Thanks for all your feedback, although none of us know for sure what the problem is. But since the admin has undeleted the thread I mean, then I think this thread deserves to be locked now.
Anyways I don't expect the mod or whoever reported the donation thread to provide an explanation here why it was removed or reported, but honestly I'm wondering about this. About the donation thread, it is worthy to be in the forum because of its noble cause. It should be the same with several other donation threads including the Pakistan floods as well as others. Thank you to the admin for canceling the deletion of the donation thread.
Topic: Why was the Turkey donation thread deleted? (Read 225 times)
Probably because most of these topics were scams. With some trying to make a profit at the cost of other people's disgrace. Now, I don't know if it's strictly forbidden on the forum, but it's something that should be done very carefully.
I am not saying that this is your case! I do not think so! Just justifying what happened. But it's just my opinion, which could be wrong.
yes, many are taking advantage of this, times are getting harder to make money to against the threat of recession and inflation. For example, opening donations for disaster victims. I am not saying that this is your case! I do not think so! Just justifying what happened. But it's just my opinion, which could be wrong.
Like covid, there are many institutions in my country was opened donations in past, but until now, I never heard they distribute it, when we check the account bank, there was empty, and we don't know where the money had gone.
Could be wrong board when making topic about Turkey donation? I have two viewed about Turkey donation thread have been deleted between as scam or people try to get advantage from Turkey earthquake and some people have real donation opening. We are so sad heard what happen in Turkey and exactly with how many people was pass away until one day later after earthquake, possibility with many people will pass away because many of them still have not been evacuated.
Better with donation for Turkey opening by local board moderator from Turkey, there are less from scamming and possibility they know more about what happen in their country. Maybe better solution how to make thread about Turkey donation keep existing here and need transparent after donating collected.

Here is one more thread about the Turkey donation, it seems to me that the same (regular) links are inside.
[EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT] Donation For Earthquake Disaster in Turkey!
[EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT] Donation For Earthquake Disaster in Turkey!
As far as modding blunders go, deleting a relief & rescue fund thread which was opened with the best of intentions and does not even collect any funds but merely lists the crypto addresses of the top Turkish NGO dealing with the unprecedented double Earthquake disaster right now should be as bad as it gets.
@theymos should remove the psychotic mod in question (unless he has a very valid apology and made an honest procedural mistake), and also disclose the owner of the disastrous decision with appropriate tags so everyone knows that they are dealing with a very bad actor...
If the original thread was opened in the same place as the restored version: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/donation-a-donation-campaign-for-the-natural-disaster-happened-in-turkey-5438361, then there are 2 mods overseeing that section: @Cyrus and @hilariousandco, to protect the innocence of the staff members who didn't commit the evil blunder, I think the mod at fault should be immediately made known to public.
Thanks to @EFS for bringing this matter to public attention and keeping some semblance of sanity in this weird place...

Finally it is now restored now. I checked the bep20 and erc20. It's more than $1.5 million worth of alts and tokens already in the past 11 hours. A good move from crypto community when it comes to donation drive. But expects scam attempts will show later on. That's why mods are wary of this donation threads without any verified sources from the said organizations.
Those threads are very similar. I don't understand why there is a different approach to that thread. Anyway, the thread is restored second time. Thank you theymos.
I also don't understand that there is a different approach for the two threads [both donation threads], but I don't want to speculate too much about deleting and restoring thread. As I said, the mod who handles the report may have his own interpretation of the decision-making, and the user who reports the thread also has a reason that is expected to be very wise without any other elements.Then I looked at the thread again: [DONATION] A donation campaign for the natural disaster happened in Turkey
EFS, I wish all the Turks the best at this time. I will definitely be very sorry if we lose some members of the Turkish forum due to the earthquake [hopefully that doesn't happen]. Take care of your safety, the earthquake will usually occur several times as aftershocks.

That was not a scam post. We are already very sensitive about those scam posts. Instead of collecting donations individually, I waited trusted NGOs to accept crypto donations. After long talks, we got the permission from the authorities and shared those crypto addresses from the original source.
Based on how some past aid efforts on the forum turned out, it is smarter to send all help straight to trusted non-profit groups like the Red Cross and Red Crescent working in Turkey and Syria. I am not a fan of those big and sluggish NGOs and I would rather give directly to those in need, but even that is far better than falling for scams who will use this bad situation for their own gain.
Unfortunately trust in government organizations here is much less than NGOs we mentioned. Also, they didn't have the option to donate with crypto. You can donate blood to Red Crescent though.
irfan_pak10 had donation thread some time ago when Pakistan was hit by flood or natural disaster. He got quite lot of enthusiasm from forum users who wanted to donate little money to the Pakistani people affected by the disaster. The thread is still available and not deleted until recently.

[Donations] Fundraising for the Floods disaster in Pakistan
About the OP's question, I don't know what the problem is - but it's possible it was reported and removed based on the reason for the report.
I can probably assume that this donation thread about Turkey does not involve escrow which is in fact direct donation managed by a non-forum member [trusted person]. I don't know if this is the reason, but it could be right or it could be wrong. Only the users who reported it and the moderators who removed it know why, maybe they have the right to answer that.

Here's the thread for anyone willing to go through it - https://loyce.club/archive/posts/6171/61718523.html
I have no idea why the thread was deleted on first glance. Most likely scenario is that it was reported and the mods agreed with the comments of the report, therby deleting the post. The user could try opening a new thread and checking if it gets deleted too.

As the title suggests, that's about what I want to ask you.
I had 2 posts today in the thread I was referring to, but I was surprised to notice they have been deleted. I don't know what the reason is, is it against forum rules or what?
I don't mind the deletion of this post, but I was really wondering if that every thread of donation is no longer allowed in the forum?
