Topic: How can identify off-topic?? (Read 168 times)
Basically if you are just reading the title of the thread and not reading the OP and the other posts chances are your post would be off-topic. So if you are the type of member where you just look for threads and post instantly without reading anything you would most likely have posts deleted from you since you are not contributing anything new to the topic being discussed. Best way to avoid this is to actually try to read posts and relate to it as much as possible without trying to imitate what others have said or try to answer any generic answers.
Please anyone help me to identify off-topic post... Recently I posted several post in signature but forum moderators deleted due to off-topic post?? Have any way to identify off-topic post??
From the word itself "off-topic" which means its totally irrelevant on the topic you are posting on.Moderators will surely delete or put it on trashcan and these post either been checked or seen by mods itself or being reported by other members of this forum.
To avoid for your post to be deleted then stay on topic and don't get being derailed to put up things which isn't related on what being
discussed about.Do this stuff and you would be safe.
Let me use your post ``off topic'' as case study of off topic. You asked about ways to identify off topic? And someone is posting about how to join bounties. Where will you categorized the post replies? Posting replies not relating or far way different from the topic been discussed are deleted as off topic
P.S. You made 2826 posts and got just 1 Merit! Wow, it's really bad. Did you came here just for bounties? You don't need to answer this question...
Impressive ratio of merit per post, at 1/2826. Just kidding, I want to add some points on off-topic posts:In my opinion, off-topic posts are the ones:
- Totally shitposts: one-lined, non-sense, spam
- Relates to issues that raise by OPs, but already answered/ solved by previous posts (it means when questions of OPs solved, your posts will become pointless if you repeatedly answer what others already answered in posts before yours)
- Completely not relate to issues that are discussing in threads
1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e]
2. No off-topic posts.
2. No off-topic posts.
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.

Well, word "off-topic" itself answers your question. You posted something what isn't related to specific topic. For example, if you posted bounty report somewhere in Bitcoin Discussion, it's off-topic obviously.
It would be easier to tell what exactly you did wrong if you would post quote of deleted post and link to thread where you posted.

Adding to the responses provided above, offtopic post has different interpretation from different moderators. Each moderator interpret spam report in the best way possible they can understand. Generally offtopic posts are posts which are offtopic (that's the simplest way possible to define it). Now when your post gets deleted, sometimes it could be as a result of duplicate or similar replys (that's a reply saying almost the same thing) in cases like this if the second post doesn't add any additional information to the discussion. Such post could be deleted if it's reported.
Secondly, when you qoute reply a post and your quoted post gets deleted, your reply will also be deleted as it serve no purpose on that discussion & could be considered offtopic. Finally, generic spam (posts stating the obvious) could be deleted if reported. You have to understand though, replies get deleted due to obvious spam, generic spam, irrelevant replies or offtopic. So if your post get deleted it must be due to any of these reason and not just offtopic. Also if you posted on a self moderates thread, the OP can delete your posts irrespective of it been a quality post.
I see you post mostly bounty reports. In my opinion those should not be removed especially as off-topic. Maybe they validated other forum rule and moderator set off-topic as a reason by mistake f.e:

Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. Existing threads will be locked.
Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.
Similar threads are already restricted to Games and Rounds in the non-altcoin sections, but the giveaway-related post volume is so high in the altcoin sections that I've decided to just ban them entirely here.

It’s would be better if you could post the content and the thread where you posted it, in order to give us a better idea of the issue. You can try to retrieve it from your drafts.Nevertheless, off-topic is what it stated, being not related to the core topic being treated in the thread. There is nothing particular to it, and not all off-topic posts get reported nor deleted. Nor are deleted posts all off-topic. There are weeks when I've seen three or four of mine deleted. Sucks after taking some time to write them, but there you go.
I don’t get what you mean by "I posted several post in signature". Ann threads?

Them not being related to the topic that's being talked about or overly rehashing previous answers. (Obviously)Looking at your post history i only see bounty reports and or things such as "Good project". These simply don't add any value or content to anyone reading them.
