The wall observer thread is self moderated so it is possible, depending on when the posts were deleted that the OP of the thread had deleted the posts, although the OP of the wall observer thread has not been online for a few days.
I understand that there are quite a good number of spam bots that try to post referral and other links on the forum, and that a good number of newbie accounts are nuked every day for this (and have their posts deleted). I would speculate that this is the most common reason for posts to be deleted when measuring by volume of posts.
I would say that the most common reason for a post to be deleted by a moderator posted by a more established (non-newbie) account would be that the post is off-topic or replied to an off topic post (which would also make it off topic).
I don't think a lot of insubstantial posts end up getting deleted, the accounts just end up getting banned.

Random posts are being deleted without explanation from the "Wall Observer" thread and perhaps other places. The deletion messages have no explanations and say
Wild guess: the user name "Bitcoin_Forum" has admin privileges by default, and someone just created that account.

Thats a mod deleting your post, the name of the mod does not show. The most common reason is spam.
