Why did a mod delete my posts from 7-2 months ago that didn't violate any rules?

[NomadTheSavior]

I just got on my bitcointalk account and saw I had a bunch of messages saying a mod deleted my posts from 7-2 months ago. None of these posts look like they violate any rules so I thought it was odd. Is there any reason for this?

If moderators are deleting your posts, it is becuase your posts is of low quality and spam. If you think your posts are not spam and of low quality, you can post them here with images to prove that.

Likely you were also given temporary ban which you might not know becuase you do not visit this forum with the around the time.

What rules are you talking about? Maybe sharing screenshots of some of the posts in question will go a long way, as it will help members here analyse what could be the possible reason for the deletion.
 
Sometimes the reason why your post is deleted might not be primarily you, but it could be as a result of the thread where you posted getting deleted entirely, and they won't leave your own post behind. Most times, it could also be that you quoted someone who has awakened a long dead thread, and the post is also considered to be of low quality. There is a possibility that both posts can get deleted.
 
Moderators don't just act for no reason, and people will also be the ones to call to their attention that the post is not qualified to be where you posted it to be, which will warrant those actions.

If you are really curious about which posts were deleted - then use ninjastic and get the answer. I can point to one of the OP's deleted posts - it looks like one-line spam without adding anything of value to the topic.

The fate of Bitcoin doesn't need to be determined, it's already going to be a success and it has seen huge success for years now.

Kids learn about a lot of useless stuff in school but bitcoin is something with actual use they can learn about. So I think it's a good thing if they learn about it.

Someone has reported your post for spam or possibly low quality - it seems correct so you just need to improve the quality. Don't complain just because you get a few posts deleted - moderators don't do it because they hate you and they don't report your posts because you're newbie. So make better improvements.

Why in the world would anyone start up a thread asking why a bunch of old posts got deleted, especially when those posts were obviously insignificant.  OP, did you think the forum wasn't going to survive without those posts that got buried beneath the avalanche of other garbage posts?

Or did you lose some activity points because of it?  That's the only real reason I can think of why this thread exists.  Answer that honestly.

For one to get a temporary ban, the delete spam post count has to be quite high, not just 14 deleted posts.

He has 14 deleted posts so far, perhaps he was shocked to see that all his garbage from the past was deleted in a quick succession. Either way I don't even see why he made a complaint about it yet it's pretty clear.

You are new and people don’t like short posts from new people.

I can stretch this post by explaining that even though both posts I looked at were honest answers. One was an opinion and I agree with it 100%.

So I will give you 2 merits.

Don’t worry about deletions I have had more then 500 of them. Many due to fast glib answers that people report most because of jealousy or angry about their own lives or the truth fullness in the reply I made.

For a newbie 14 posts is more than enough for the account get nuked, so he should be feeling lucky in my opinion.

Mods generally don't handle old posts for spams but every mod has their own way of handling it at the end of the day keeping the forum clean is their job.

[Despairo]

Posts from 7 days - 2 months are still new, you should be happy since the moderator will not clean posts 3 months old now. Before that, even your post were 5 years ago, the moderator will delete is as long as you broke the rule and someone report it.

Nuked is where the moderator will ban the user and delete all of his post, @OP is only broke low quality post rule, he will not get nuked/banned even he keep shitposting.

Right now the moderator become more friendly with users in this forum except you ban evading or commit plagiarism, it's a zero tolerance here.

AFAIK, if moderator consider most of the posts from a newbie is below the standard then the user will be nuked that means all the posts will be deleted which is completely different from handling all the reports manually.

[philipma1957]

The two that were linked to did apply to the thread. The biggest issue was they were short. If he was an established person I don’t think there would have been an issue.

I have been here a long time and have seen more then one mod be heavy handed in deleted and moving threads or posts.

So I have some sympathy for the op that is why I gave him his first merits.

[Despairo]

Can you show me which user get nuked due to one liner shitpost (not related to SEO spam, referral link, share malware, etc) in the last 2 years?

I completely understand there's a rule the moderator would ban for shitposting, but until now I don't find the reality of that rule.

If he was an established person I don’t think there would have been an issue.

Maybe yes, maybe not. But even an established person create one liner post, there's a point he wanted to say while @OP post is generic.

I don't have the examples too but that's opinion came from my understanding, and each moderator handle things in their own way so we can't expect same for everyone.

I am a bit confused by the title though. Is it me or is it a typo?
Op, you shouldn't get worried that few of your posts got deleted; just continue posting less one lined replies. I went through your post history and saw you contribute well but it will be more appreciated if you put more effort.
 
Post deletion happens to everyone here and it's even more upsetting when you are in a campaign and due to your posts getting deleted, you couldn't meet up the post counts.

Low quality posts are often reported by the users because they are mostly considered as spam by those users and when moderators get the reports and go through those posts and find them as spam as well then they delete those posts. Your post were one liner posts and most of the one liner posts are done by the new users because they want to increase their activity with those posts. But, like Philipma1957 has said that your posts weren't too bad, however, I still recommend you to expand your posts a little if you have more information about a topic.

It's not necessary to be extra knowledgeable to expand your posts from one liner to somewhat well structured. You just have to focus more on reading and it's really necessary to read as many posts in a thread as possible before making your posts. Look we all are here for the purpose of learning and then sharing our knowledge in the form of threads and replies and if someone knows more then that user can create well-structured posts.

It's reasonable to get him Temban or nuked for his rank since he has 14 deleted posts out of 24 total posts, which is already 50% garbage. Most newbies did not receive this kind of opportunity on a golden platter.  He got 2 merits for such a great question. Lol

My first post was deleted, in which I mentioned how beneficial it would have been if I had discovered this forum earlier. Had I found it sooner, I could have avoided several mistakes I unknowingly made. This forum offers a wealth of guides for staying safe online, information that would have prevented me from falling victim to cryptocurrency scams twice.

Screenshot of deletion I think it is automated deletion if forum have this type of feature.

The most common reason is your posts are spam, no value, off-topic and it is not accepted by forum rules.

Another reason is threads in which you posted, was deleted so all posts in those threads including yours, will be trashed too. In this deletion case, you will not get Deletion notification in your inbox.

1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e]

2. No off-topic posts.

I am in a campaign as my mining income is down. I also am in a campaign as I donate to multiple people on the forum.

So I normally do not care when I am deleted or if a thread is moved from a section my campaign won't pay.

I have been in this campaign for 5-6 weeks.

I made 500 plus posts only need 200 to get full pay. But 2 threads were moved to sections my campaign won't pay and I lost about 9 posts. Plus 1 thread was deleted so I lost 3 posts. And those 12 annoyed me as I am now being paid so that could cost me money.  That I am donating to various projects.

So I understand the op's annoyance. At op make them a bit longer as they were pretty much on point but short.

[LoyceV]

That's the risk of replying to a thread that is posted on the wrong board. But it shouldn't matter, you used to post because you want to, and I assume you still do that.

Plus 1 thread was deleted so I lost 3 posts. And those 12 annoyed me as I am now being paid so that could cost me money.

Most campaign managers check your new posts made in the past week, so deleting older posts reduces your total post count, but shouldn't affect your earnings. Unless the posts were created in the last week of course.
