I dont understand what Posts are allowed in the Off-Topic Forum what is allowed?

[Thomas29]

I have been given ZERO Explanation of how to not make "Posts that have to be Deleted" so how the heck am I supposed to know what Posts need to be Deleted since it says I can't Reply to this Email to get an answer or any Email. I'm New here and I don't know how or if it is even possible to Message a Moderator to figure this out. It just feels like participating in this Forum just to have my Posts Deleted without explanation. If you got time to Delete my POST YOU GOT TIME TO LET ME KNOW WHY

This topic belongs in Meta. Click 'move topic' in the bottom-left corner to move it.

It would help if you linked to the topic from which your post was deleted, but I suspect it was deleted because a mod decided it was a low-value post, or it was off-topic.

Mate, it's always cool if you format your text in right formats... Underling a full paragraph isn't cool at all... is it?
Imagine if everyone else here did the same for every post they make.

The reason is clear in the message that is sent in your inbox. The most common reason your replies are deleted because they are off topic

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.

Here are a few reasons your reply could be deleted

1. When replying to a topic, always ensure your reply is inline with what is in the Original Post. If the post is asking about what bitcoin mining is? Make sure you talk about what mining bitcoin is and not what the price of bitcoin is.

2. When replying, always make sure you have read the replies to avoid reputation of something that has already been discussed in the thread... Mods might think you are spamming to increase your post count and just delete your reply

3. Replying to very old threads that have been inactive for a very long time can also lead to deletion of your post.

Please make sure you read the forum rules if you want to learn more

OP, how many posts have you had deleted so far?  I suspect it isn't that many, since you haven't made that many so far.  A lot of members get some of their posts nuked for various reasons, and it's just something you have to accept--along with the fact that you won't get a more detailed explanation than what you received for the post you quoted here. 

There's been a lot of post reporting lately, and I bet Off-Topic has been one of the sections targeted simply because there's so much garbage being posted in it.  Somebody probably read your post and thought it was very low-value and reported it--and a moderator probably agreed with the assessment.  Just shrug it off and try to put a little more thought into your posts.  This isn't a forum where crappy posts are tolerated (although paradoxically there's no shortage of them), though I would think that Off-Topic might be a little more forgiving than some other sections.

Do you make a typo? I only heard about accounts nuked, but have not heard about posts nuked. So is it real?

Nope it's not a typo, to nuke can mean to erase completely, so to say a users post was nuked is actually correct, just that we're used to(on the forum)saying nuke for accounts and deleted for posts, the both words can even be interchanged and still be correct both syntactically and semantically.

OP: no need writing an "essay" to complain about your posts that got chalked off by a mod, just take it like a challenge to you to make better posts in the future that would not be qualified to be called off-topic post or replies.

I know that when accounts nuked, all posts will be deleted and those nuked accounts will have zero post, zero activity, but if they used to be high ranked accounts, their merits will stay. Sometimes we saw accounts with 100 merits but zero post, zero activity, they are nuked ones.

I suggest you to focus on post quality only and forget other things.
If you feel that you can contribute to some topic than join discussion and add your opinion.
Of course mods and other members can have different opinion about your post and can report it but it's life.
Just move on  and learn from it 😀

OP, how many posts have you had deleted so far?  I suspect it isn't that many, since you haven't made that many so far.  

According to BPIP,

Posts deleted by moderators: 3

So, not that big deal.

Anyhow, the quoted post was not made in Off-topic, but in  Bitcoin Discussion

If you got time to Delete my POST YOU GOT TIME TO LET ME KNOW WHY

This is not entirely true the mods have a lot of work on their hands with the amount of spam on the forum right now, and do not really need to offer a detailed explanation specific to every deleted post.

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.

Off topic is the most common reason for deleted posts, but as stated there could be other reasons.

^Already answer was found here for the OP's question, so no need to discuss further and OP don't worry about that deleted post which is not anything new or informative to the forum community.

[philipma1957]

I have had more then 100 posts deleted.(out of 30,000+)  Sometimes I disagree with the mod,but rarely.

Sometime I post a reply knowing it will be deleted.  I do this when someone  makes a thread that is in the wrong spot I report the thread and give  a reply to the thread starter explaining why I posted and why thread should be move.

I also  some times tell a thread starter that  his post is in rules violation  very often the thread gets deleted along with my post.

But every once in a while I argue over a deleted post with a mod.  once in a while he may agree and allow it to repost. More often then not it stays deleted.

I felt that dude however your question is answered already. Even on off topic thread which is the simpliest way to increase your post as a beginner (for me), they deleted unrealable post. I understand its quite frustrating when ur post is deleted on off topic like what now? I just answered a question? But what’s important ks it should relate to the OP. But dont feel bad about it, we all gone through that.

The Pharmacist is likely referring to Nuking as deleting in this case. Posts aren't nuked in the same way as accounts are nuked. If an account is nuked then they are banned permanently, and have all of their posts removed.

This is something i have experienced in this forum many times. Most of the times i don't have the slightest idea why something gets deleted, as they don't write even a single word for the reason (except one time the mod made a mistake and told me to re-post it), so one could learn to avoid making the same mistake (whatever it was) again...

Sometimes it is guessable, but often its not. I feel that reporting to admin would bother Theymos too much so i refrain from doing it, but sometimes its tempting because it can be so random when it comes...

I guess this is a "who watches the watchers" kind of situation, but its not the end of the world. I just let it go and move on.
