Why do moderators take down posts that are not off topic ?

[FinneysTrueVision]

You did not give any specific examples, but from what I have seen, posts can get moved to the off-topic section because they don’t serve any meaningful purpose and are only used by people wanting to boost their post count.

Every once in a while, I will report a thread or post for being off-topic when it is obvious that the author placed it in a section where it doesn’t quite fit because they otherwise wouldn’t get paid if it was made in the off-topic or politics section.

Threads will be moved to Off-topic if moderators consider those threads like this and moderators move threads to Off-topic board, not move seperating posts to Off-topic board. If your post is in a thread that is considered as "Other topics that might be of interest to bitcoiners", your post will be moved to Off-topic board as a consequence of that thread move to this board.

Off-topic - "Other topics that might be of interest to bitcoiners"

I'm totally In support of moving posts that are digressing from the discussion of a particular board if it was posted there, posts like that should be moved to off topic, it shows that an eye is kept on everything being posted and the writers would be more careful next time but In a case whereby it synchronizes with what is being discussed in that board why would it be removed?

That's impossible to say without seeing the post in question, and sometimes not even after seeing it.  

By the way, where exactlty was post in question moved?

I guess it's not based on the level or amount of merit the user has.

No.

Check his tag. Everything will become clear at once.

You speak as if there is no level to which one would change or improve.

Were you not yourself once banned on this forum ? Or am I the only user who at first used AI then later improve in terms of writing here in the community cause I have seen a lot of people. And for your information CHANGE IS CONSTANT so don't always conclude due to current situation.

Most of the DT guys here are found of tagging and not reviewing the tag later to see if the person have improved or adjusted and am sure this same jokers10 who tagged me is doing same and how is that fair. Because am very certain that I have improved my posting ability and yet nothing. But it's okay , the community is filled these as I have come to notice

It will only add to the works of forum admin. Let’s just be cautious on what topics to post or to respond so that we won’t end up posting some off-topics. Even myself I also end up posting some off-topics sometimes but instead of seeing that negatively, I made it my motivation to learn and grow more in the forum so that threads that are off-topics will be easily avoided.

Bitcointalk is an innovative platform that gives space for everyone to learn and also teach others what they know, no one is an island of knowledge, we are all learning from each other.

Teach others only if you are knowledgeable and have insights to teach and help them. Don't try to teach anyone when you are a newbie and have very limited knowledge or even misunderstanding about things you are teaching others.

If you try to do this, your posts are very likely useless and deserves to be deleted by moderators.

theymos wrote Forum welcome message which is helpful for you and other newbies.

In some cases I've seen newbies behaviors in the forum, most of them are never submissive that they're newbies and stick to learning from others who'd been here before them instead, they'd want to act like experienced users.
They literally don't understand the phrase that "reading" has a proficient educative offers the  "posting" in the case of being a newbie.
How do you even think you can teach anyone what you've no knowledge about and think you'll be in line of the topic of not talking rubbish?
Can imagine the forum without moderators would lost it reliable quality of posts if irrelevant post aren't whipped off.
I don't also think the Mod will trash newbies post when it carries qualities that could help others.

The forum rules exist for a reason but most people skim right through them. If your posts keep getting flagged or removed, take 10 minutes to actually read the guidelines instead of complaining. NGMI if you try to shortcut the system with AI content or off-topic posts. Save yourself the headache and just review the rules first (General advice, not a take on nobody.)
