Hello zlloyd1,
The forums are currently under construction and can be flaky sometimes. Those big red banners are quite common. Sometimes you can just ignore them. Sometimes they mean you have been logged out, but only partially, if that makes any sense.
Since you mentioned "flaming", it is also possible that some of your posts have been deleted by the moderators. If you have participated in any discussions that make you say that, then there is a good chance this is what happened - in addition to standard forum flakiness. Sometimes, it could be some one else's post that was deleted. This would result in any replies to that post being deleted as well. Maybe your posts were caught up in one of those episodes.
Otherwise, this is the place to contact the Apple hosts. I can't guarantee they will reach out to you, but they might. I checked your history (https://discussions.apple.com/profile/zlloyd1/activity) and you seem to have started 4 threads recently. Should there be more than that? You can use the "Content" view to see older posts.
