The post I quoted can be deleted for low quality. That is fine. But, why the post that I made was deleted? Is that of low quality? Or posts quoting low quality posts also get deleted?
I have some tips for you:
When you find a trash topic, it is better for you to stay away from it and avoid commenting on that one.
It is better for some following reasons:
- A trash topic is vulnerable to be deleted by forum moderators and when it happens, your posts inside that topic will be automatically deleted too. In this case (topic deleted) you will not received delete message from the forum but your post count will fall down.
- Quoting a trash post and reply it probably result in delete by moderators (but honestly I just know it recently from what Welsh commented above). In this case (post deleted) you will receive forum message with (or without) comment from moderators on reasons why your posts deleted.
To sum up, avoid replying in trash posts or topics.
