Odd permissions issue

These two threads show up in my search for threads with new posts:

https://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=129197&goto=newpost

When I click on either link, I get an error message:

I’m fairly sure I’ve been able to view these threads in the past. In any case, if I lack permissions, they shouldn’t show up in my search.

Interesting. I can click on the threads themselves and read them, but the “goto=newpost” key-value pair in the url causes a permissions issue.

Each of those threads has a last post by user leahmelda, according to my search page for threads with unread posts, but I do not see such a post on either thread, and reading the thread to the end doesn’t affect the search for threads with unread posts.

Was leahmelda perhaps a spammer, and the posts were removed in some way that is fooling the search?

Spammer, I banned and moved the marketing content to a hidden area.

The posts no longer show up in that search.

Excellent.
