Posts Getting Deleted

A while back I thought one of my posts got deleted.

It's happened again today.

Does this happen often? It seems to have happened to me twice now, who knows maybe this will be the third.

Whats the deal? Surely someone should at least tell you if they delete your posts? At least you would have an idea of what not to say on here. Right now I am left wondering.. maybe you not allowed to say anything negative about a certain backlink company is that it?

    That would be a reason - see Rule #1.

    Rule #1?
    Do you mean here

    To be honest, I wasn't slating anyone I just said I found them a shade unhelpful and asked about possible alternatives. I would be suprised if a post got deleted for that. I am also surprised I was not informed - they could have given a reason too because I still don't know why it was deleted - I am left guessing.

      Try here http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ing-forum.html

      and here http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...bers-read.html

      Also look at how many members there are here and how many posts are made each day.
      Do you really think with that type of volume, that every time a post is deleted the member should be told why?
      Don't you think if that was the case then the mods. would be wasting their time (remember they are volunteers not paid) arguing with everyone who had a post deleted and thought they shouldn't of been?

          When I was first becoming active here, I had posts deleted and felt the same as you.
          Then I did what I recommended you to do.
          Now I wonder why some of my posts aren't deleted

    Sometimes I wonder too why threads get deleted. I asked about feedback regarding a software solution for creating membership sites, and boom - it was deleted immediately. I was hoping to find out more about if it would be a good solution for what I was trying to do. Are you not allowed to discuss Brand X or Brand Z for doing a certain thing?
