Why can't I find the questions I asked the community?

I recently asked a question regarding the Apple Watch. On signing in, I expected to see my question and any possible responses. This is what normal forums do. Why not Apples? Is this another case of Apple apps simply not working? Is there an inverse relationship for 'tech' companies between market capitalization and basic technical competence?

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 11

Posts stay here in perpetuity, but the forum's internal search indexing only "sees" back about three months. 


If you need to look farther back than three months, paste this site-delimited search string into your favorite search engine:


site:discussions.apple.com “nicodaspinall”


When I do that web search, I find this from July 31 (screenshot):


When I click the link, it goes to a "page not found" message. That indicates it was removed .


From the snippet in the search engine results it appears you were filing a complaint with Apple. Apple are not here and we, other end users, do not process complaints on their behalf. That is a possible cause for removal, and you should have received an email stating the reason, except in the the cases Urquhart1244 states.


Asking "why not Apple?" here as in your current post is useless because we can only speak of reasons Apple have published, not speculation. The Terms of Use we all agreed to follow on signing up here state some off-limits topics that include questioning Apple policy and their moderation of these Apple-owned forums.


Apple's playground— Apple's rules.

There doesn’t seem to be any recent question posted from your account, as used for this query. Only this very thread shows up.


Either the question was from a different account, or the posting the question was never completed successfully, or it was from longer than 3 months ago (post-history-by-profile is time limited). If the post was removed by moderators for any reason, then you would have received an email message about that.


Unless you disabled communications about forum activity that you have participated in, you would have received an email message for any reply to your question, with a link to that thread on this forum.
