I don't understand the forum policy on non-tech posting

[Jet Cash]

I seem to be having a number of my threads and post deleted, and it doesn't seem to be consistent with other threads and posts. For example, I commented on posters littering titles with blobby characters some time ago, and that has just been deleted. It's my personal view that they degrade the appearance of a board, and make the title difficult to read. Many may disagree with me, but is it wrong for me to comment on it? Also, my English sense of humour doesn't seem to be appreciated. Does the forum want non-technical topics, or should I just stick to technical topics, which are obviously the most important part of Bitcoin Talk.

post some links..it is impossible to tell why that was deleted by not seeing it.However, it depends on the person handling it ,go read rule no 23.

Well it looks as if a lot of those threads have been deleted, so I guess the mods agree with me. That makes it surprising that my post was deleted, unless it was because it was no longer relevant, but then I would have thought that the associated PM would have stated that.

The tech. information and discussions here are very valuable to me as a relative newbie, and I feel that if I keep getting posts deleted, then I risk a ban or suspension. I'm coming to the conclusion that I should keep quiet, and only contribute to the technical discussions.

I dont know bout that,last time a user Japa was posting some important/useful technical details and i couldn't find his thread when i needed.I think someone in staff does not likes excess technical stuff.

Japa was just dumping links and other data. It was hardly usefull at the end, hence the thread was deleted. AFAIK they are banned.

@Jet Cash: comments about where a thread should be or that its against the rules can be see as "offtopic to the thread" which would allow mods to remove those posts. I tend to just report the thread/post in question and unwatch it (or dont watch it in the first place).

Humour is indeed difficult in an online environment and sometimes jokes get removed. I wouldnt bother about that too much unless you have posts removed constantly or in high numbers.
