I had made a post a few months back regarding the topic of the SLC day-care, initial investigation, and where it had gone in the few days since that other site had banned discussion of it. Saw some people over on that other site mention it and figured I would toss them a link when I notice that the whole discussion no longer exists My comments in the thread still appear in my comment history. The post even shows up in submissions. But all links to them are dead.
I thought things were supposed to be different here. Apparently it's still the same wolf in different clothing.
EDIT: Apparently I found a bug which cause my post to go kaboom. I'll re-post it, and new info, once there's something with good substance to follow-up with.

I don't see anything in the public moderation log https://voat.co/v/conspiracy/modlog/deleted though that only goes back to the time when the log was implemented by atko, the administrator. This looks kind of like a bug to me, but it might actually have been something the moderators here removed before the public log was set up.
I would be disappointed if it was removed by the mods, but surprised if it happened again now that the log is available to hold mods accountable.
I hesitate to do this, but it might be appropriate to page @atko to see if this is a bug.
edit: just wanted to add that i viewed your profile, and was able to view what you had written in the self-post there by expanding it, but when clicking the link https://voat.co/v/Conspiracy/comments/41750 it turned up the same error page you linked above.

Hopefully it is something as simple as a bug. How could I go about notifying them?

Well, we've technically both done that already now by typing his username in these comments with the @ symbol before it, which sends a notice just like when someone replies to a comment (It's like that reddit gold feature, applies to everyone though). All we can do is wait until he sees it, has some time to investigate, and lets us know what the deal is. He's a pretty busy guy, and doesn't have a ton of time for voat because of his school workload, but I am optimistic that he will check into it for you. If we don't hear anything, then either he never saw the notification (probably because other people pinged him a ton too) or perhaps because he doesn't feel it's important enough to comment on. ;_;
But I am optimistic!

Ahh very cool. Thanks for the help and I'll cross my fingers.

You're welcome. And you know, even if we don't hear anything, it's ok. Even if it turns out the mods censored the post, that's ok too. The most that we've lost is the comments on that post - but you could always re-post the content of it that is still visible on your profile. If it gets removed, then it will show up on the moderation log that we have now, and we can inquire about why it was taken down. If the mods offer no explanation, there are other subverses where it would be appropriate like /v/underreported, etc.
At the moment, I have a pending request for transfer of ownership of the sub to me over in /v/subverserequest, so if that goes through then I can assure you that I'll do what I can to make sure that moderation of posts is transparent, explaining when things are removed as to why, etc.

Adding /v/underreported to Alt where other alternatives for /v/conspiracy are also listed.
