No I'm just trying to figure out why the post are getting deleted.

I've been warned for spam now. I just want a simple answer and no one will give me one they just delete the post and write me up.

I simply asked where a topic (by someone else) was from this morning. That one was deleted.

I posted about that getting deleted, a couple replies later that one was deleted.

So I post again, and it was deleted.

I know this is making me look like a pest, but I just want an answer.

Why no one can just answer my question is beyond me.

If you posted a deal, do a search to see if it got moved. It may have been a repost. But, if you ask in a deal thread about a post getting deleted, that will get deleted too. It's off topic. This is the right place to ask about things like that.

The reason why your posts count went down was because when a thread gets deleted all of the posts go with it. So lets say you had posted 5 times in there and that thread got deleted, there go all of those 5 posts along with it. Secondly, we have rules that say... Do not start threads about "why was my thread deleted." Private message a mod to resolve the issue."
We get tons of what we call "one posts wonders" who register and spam our boards with their referral links, and often when their threads get deleted they come back asking "why did my thread get deleted?!?!?!".....being that you are a new poster, other memebers probably thought that you are a spammer (thats why they gave you a hard time) and/or the mods just weed out the "why was my thread deleted" threads, thats why it is better to PM a mod and ask about it.

I just looked at the thread and it appears that the thread was deleted because the deal for that projector seemed to be offered a company that doesn't have a reputation and only accepts paypal. Often times the mods with the help of our members read thru the threads and get rid of deals that seem like scams in order to protect our members from fraud.

PM me for more info.
