The question was about United Airlines compensation and I posted it in:
FlyerTalk Forums > Miles&Points > Airlines and Mileage Programs > United Airlines | MileagePlus
I was asking what to expect as an offer from the Airline due to a very delayed flight so I could understand if what they offer me is in-line with the norm.
I could read others that posted information about getting compensated for their flight delays, so why was mine removed?
I've never had to deal with a 29 hr delay and an in-flight turnaround, so I have no idea if I should accept whatever it is they offer.
Should I just accept whatever it is and shut up?
Welcome to FlyerTalk, Steve.
We are sorry you had this problem, but your post, once made, was essentially made invisible and sent to a moderation queue for moderator approval; it was not deleted. please read the wiki post at the top of this page for further explanation.
You can see your post, approved by a UA - MP Forum Moderator,
here.
In the future, the easiest and most appropriate way to handle deleted or missing post questions is to contact the moderators in the forum you posted in. If the forum has appointed moderators, their handles will be shown in the lower right area of the main forum page.
For greater ease or if there are no appointed moderators, use the "Alert a moderator to this post button by clicking on the
button) that appears at the left of every post. This will pop up a form that allows you to send a message to all the appointed Moderators in that forum; if there are none, the message will go to FlyerTalk's Senior Moderators, responsible for moderating all fora without appointed moderators.
What we never do is discuss a post deletion - or any moderator action - in the public fora, as stated in the FlyerTalk Rules, here:

We hope your stay on FlyerTalk will be both rewarding and entertaining.
