts are removed by the software, typically when the poster is banned.
If the poster is new, all their posts & username are deleted. If a poster who has been here a while is banned, their posts from the previous 12 hours are removed (I think).
