Add value to your posts.

Do you have any knowledge? Then look for a sub-forum here that talks about that topic and join the discussion. That will help others by sharing knowledge, ideas, or opinions, while at the same time, you get more knowledge in the process. That is the real difference from spam posts.

Have fun.

I have TONS of knowledge that will be shared here. I simply didn't think about someone could do that and get up their points to qualify for jr vip etc. I simply did it to get my points up a little AND felt like welcoming members was contributing by greeting the new members. Afterwards I realized what it could be used to do. Thats all, no biggie.

Unless you can provide us with a link to the thread where your post was deleted, we won’t be able to tell you the reason.

You’re better off asking the moderator who deleted your post, but remember to be courteous and polite - the mods are here to help everyone so don’t go charging in, all guns blazing. Be calm and measured and the mod will explain so that you don’t get into this situation again.

These are the main reasons posts get deleted:

• Post count inflation: either thanking other members (you should use the thanks button for this) or posting nothing-y content just to get to 15 or 100 posts
• Duplicate posts: posting the same thing more than once
• Inappropriate content: this is anything that violates rule 3 in the TOS, including references to anything religious, political, racist, sexist or bigoted
• Selling outside the marketplace: if you are offering your services (including 'help' that you expect to get paid for), we will delete the post

It all comes back to the holy trinity of BHW: don't spam, don't sell, don't be a dick.

Read BHW rule # 3.5, which states "3.5 Engaging in post count inflation by posting excessive amounts of short replies for the sole purpose of inflating your post count. This includes the infamous “thanks for the share.” (If you’d like to say “thanks” to someone for their effort/contribution, make use of the Like button)".
Anyways, we were all new to the forum at some point of time, and even till today not everyone is alert about all rules all the time (as we are human), and that is why BHW has the BHW Support section / portal (link at the bottom of all pages of BHW), so that we can always refer to various rules or questions that we may have, on an ongoing basis.
