Did you click "save draft" instead of "submit" by accident? Easy misstake to make ;)

To check for this, click User Control Panel, then Manage Drafts from the left menu. If there are any there, load them and submit to post em.

thank you, but no. it was deleted as you can see above.
my whole forum account was deleted in the past by an anti-spam bot.
i lost all my subscriptions. all my attachments.

now more than one instance my (and others) posts are getting removed for no good reason.

i give up. i'm done.

From what I see this post was deleted from your account. Maybe some family member of a "friend" is making dumb jokes?

I have checked, I couldn't see any ban or unban of your account, and the first column in the moderation log is the account that did the action, so the logs say your post was deleted from your account.
afaik, we moderators have no way of impersonating another user's account, so chances are it really was deleted from your account.
Could anyone other than you have your account information (or maybe access to a computer you have logged in the forum from, and kept your authentication cookie) ?
