Why was my post deleted?

[taskly]

So the application of rules is subjective. ... If you don't stand for objectivity, ...

The enforcement of the rules has some degree of interpretation and is influenced by the limited amount of resources available to do so. Of course we believe in objectivity, but we haven't exactly developed an automated moderator that is sufficient. Most of the "rules" are just guidelines anyways, but they're something we as a community enforce and the moderators are no different.

You're making way too big of a deal about a deleted post and acting as though it was a personal slight.

Side-Note: Walls of text don't mean the post is good, there is art in brevity and sometimes people don't care to read your ramblings; I'd know.

It's hardly a rule if the application of it is subjective and the rules aren't set in stone. Using that logic, I haven't broken any rules.

Lock the thread. Post your essay again without the ad. Don't go full cryptohunter for one deleted post.

It can't be an essay without a solution.

A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted.

I'm curious to see what people think about this.

That was the final sentence at the end of a post.

Why have you snipped this bit out? Was that in the original post or another post added right after it? If so, then that's why. If it contained the advertising link as suggested above then that's probably why.

Your post is low quality according to below consensus of community. It has nothing to do with post length and grammar.

That's a subjective interpretation. Not based on anything hard-pressed. I would prefer the rules be enforced on an objective and factual basis.

Any person who is tasked with enforcing laws or rules does so from a subjective interpretation. How many times do fans and referees disagree on whether something was a foul or not? Some referees would have given the foul whilst some wouldn't. Rules are there as a guide and moderators enforce them as they see fit and as best they can. Sometimes leeway should be allowed. Would you prefer it if a cop gave you a speeding ticket for going one mile over the speed limit? I mean, if we're going by strict rules then you deserve the ticket. Or he could let you off. Same applies here. Not everything is always black and white. Some mods may disagree on something whilst others may agree.

Tell yourself that.

It follows the correct structure of an essay.

I don't want to talk about something that is entirely irrelevant, but it's legal to go a few kilometres above speedlimit (in the range of margin error). That renders the one-mile over the speed limit logic invalid.

Good.
You don't appear to have learned anything, having just posted another content free bump on your main thread <~4 hours after your previous post.

Why are you cherry picking my sentences?

The full sentence was "I don't want to talk about something that is entirely irrelevant, but it's legal to go a few kilometres above speedlimit (in the range of margin error)."

This was in the context of discussion of a police comparison. Not the implication that your cherry-picked quote suggests.

Then if it was posted directly after the op then it was probably removed for either being a consecutive post, an illegal bump, or just pointless/unnecessary.

It's wholly relevant. Then what if that person goes one mile over the allowed margin of error? Instant ticket with absolute no chance of getting out of it? What about the sport example? One referee (or moderator) may think something is ok whilst another may not. Whether something is a foul in a sport or not is down to the referee. Some are clear cut and other's aren't. From one angle something may look like a foul but not from another. Spectators sometimes have a better or worse angle than the referee and as such may also disagree. Mods are people and not a connected hive mind and enforce the rules as best they can. Sometimes they make mistakes and sometimes people don't like it, but that's life.

Anyway, regardless of any analogies (relevant or not), your post was probably removed for one of the reasons I stated above so it's best to read the rules to make sure this doesn't happen again.

It was in the original post. If it was irrelevant, why not snippet out the part that is irrelevant than destroy the entire thread? Totally counterproductive.

It wasn't "cherry picking" in order to distort, it was a suggestion of a course of action you might contemplate taking, that's if you don't want to come across as a whingeing and self righteous moaner who doesn't know when to shut up.
Not the best of impressions for a would be project developer to leave.

How is a 10+ paragraph post 'low quality'?

Head on over to the off topic board, there is a 700+ page thread on a flat earth that is almost entirely low/no value!

It's not the length of the post that matters its the size of the post hole that really matters!!

@Tasky your post deleted may have things for forum security or something else.

Where should we focus for 2019? No matter how you look at it, 2018 was a horrible year for the entire cryptocurrency scene. Bitcoin was at the forefront of all of this. Frankly, it doesn’t matter what top 100 market cap coin you’re invested in. The price movements between the coins correlate massively. You can see this by observing the entire market cap. There is no such thing as pure diversification in cryptocurrency.

The events of 2018 have destroyed the trust of many. There is apparent manipulation. There is a lack of spending within the cryptocurrency economy. There is a lack of production within the cryptocurrency economy. The price movements have been entirely driven up due to manipulation from a select few. This speculation is foolish and it has done no good for the cryptocurrency community.

