Ah, ok thanks for the reply. I understand your concern for kids posting here, but it's a shame he/she couldn't get the support/help he/she needed here. Even as a parent myself, I find your stance on this overprotective, but better that than the alternative.

The message one gets when trying to follow a link to a new post (from a subscription email) is confusing -- it implies that one's permissions are not adequate to read the post, and that one may have been demoted. I assume the issue is that deleted threads can only be seen by administrators. But it may be helpful to add to that error message the possibility that the thread had been deleted or moved to a forum to which you don't have access.
