Start a thread in what I believed was the correct forum (I actually read through the descriptions of all of them and couldn't find a better suited one), make a post, get a wiseguy remark in response, have my thread deleted and get a warning. Way to make a new member feel welcome! On a normal forum, a moderator would do something productive like move a thread to a forum they feel is better suited, but I guess DP's got more traffic than it wants to bother with as it is. Since I'll have to type out the entire post again anyway, I'll make sure to do it anywhere else but here. Bloody hell, I've been online for nearly 20 years, but the "welcome" I got here is one I'll be sure to remember.
Well that sucks, sorry to hear that. I have had infractions for things that the mods were wrong on. Don't let it discourage you. There are some overzealous mods on any form you goto. I've had a few and this isn't the whole list.

I'm not going to debate what you wrote because I agree with some of it. But you ought to consider staying. There is a tremendous amount of expertise on this site. I have learnt so much that it is invaluble. I have also made profitable business contacts as well. I stay for the membership and do my best to bite my lip when it comes to staff/admin. Welcome aboard and hang in there!
Thanks, heh... the problem is, I still don't know what forum I should have posted my thread in because the one I posted in originally still seems the most relevant to me (SEO company not paying, posted in the SEO forum).
I had a similar post before that I thought should go in a certain section and I was told it should of been in the General Chat. So maybe check there next time if it's a rant or warning people about a certain company...
