What on earth does does deleting an account and posts have any relevance to a forum?

Well, if posts were deleted, there could've been a civility issue. See the link for the forum guidelines and the quote below for the general help section's bit about user moderation.

Got tired of Forpli going on about mint problems on a zorin forum

As far as discussing Linux Mint, both Zorin and Mint are based on Ubuntu (not considering Mint's special Debian only version): so, problems and their respective solutions are often applicable to both.

As a more frequent forum lurker than poster, I've found the moderators to be fairly patient, and I generally trust their discretion.

Just be calm, be civil, and be welcomed.

Users guide to Moderation:

Maintaining a friendly and inclusive environment within our forum necessitates occasional moderation of posts. This involves actions such as moving posts, splitting threads, and ensuring discussions remain on-topic while upholding community guidelines.

Moderators are bound by ethical standards to intervene when necessary, which may include closing or removing topics. It is imperative that such actions are carried out in an impartial manner.
Should a moderator need to privately message in their official capacity, this private message is to be logged in the moderator forum, providing protections for the members and accountability.

A moderator may need to remove a post or edit its content for clear violations of the guidelines. Examples of such violations include:

• Inflammatory or inciting content
• Spam or unauthorized advertising

We understand that moderation can be unpleasant.
If you find one of your posts has been moderated, it is helpful to reflect on your own engagement with the post in question. Were you emotionally involved? Was the post accusatory, off-topic, or derogatory? If so, moderation may have been necessary.

However, it's important to note that moderators may not intervene simply because they disagree with the opinions expressed in an on-topic post or due to personal biases.

If you believe a moderator has made an error in moderation, you can flag the post and provide supporting statements to explain your position. This may lead to a peer-review of the action taken.

Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining a respectful and constructive environment for all members of our forum.
