is it now an offence to be courteous in our own self-moderated threads?
Help me understand please, these were all deleted from my self-mod thread....

See rule 1:
1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e]
1. Such posts as "SELL SELL SELL", "I agree", "+1", "Support", "Watching", "Interesting", "LOL", "SCAM", "LEGIT", "FAKE", other one word posts, posts consisting mostly of swearing, quote pyramids, useless introduction threads, threads about a topic already recently discussed in several other threads.
You're free to be polite and thank other people
in addition to providing something else of substance that would take the post out of the territory of "low value". Not sure why you mentioned the thread being self-moderated since that doesn't change the dynamic here. Self-moderation doesn't override or substitute the rules and standards according to which the forum is moderated by its staff - it's another layer of moderation where the user can
also decide which posts can stay and which should be deleted (though he isn't bound by any rules or standards the forum staff are).
