can you at least send a notice to the OP when stuff like this happens? so we're not so clueless

Andy, it's your responsibility to search before you post a new deal to make sure it hasn't already been posted. And when you find your thread is missing, common sense is to search YOUR posting history to see if it has been merged with an previously existing identical deal thread. If your thread was merged, it will still show up in your posting history since you post still exists in public view.

We don't need mods babying us with PMs of our search-neglected reposts. Do you know how many deal duplicates get posted everyday? Don't be a disability to yourself; use the post history button.

This is in the works.

My last one was deleted or "merged". I did a search before hand and didn't see that it was already posted.
