I’ve already read the guidelines, but I will review them again more carefully. If necessary, I’ll reach out to the admins/mods to resolve this. Appreciate your help!
Yes, I think so. In your profile settings, there should be a "show dead" option. Select "yes" then update the settings. I know it will show other's dead posts, but I dont know if it shows a user their own dead posts. (Luckily, I haven't had a dead post yet, so I can't verify.)
After updating, if you look at the "new" tab, you'll see dead and/or flagged posts. It doesn't say why, but it will show [dead] and [flagged]. If your post was flagged, it's most likely by users. Dead means killed by admins/mods, sometimes due to flags.
Side note: With "show dead" on, you'll see the dead flag, but will still be able to click the submitted link. I think that's for transparency so we can see what the admins block. There's also a vouch button for dead posts. But don't use that unless you are really sure about the author and/or content of the post. I don't think you can vouch for your own posts, either.
Good luck! I hope everything works out.
