Mod deleted post. Doesn't make sense why.

What do you do when that happens?
Is the mod del automated?
Is there any trigger words for auto deletion I should be aware of?

    There are posting rules and I imagine you broke one or more of them. I've had plenty of posts deleted myself, but in the scheme of things, it doesn't really matter.
    It's all part of forum life. so don't let it bother you.

      I think the mod should come forward and tell us what we did wrong.
      I always try to be polite and not do any sneaky advertisement or bad language. But for GS if the message gets deleted and the person have no clue why then at least have the decency to let them know why it was deleted and what to do to correct it.
      It is easy to for a moderator to see if the same post with a bit of tweaking was posted twice in an effort to apply to the rules.
      Otherwise it is a bit immature to just delete them like that.

    What do you do?
    You move on. Read the threads Alexa posted

    You broke a rule. Read the Forum Rules for a starter. Creating "Why Was My Thread Deleted" posts are also against the rules, as is reposting deleted posts.

    Yes, "why was my post deleted?" is one.

    Normally we don't do this, but I looked at the thread that was deleted and I can see why it was deleted.

    There were several reasons why it was deleted, but this paragraph that you wrote was the main reason why:

    Create a journey thread with a fresh domain for a money site and add a extremetracking counter to it that can be publicly accessed.
    Now here is the thing that will make you money:
    Add this as a kickstarter project.

    I will definitely add a contribution to your journey project and let us see how you do it. You could alternatively give access to your counter when you receive a donation.
    Encouraging people to create a "journey thread" is not allowed here because those types of posts belong on your Warrior Forum blog or on your own website.

    In your second paragraph you're telling people you will contribute to their "journey project". The Main Discussion forum is not the place for this. If you want to team up or JV with other members, you can check out the Mastermind forum or the Joint Venture forum, abiding by the rules in those forums, of course.

    While I did not delete your post, I can see why the other moderator did. We simply cannot allow those types of posts, otherwise people would be looking to team up in the Main Discussion forum and that's not what it's intended for.

    I hope this clarifies it for you.
