Reputation thread gone, and new reputation thread doesnt display

[Helicobacter]

1. Is there a way I can get my reputation thread back (see http://forums.sourceop.com/threads/1...d?highlight=)?

For the above post that I made a day ago I received 5 infraction points because I posted in the wrong forum, namely the one that has the descriptor "Discuss anything!"

2. I then posted a reputation thread in the reputation forum. However, it doesn't display. Does it need to be approved first, or does it not being posted have something to do with me getting the 5 infraction points?

Whoever restored my rep: Thanks a lot!
