My posts are now being deleted without reason, 5 already. Everything I post.
No name given as to who, OR reason as to why.
Even replies to my own threads, so I'm on my own topic, are being removed.

there probably is a reason you can start a meta thread and get the attention of the moderator who deleted your posts and he will probably give you a explanation.

please pay some attention here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/alert-bitcointalkorg-is-a-reign-of-terror-945013
there are tons of offtopic in spreadcoin topic and mods don't remove it

It take some time to get into the action but if you want a fast re-action from mod, report the post by clicking 'Report to moderator' situated at bottom-right. There is a high chance that the spams near to the reported one getting deleted.

There is no user Bitcoin Forum. That message is automated. Next time if you have question about your deleted post, post in Meta or PM to Global Moderators.

Thanks for the info. Reminder - the PM I received included an unresponsive link that said "Reply to this PM here", with no other instructions about recourse.

I am baffled. I got a PM, apparently from "Bitcoin Forum on Bitcoin Forum" It says:

Quote from: falsealarm_bf on October 08, 2014, 07:26:15 PM

Aigeezer, is that Alan Turing or Joseph Goebbels in your avatar? The latter could do wonders for our Darkcoin marketing, taking it to a whole new level

Heh. It is Turing.

It included a link that said "Reply to this PM here". I drafted this reply:

-- draft reply start --

I do not understand why my reply was deleted. Please explain so that I can "In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted."

From my perspective, I replied honestly and as briefly as I could to an annoying question directly addressed to me. Hard to avoid! I see that the question remains untouched on the site - making it appear that I never answered.

Thanks

-- draft reply end --

When I pressed "send" I got this in response: "User 'Bitcoin Forum' has blocked your personal message."

Now what?

Edit: Update, some 15 hours later. In the absence of any moderator feedback/explanation, I have answered the original question again: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9152190

Sorry to ask, I read in a topic by a staff(if I am right) that posts containing just '+1' or similar to it are considered as spam. So is the above post considered as scam? If it is, why isn't it deleted?

A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted.

Unfortunately that is not the only deleted post I had. And it was always unfair from my perspective.

I'm looking forward to a betterment of OUR forum.

Thank you.

IMO, such posts are considered as spam. Try to avoid such posts.
Kindly,

It's unfair. You keep deleting my posts while I do not consider them off-topic at all, while I see so many off-topic posts everywhere on this forum being preserved. What are your OBJECTIVE PARAMETERS here?

An example, I have just sent a post to an OFF-TOPIC thread, with the intention to demonstrate appreciation in a funny way, because indeed, I like and I find it funny whenever I see that OP's (in that regarded thread) frequent (and also, some times off-topic, but whatever) comment:

reminds me the tv movie called "the wave"

An experiment in an American High School where students learn how easy it is to be seduced by the same social forces which led to the horrors of Nazi Germany. Based on a true story.

I dont know why you guys wont let people flag post.

The master coin thread is allowed to remain in the currency thread when all other alts have been moved. Looks to be favoritism to me.

Let the community police the thread.. instead of insiders playing games and giving favors to their buddies

It's called the report to moderator feature. People don't use it to their benefit.

FUN > ROI

Lately there have been quite a few posts made by two bitcoin mining hardware developers where they essentially attack each other.

While I'm all for some friendly competition, I think it lost the 'friendly' moniker a good while back, and lately their 'communication' has spilled out into unrelated threads, with each having supporters who make follow-up posts that escalate the situation.

They know who they are. The mods probably know who they are. And, sadly, more and more people are becoming aware of who they are in a negative sense

HEy Hey HEY??

Is there some kind of reward or benefit you get by reporting bad posts? if no, then i think that there should be a mechanism that rewards the people who report the off topic posts.

Who is competent to decide whether this is off-topic or not?

The mods and bitcointalk staff are competent for that and they use common sense

I see a lot of off-topic replies. I will report them when my account gets bigger and I don't have 6-10 minutes limit.

Here are too many posts that does not add any valuable information to the people! I don't understand why they even leave them

I find that ironic since you just pretty much just copy and pasted one of my replies in another thread:

Quote from: hilariousandco on February 24, 2014, 03:01:31 PM

I think most get moved there, especially when they're about its service problems. Maybe if the threads are about how the general gox fiasco affects other aspects of Bitcoin etc then they stay in the Bitcoin forum?

Quote from: tommygun90 on February 25, 2014, 01:53:11 AM

I suppose everything related to the the general gox fiasco that affects other aspects of Bitcoin could be posted

Off-topic replies have become a big problem. From now on, I will be deleting such replies without notice, forum-wide. If your replies disappear, this is probably why.

All replies must respond to the topic's original post in some way, even if they are replying to an on-topic reply. If your reply has nothing to do with the topic post, either add some content that is relevant or create a new topic.

Please report off-topic posts as soon as you see them.

Ye, i agree off-topic replies have become a big problem, but who arbitrates whats is on / off topic. Administrators feel like Mussolini in Italia or Kaddafi in Libya. They have the power which change their personality.
But i see it´s problem in most diskussion forums.
