Can anyone give a good reason why deleting a topic would be more appropriate to just lock it
If a thread is deleted, spammers hopefully cannot use it to claim rewards in signature and similar campaigns. 
Topic: Forum moderation policy - page 13. (Read 1084013 times)
I'm not afraid of censorship, when done, well, censorship. I remember when I could not judge whether mods were doing their job well. I can not judge myself if I agree a topic is out of stock if it is deleted.
Mods, if you feel you need to close a thread down, why not just lock it? Some other forums have a "trash" section where the "deleted" topic goes, is still available to read, but does not clutter the main forum. Perhaps this would be something to look at here?

The policy to not remove anything worked when the forum was small. Now that we have thousands of posts a day, we can't afford 50% of them being junk. The moderators are now instructed to be less tolerant of low-value posts.
Some guidelines:
1. Free speech - you can say anything as long as it is relevant and presented in a calm and polite manner. Swearing, SHOUTING etc. make your post more likely to be removed.
2. No zero value posts or threads, like "SELL SELL SELL"
3. No pointless or uninteresting threads.
4. No referral code spam
5. No NSFW content

How is the value of a post evaluated?
I very well could have, but since I just joined the forum...I wanted to make my first post. Had to do it sometime so why not ask a stupid question. It seems others do it. Also, others ask nonstupid questions that a google search will provide answers for.
I wonder what is the definition of low value. Value is relative. to one person it might be of high value and relevant while to another it might be of no value.
I am politely asking people for opinions and comments on my thread. I am not telling them to invest or buy my shares. I think it is closer to a survey. If they do not like it they can write back to me directly. I do not use any bots or other automated systems.
Why some posts are deleted, even they show the emotions about the problem of some discussion?
We all know why so much spam. Answer: subscription companies. When a person has an assignment to write 10 to 15 messages a week, he does not think much about the value of the message. No subscriptions = no spam.
Well the whole post would make sense if you just remove that phrase altogether and not try to give fake "free speech":
1. You can say anything as long as it is relevant and presented in a calm and polite manner. Swearing, SHOUTING etc. make your post more likely to be removed.
2. No zero value posts or threads, like "SELL SELL SELL"
3. No pointless or uninteresting threads.
4. No referral code spam
5. No NSFW content

Strangely, I personally did not face moderation, apparently I did not leave any controversial reports. And all my friends did not have a negative experience of moderation.

hey some thread start as a silly questions for newbie and jr members ( like me ) and its ok because higher rank member will in most of the time answer them in just the first page and max 2nd / 3rd page but what is nonsense and unacceptable is that some of those topic become the shit posters favorite place with more than 50 or 100 page ( how ik ? because i posted on them and even after few days i just keep seeing them on my watch list and it become annoying ) so why people dont lock those huge post ? also can we report them to moderators so they lock them ? and what should we say as description Some guidelines:
3. No pointless or uninteresting threads.
True. Problem is, most of this forum is entertaining in one way or another, I'm only here three weeks (2 lurking) and I'm already trying to kick the habit
We all know that this forum gives us excitement day by day by making our post apprechable, but think twice your post.. True. Problem is, most of this forum is entertaining in one way or another, I'm only here three weeks (2 lurking) and I'm already trying to kick the habit
The good of this forum is you learned something and you improved your speech in english, but you must aware of guidelines of this forum.. "lot of crap falling from the skiy these days"
what about a "last edited %CLOCK%" function for edited posts?
What if you qoute it last week then the followed week you qoute it again without any intention, what is the sunction of it... what about a "last edited %CLOCK%" function for edited posts?
This is a great new implementation by bitcoin organisation to implement this new rule. There is just too much cyber junk floating around in bitcoin. Now at least the bad posters will have a reason to stop.

Why should we give warnings to people who can't read rules? Copy and pasting = a permanent ban. Everybody knows plagiarising is unacceptable and there's no excuses for it.
I'm new here. Now I know but I can not use my account. you could have given a warning. but I was given a ban. I think this is not normal. It could be banned for several days, but here forever.

can for the first time a warning. I did not know that I violated the rules.
You should have read the rules but you should know that plagiarism isn't acceptable.
