If you go to the Resources & Tips section of Services in the forums you see some of the resources have "[Deleted]" in the title, are all locked and have a reply from the OP saying: "This resource has been removed and is no longer available for download."

The weirdest things is that it is the OP posting it on their own threads and not a moderator or admin. Is this normal? It certainly doesn't seem like it.

This is probably due to as the title itself says that the resource as been removed by the owner itself or by an admin.

This is normal. Some Staff have been clearing up the C.R.I.B a lot lately (CC @Crazylawrence ) and therefor a lot of resources that didn't follow the C.R.I.B rules were removed or edited. Your post kinda gave me a nice laugh as I've been there when Crazy went through and deleted tons of them for not following the rules :p

I'm so waiting for (CRA73Y_V) to see this

That was me...

When a resource is deleted, it automatically creates a post by the original owner clarifying that the resource is no longer available.
This would be widely effective if people had previously discussed it beforehand.
No hacking has occurred, just me clearing up the CRIB a few times leaving quite a few deleted resource discussions.
