Why was my topic deleted? - jameskmonger - 17.02.2011

I was asking for advice on promoting/populating my server, if you could point out WHICH rule that breaks, I would be grateful, if not, I want my topic restored.

I'm no expert but I'd say advertising in the wrong section, you posted a link to your ad here.

Because the mods wanted to. They don't need a reason everytime they delete something.

I agree, it just means that your ad will get more traffic if you are asking for people to look at it, and give feedback.

PM a moderator and don't spam sections with useless and redundant topics questioning their actions.

Exactly. If this forum wasn't full of people who like to break rules, I am sure they would message each person telling why a thread they created was deleted.

No, they don't. They are the ones who pay and run the forums, thus can do as they wish.

However I do agree that whenever a topic is deleted/locked, a valid reason should be given.

I think you did not see this.

Use your brain! before you use your keyboard. "Sharing your thoughts" means that you need thoughts to share. If you're not adding something to the discussion, then don't post.
No slow chatting! If you have a specific question to ask somebody, use a PM. Don't fill other people's threads - even your own threads - with pointless babble. That's what IRC/AIM/MSN etc. are for.
No word games! Word games are counted as spam, don't do it! Your thread will be deleted, and if you continue to post it, you will be banned.
It's not a 'gang discussion' forum! That forum section was removed for a reason, so please dont post gang threads here.
Keep to the thread's topic! Even though this is an off-topic forum does not mean that you can post irrelevant information in people's threads.
No referral linking! Its fine to link to a website which contains something on-topic or something that interests you but not where you gain anything from the referral of people clicking it.
Do not advertise!

What I think, it's still a link to your advertisement, which gives the ad more views, and makes most people see it. So, basically, you just advertised.

Re: Why was my topic deleted? - jameskmonger - 18.02.2011

I posted a link to another post on this forum, I hardly take that as advertising.

And why couldn't the mod have edited my post and removed the link?

And also, they should need a reason, they are there to moderate the FORUM'S rules, not their own.
