Rules Um wtf. Why did I get a warning for making a valuable post?

    So earlier today I made a post about the extreme tracking tool which is a free tool that webmasters can use to see where their traffic is coming from not only based by referral and google keyword searches, but geographically. I probably spent a good 20 minutes writing up the post because I thought it would be useful. I only recently learned you needed a certain number of likes to start threads in the marketplace so I am trying to make valuable posts people might like.

    For my efforts, I got my post deleted AND I GOT A WARNING for "running up post count / post has no value". WTF? IT HAS NO VALUE?

    This is VERY unfair. Why should 20 minutes of my time be completely wasted for no reason? Why is a post I thought that was valuable to others simply being brushed off as "having no value"? Can someone please reverse this. How the hell am I supposed to use this forum to make money if the staff delete everything I do? I've been a member here for YEARS. This is complete bull.

    If you are looking for a forum to make money, you are probably in the wrong place. You might find more of what you are looking for here: http://www.warriorforum.com/

    I don't like that forum. I've been using this one to do business for years and am happy with it. I just don't understand why that post got deleted in the first place and why I would get a warning for it?

    did you check if some one else has already made a post about the tool ? Its always advice-able to search and then make such "useful" posts as posting it repeatedly might attract infractions!
