you said 8 posts. are all those posts look like this one (you promoting your site)? might be viewed as spam if that's the case.

I do promote my site, yes. But I answer the question at hand. Is the problem that I didn't link directly to the page with the answer?

Most of the time it's because you were not on the topic or it was clear and plain spam.

It can also be in self moderated thread, and here the only reason is the one provided by the creator of the thread.

Yea, good chance they were tagged as spam. Perhaps so that even the subject heading suggests that the posts you created are really similar to each other.

If all of your posts were just promoting your site then that's probably why.

If it was a self modded thread it would state so in the PM.

I didn't create the threads. I find questions to answer. This was, by far, the barest answer I had deleted. The rest were full answers with a link to my site suggesting more reading.

Here's the answer, the signature is the place you should advertise your site. From what I see in your recent posts, almost all of them are one-liners,I don't consider that helpful or substantial
~snip~
22. Advertising (this includes mining pools, gambling services, exchanges, shops, etc.) in others threads' is no longer allowed, including, but not limited to, in altcoin announcement threads. [8]

24. Advertisements in posts aren't allowed unless the post is in a thread you started and is really substantial and useful.[9][e]

Thanks. I'll refrain. I find it of that my actual link to helpful Bitcoin information gets moderated out for spam, but the Help & Beginner section can be flooded by sig campaign pumping, revivibg threads to pump post count, and get rich quick schemes.

Signature is the place one is supposed to advertise something, as long as your post isn't a series of insubstantial one-liners you should be fine.

No worries. It won't be a problem again. I'll take my help elsewhere. Good luck with your help section that does nothing for new users besides shill those shitty sig campaigns.
