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

what is NSFW content?

REALLY !
Let google show you the way !

I hope It doesn't mean a different thing here... NSFW==not safe for work..

Please what do u mean by referral code?

Type "what is referral code" in Google.

First answer: A referral code is a unique identifier made up of letters and/or numbers that businesses give to customers or users so they can share it with others to receive rewards. Referral codes are usually part of a refer-a-friend program, where customers get rewarded for referring new customers to the business.

These type of posts are forbidden in the forum.

For example you can discuss a gambling site but you can't share your referral link in the post. You can use your signature space for that though.

I due appreciate this level of details explanation because it make it more clear for everyone to understand, because for me I felt that many who complained of removal of their post or they received message of their Post been deleted lack understanding of the some rules guiding the forum , because as clear as these statements just as you stated one Falling victim of it I may not considered it as ignorance but intentional act and failure to give attention to detail.

So I think yes, reporting these posts is the way to go and all moderators should delete such content, even of the forum rules are "unofficial", and you are totally correct that these messages can harm the forum (but not if they're removed consistently). Such announcements pop up every now and then in (mostly local) sections. I would report them even if they were related in some way to Bitcoin (e.g. someone selling hacked CEX accounts).

I reported the message to moderators (writing in English this time to underline the "global relevance" of the issue).
It was gone in a few hours. Even if I don't know who materially deleted the posts.
Apparently, it was the right thing to do.
Thanks for the feedback.

In the Italian board appeared a message that is plain illegal:

This case is clearly covered by the following forum rule:

17. Trading of goods that are illegal in the seller's or buyer's country is forbidden. [2]

In the Italian board appeared a message that is plain illegal:

Basically the user wanted to see bank accounts, opened by figurehead or fake identities.
This is illegal on so many ways, but this is not the point.
The point is such illegal activity, totally unrelated to bitcoin, can be detrimental to the forum itself.
After some thoughtful considerations, I reported the message to the moderator, and it is now gone.
I don't know which moderator removed it, but apparently reporting it was a good choice.
Any thought about this?

Forum is a very popular site now. This site now has 3-4 thousand posts per day with many people working on it. So now we have so many of their posts well seen by moderators or encourage them to do more. So that they become more motivated in this work, their work will be better. So we should give good instructions in the lower posts.

while doing these things we should also refrain from lower posts and use politeness in every post. So that he can learn a lot from us in the morning. There is no money to invest here, there are no fraudulent opportunities here, we have a lot to learn from here.

Report any kind of incivility here to the moderator) (By doing these things we will get social knowledge and civility among us.

What should we do as new members? Of course, we are sensitive to the forum's policy. We are obliged to abide by the policy. But the policy towards new members should not be too strict. So that they can survive here.

As a new member you must follow the rules of this forum no irrelevant posts can be made. Can't be scanned in any way. You should try to give good quality posts so that the quality of your posts will improve a lot. Try to be active in the forum regularly and try to give good quality posts so that your positivity increases. If you post in a wrong place then surely he will always sit to find the post wrong so try to create good quality post so that your positivity increases.

You make some fair points about netiquette that people should try to follow on forums. But we also wanna let folks speak freely here as much as we can. This place aims to give members room to share views openly and debate stuff. Sure we got some basics in place - cant have anyone harassing others.

We need to strike the right balance between keeping things respectful but not feeling too strict neither. People should feel welcome to say their piece, even forcefully, so long as they dont get personal or nasty. Some arguments gonna happen but we trust members to police themselves mostly. If things go over the line, mods can step in.

That’s truly great news, except moderators not answering defamation and false acusations, it’s not allowed to just abundant make up information about users or associated users with projects that they simply developed.

Please self—moderate your thread and you can moderate it how you like.

What i notice so far about some users in this forum is: the forum perspectives already gives rooms to users to communicate, discuss, informate on Bitcoin structures and revenue services but why will some users who are already getting too greedy on this site are mostly blasphemy new users.

Any post that threatens the reputation of the forum should be cut off,judgment to address the respondents behavior directly.
Room checking,introduction,running clock,conduct discussions and end of session makes a perfect policy.....

Allow me to offer a well-intentioned suggestion: just refrain from spamming the forum and you'll be fine. If you have any particular concern or uncertainties regarding the forum's moderation policy, I recommend creating a new topic in the Meta section. This particular topic is not suitable for discussing your individual case.

I still don't know the whole picture, but from what I've gathered so far, it seems that you're refusing to directly address their concerns and instead, you're looking for a way out of the situation ^{[this is how it appears from the outside]}, but that's not going to work here:

Q: Do you moderate/delete (possible) FUD, accusations and untrue information?
A: No. We don't have enough time to check every single piece of information and verify the validity of the sources. Also, just like scams - too much room for bias and abuse.
