Why do posts keep getting erased?

    I've posted simple statements and questions and they keep getting erased so I never reach 25 posts.

    please help.
    thanks

    Doesn't look like anything was erased.

    Are you sure?

    I just posted a simple question for a writer - for- hire..It was erased, but the writer PM'ed me back..This has happed several times here. I'don't understand?

    Should I have a certain number of posts to posts in certain forums?

    I didn't move them but that comments sounds like they weren't the cleverest of posts, i.e. solely intended to run up your post count to reach the magic 25. Am I right?

    The rules clearly state 'contribute first' - just saying 'welcome' or 'happy birthday' is not a valid contribution.

    I traded in my cleverness for brilliance a long time ago. So a strait forward question, comment, etc. that is precise and concise is viewed as "not a valid contribution" as opposed to expressing much in few words?

    Like Rob said, nothing has been deleted.

    You probably didn't consult the FAQ prior to posting in a limited forum.

    Besides the moderator/webmaster that manually deleted my posts, how would you know if its been deleted? What evidence is left behind, that shows a post was deleted by moderator/webmaster?

    Awaiting your reply....

    no duplicate. I posted the following in the webdesign section, Please tell me whats wrong with this post because it's been deleted once. I even have screenshot of when it was up and then.....gone.

    Can I Sell A PR5 Website For $1 down - Neighbourhood.ws

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I am in the middle of trying to redesign my PR5 real estate website neighbourhood.ws. The problem is I am trying to sell it because i keep getting offers for it.

    "The question is can I sell while I'm redeveloping and should that influence the ending purchase price?

    I was thinking I could sell for $1 down, and full payment required after redesign is complete.

    please advise...

    by the way free advertising for any web designers that want to help..

    thanks..."

    Why delete this?

    Most likely it was moved. That certainly doesn't seem to me like it has anything to with HTML or web design.

    Either way, as others have mentioned, you have never had a post deleted in this forum.

    Like I said no duplicate account. But, from what you guys are suggesting, duplicate accounts seems to be a problem. I think what guys are kinda tellin me is....the same thing from 1st year in law school: Don't act too smart, make valuable contributions, give tons more than you expect in return.

    No problem here.
