Invalid "Brother" thread

[LanMan]

Hey, I just clicked on a link here in the General section about some guy looking for his brother that was separated from him at an early age. I thought I would be kind and reply (I know I'm stupid), and the forum responded that it was an "invalid link". Now it's gone. Anyone else seen this? How does an invalid link popup in a forum?

happens to me all the time. I checked my preferences and all threads/post are suppose to show.

Its either spam that was deleted or something else?
