Did either of you guys go through the thread?
The entire thread is meaningless platitude after platitude.
Plenty of newbies just saying "good luck" are STILL THERE.
So explain to me why my 2 sentence post is gone but theirs remains?
If you feel that those persons are not following the rules, than report them.... In regards to your deleted post: if a post is deleted by a mod you get the reason why it is deleted. Check the reason and learn from it. You can think that you haven't done anything wrong, and make the same misstake twice and risk being banned. Or learn from it and change your post behaviour.
I'm not going to spend my time reporting 100 posts. But by all means, perhaps you should since that seems to matter to you rather than telling me why my post was singled out. Link to thread is in original post.
the pm telling me my post was deleted was completely generic and there was no way to reply to it to get more details.
And staff aren't going to waste time removing hundreds of posts either especially when you or anyone else can't be bothered to report them. It's incredibly tedious and time consuming to remove hundreds of posts and I've personally got better things to be doing, but I'll tell you why you may feel your post was 'singled' out and removed. Maybe someone just reported that post and it was handled. If there's no other info in the report urging the mod to check the rest of the thread then the other posts could go unnoticed. You're also a Newbie and pretty much every mod can handle reports on Newbies whilst they can't if the user is a higher rank in a sub that is not under their jurisdiction.
To be honest, that entire section should just be either nuked or made so posts don't count towards activity and post count because posts like yours contribute absolutely nothing and are pure spam and many people are in fact only making them to farm accounts en mass in some cases.