In what ways are we actually better off from the substantial rise in price? We’ve seen companies refuse cryptocurrency as a payment option. People have stupidly bought into the hype. There has been losses attributed to cryptocurrency. The news coverage has never been more bleak.

It’s easy to blame external forces. Blame the government. Blame the federal reserve. Blame what you want. It does nothing to solve the fundamental problems that cryptocurrency has. I believe the problem isn’t with the government. The issue has everything to do with ourselves and cryptocurrency itself.

In its current form, to call cryptocurrency a ‘currency’ is a stretch. There was a $600 billion speculation on the entirety of cryptocurrency. The actual exchange of goods and services using cryptocurrency wouldn’t even be 10% of that. Who is actually using cryptocurrency as a ‘currency’? Let’s be honest, nobody but a dedicated few. Most people are in cryptocurrency to make a short-term profit. So much for Bitcoin taking over the world. The people who use cryptocurrency want to sell out for USD, the allegedly doomed currency.

The increase in market cap was entirely down to speculation. We’re supposed to be against stupid bubbles. Bitcoin was itself a response to the 2008 Financial Crisis caused by the pumping of the real estate bubble. The boom and bust cycle does nothing for real growth. Indexed, we’re only marginally better off than we were in 2008. In regards to the cryptocurrency economy, the same applies.

The responsible way to develop the cryptocurrency economy is to look at the fundamentals. People are too focused on unrealistic and frivolous projects to grow the cryptocurrency economy. I embrace the knowledge economy wholeheartedly, but not at the expense of the production, resource or service economy. These basics have been overlooked by the cryptocurrency sphere. Why do we need 50 coins (forks) which do the same thing? There are plenty of coins pegged to a USD in the CoinMarketCap 100. There are plenty of coins which do the same task as Bitcoin. In what way do these so-called projects increase the practical reach of cryptocurrency into the lives of people?

We have to be realistic and practical about the issues cryptocurrency faces. The ideology of sitting on your thumbs, doing nothing, has failed us. Passiveness is a failure. By no means am I advocating for central-planning or economically authoritarian measures. I’m advocating for fundamental capitalist principles. Supply and demand. The needs of consumers. The development of an economy. The richest economies on earth are capitalist, yet they have rules. By no means are these countries a failure.

If we want a reasonable increase in market cap, cryptocurrency needs to accommodate for goods and services. It needs to function like an economy. Fortunately we have solutions that already address the issue of goods. A good example being OpenBazaar. The issue of services is more mucky. I believe we need to prioritise services over goods. Most goods sold aren't done on a business-to-consumer basis. It's largely business-to-business. Where cryptocurrency can gain its own value is by service creation.

Service creation is a no-brainer for cryptocurrency. We can improve the value of cryptocurrency by simply expending time and energy to create utility. People will request services, they will be rendered, this will increase the value. As the quality and category of work improves, the value will too. As jobs will require more knowledge and effort, we will see this reflected in the overall price and size of the cryptocurrency economy. This doesn’t require the flooding of dollars to pump up the market. It requires ingenuity and the hard-work of others. The resource that the cryptocurrency will be fundamentally based on is people. This will make it independent and stronger than currencies like USD which is heavily dependent on debt than resources or manufacturing.

Not only does rendering services create value, it will inspire people to better themselves to create quality products. They will utilise skills the have and offer them. If you can do the job, you're part of the solution.

The type of work needs to be based in the real world. The digital gig economy is severely limited in categories and scope. Where can you find a person to walk your dog? Where can you find someone to mow your lawns? Where can you find a mechanic? It's most certainly not on a website like Fiverr or Freelancer. It's not even an option online, aside from some classified boards.

When applied on a global scale, services and cryptocurrency has the fundamental power to change the economy of the world.

Why was my post deleted?

Your post was deleted because a moderator deleted it. Only the moderator knows why they deleted it, but you have been provided with several possibilities:

Low Quality / Spam (Your subjective judgement of your own post is irrelevant)
Bumping too frequently
Advertising

There is no need to repeat your already answered question. If you dislike these reasons you will have to swallow it or petition moderators to change their behavior.

You're wasting everyone's time. You're asking a question that's already been answered and so I compiled all of the answers and put them in bold so that it's easier for you to understand; it went over your head the first time, clearly.

I didn't post here to be lectured by someone who appeals to authority

No, but you did post here as an appeal to authority yourself.

You have a bad attitude and should just lock the thread. Move on and reflect on the responses you've received. I never claimed I was staff, but continue telling me what to do.
