I made a thread earlier about where to purchase a VCC with Bitcoin. Apparently it's harder to buy them since January because of rule changes by the big credit card companies so I thought I'd ask what other people were using and got some good answers. Some dude replied to my thread with what I assume was a copy and pasted post, so I reported it to the mods. The rest of the posts on the thread were fairly useful and none were spam. Now when I check my entire thread is gone, I received no message about my thread being deleted at all or even why it was deleted. I assume it was deleted by the mods for some reason.

From what I've seen it seems like the staff here are actually discouraging actual discussions on the forum and letting spammers run wild. This forum is an absolute joke, the only readable section is meta where you can read about how shit the forum is.

I know it's been said a thousand times, but the admins really need to sit down and decide whether bitcointalk is a discussion forum or a glorified Bitcoin faucet. Currently the forum is a form of one of those paid-to-click websites that are covered in spammy ads and pay you a few cent an hour to look at them, it is essentially the Bitcoin version of buxinc.

I will now have to go onto Reddit and post my thread there in order to actually have any discussion on the topic. Hopefully I don't accidentally type any bad keywords though because apparently typing a specific word on the subreddit makes your post invisible to people.

Perhaps it was a moderation error? These guys get hundreds of reports, they obviously can't get them all perfect. I would just repost the thread and move on. Cheers.
