I do have a question. As a Newbie. And PLEASE realize that I mean no offense at all. I merely want to understand and grow, as I suspect many other newbies do to.
I post what I consider to be well worded responses, that are on topic. Sure, I completing airdrops (which Bitcointalk allows on their forum), and so some of my responses are two liners rather than essays. And I do understand that I have a lot to learn still!
When my posts (eg. "This seems like a super interesting project. I shall definitely be supporting it!") get deleted, I do get annoyed at certain things:
1. The reason given is completely vague
2. It is easier to find a needle in a needle stack than get anyone to respond to why the post has actually been deleted. In fact, most moderators do not even accept messages from newbies. So what is their job then? Surely Newbies are the people that need the most help?
3. I see other people posting monosyllabic grunts and Bitcointalk seems absolutely fine with this? Surely as an established forum Bitcointalk should be taking issue with posts such as "Yes", "Great" and the like rather than picking on newbies who are actually trying to find their way and contribute meaningfully?
I truly mean no disrespect with this post. I would not be on the forum, or trying to work through what are clearly growing pains, if I did not want to be on here. I think this forum is valuable, and it has been around for along time so clearly it is contributing meaningfully to the crypto community.
But these things do puzzle me. And I do not understand what the moderator role is. If a post has been deleted then this (hopefully) implies that a moderator has read it. So then surely one sentence of (non cut & paste) feedback as to why the post has been deleted will help Newbies to conform to the (often unclear) rules of the forum? Which would mean less newbie mistakes, and less work for the moderators?
I totally get it if a Newbie just keeps doing the same old thing despite feedback. But what about Newbies who are genuinely trying to learn? For example in my deleted post I commented that I found a project "super interesting", which I genuinely do. I went on to add that I would be supporting it, as I plan to buy tokens. I get that I am clearly violating some rule. But without feedback I will never know what it is, and so am likely to keep violating the same rule.
Please guys, I would really like constructive feedback on why the post was deleted? I certainly have no interest in repeating the same mistake and putting effort into posts that are just getting obliterated.
