Write the reason you're deleting this FAQ

For a writer, being rejected is a dent on the ego. When you create a discussion and later on the admin would delete it for reasons that it is not related to the niche then that will make you think. Naturally you will review the topic that you created if your post was indeed out of tune. But if it is related to the niche then the admin may not like you as a member of the community. By the way, the culprit can be the admin or the moderator.

I've been a member of this forum for only a few months so I have not experienced that. The only experience that I have is submitting a topic but did not see it posted. I guess it was not approved for some reason. If it happened only once maybe we can just say that it is an accidental deletion or a glitch? I don't know. I would just try not to think negatively about it. I will just think that it is not a personal attack against me since we don't really know each other for them not to like me.

I am new also to this forum. I don't have an experience like that. I hope I don't get deleted in my posts. Its so nice to see posts not getting deleted. If it is deleted I believe the admin has the right not to post it. It might have violated their rules and regulation.

If ever I get my posts deleted. I will just take it into consideration. I will take it as a constructive criticism. If its constructive criticism it is also be good for the writer. The writer must find out what posts he needs not to post. So as no to experience it again and again.

I've never had a post deleted, but just like you, I wasn't approved to post a new topic in the beginning. I guess you have to show your potential by doing comments, and later on, you will qualify for creating topics. However, any inquiry, you can ask to support, and they will help you out. At least, that has worked for me.

Got some topics that I submitted approved and posted but not all of them. Although I make sure that topics are relevant to each forum where I post them, I think there are still various criteria that each admin or moderator is looking for. Support is really a great help whenever you have clarifications.

When I started, I couldn't post any of my new topics, and it was like that for a while, I would say maybe 4 to 6 months. Suddenly, just one day, I took a new chance, and posted a topic and it went through. That's why I think, that at least in my case, they were giving some kind of trial period, instead of a criteria issues.

I'm not sure if I have become numb as a writer, but I don't consider the deletion of a discussion as a rejection. If the admin or moderator doesn't like me or my writing style, they'll probably just kick me out of the site. A paid writer is working at the pleasure of the site owner who has full control over the content of his/her site.

There are many possible reasons for removing a thread. If you post a discussion that contradicts or undermines the company's principles, the admin may have to take it down to protect the site. If you post a thread topic that has been discussed in an older thread, that is likely to be deleted because it doesn't add value to the site. The admin can also delete a discussion to save on precious space and give way to new discussions. Whatever it is, I don't think we should take it personally.

Don't worry, you are not alone in being a numb writer. I can say that I am also one. If my post gets deleted, I will surely wonder why but not to the extent of feeling bad or getting hurt. I guess we can compare that to a job interview. You know you are qualified and you have all the skills needed for the job but at the end, you still did not get the job. If the interviewer doesn't like you, and then fine. Move on and find another job. Just like in postings, if the admin or moderator doesn't like your post then I move on and just do another post.

Yep in a health forum the admin keeps on deleting my posts. Whenever I post something it would be deleted in a couple of days. The reason their giving is that my posts are irrelevant but in reality my posts are very relevant. Well they're loss not mine.

Same as me, even when my posts were relevant, on topic, and what I would deem to be long enough. I just unsubscribed. I don't have time to be commenting on a site to try and earn a small amount of money just for the owners of the site to retract what I wrote. I think it's honestly more a case of the site owner probably running out of money and trying to get some of it back. Shady!

I think that it is going to be far more better for such an admin to have a word with the people that are making such mistakes on the best that they can improve the work. Seriously, to a creative writer involves being able to have a means of getting some words into the system and it is sad when the admin or moderator do not have a talk with the writer on the best way to handle things.

You are correct with that. The admin or moderator should inform the writer what are the reason for deletion. This is to further calibrate what the site really wants for writers to post so they do not keep on doing the same mistake.

I agree with you. If the admin deletes a post then there should be a valid reason. Admin is also responsible for informing the writer of the reasons why the post is deleted. So that the writer can avoid this from happening again.

What if the deleting issue, is related to some kind of breaking the rules? I think your idea is very valid. I mean, if something like that happens to me, I would like the admin tells me what I did wrong, or as you say to have some warning, so I can pay attention next time.

mark8625

mark8625

Yeah that is what exactly I was saying. I have been experienced that before and what I did is that instead of commenting in the certain post, I make my own topic and it works. We as a writer sometimes have the same ideas and opinions posted in the site and the moderator did not like it that is why they deleted it which is not good because without warning to us we feel sometimes that what is really wrong.

And that answers a lot of personal questions. I've been thinking about it a lot, and I'm always concerned about if moderator/admin would agree or disagree, on any of my topics. I think is kind of frustrating and unfair, to be deleted, just because it doesn't fit on what they want to read. I think that if a post or comment, doesn't break the forum's rules, then it is valid to be posted.

Honestly, I can't tell if some of my posts were deleted. I don't really check all the posts that I made.

Hopefully, I'll be able to start a new discussion and have a good conversation with everyone.

I have not experienced such an issue so far, and I actually did not think it could happen. It sounds like you wrote something that did not meet the administrator's expectation or you compromised on quality. Either way, the administrator has full right over all the content that is published on the forum so he/she chooses what should stay and what should not. I have had posts accepted because I always maintain the highest quality possible, while also watching on the relevance of the topic that I need comments or answers on.

What is even more annoying is that you will get the notification not to modify your content but that it has been deleted. It has not happened to me on this platform but I have ever experienced such in on another site. Unfortunately, I do not think that there is much you can do other than creating another post. There are occasions nonetheless when it would be wise to contact the admin if they keep doing so to your posts.

May I clarify that this topic is not about this forum. It is my experience with another forum where the admin seems to be having a witch hunt on me that several of my posts were deleted for reasons that they are not relevant to the niche. I have many rebuttals to that reason but I don't think it is necessary to explain it here. No, I did not communicate with the admin. I just stopped going to that forum for my peace of mind.

I haven't experienced any deletion of my post or comment yet to any forum and I really appreciate that. But I can relate the hurt in our ego when our post or comment suddenly being deleted without any valid reason especially that you did not violate any rule. Why I can relate with you is sometimes when I try to make a clarification to the people involve in the matter we are discussing, the admin of the page deleted my entire comment. I even commented in a nice way, I just want to tell them a clarification but they deleted it. When it happens, I just ignore it and let them be. It's from social media sites, not in a forum like this.

I also know which forum you are talking about. I also went through the same thing and I considered quitting. As much as some people say it does not affect you, it does. It affects your morale. The admin is entitled to do this but why wait for a couple of days to pass. Why not delete the posts immediately or not credit them and tell people why you are doing it so that they don't make the same mistakes again. We are all human and we need to treat each other fairly. I'm very sad about this and I'm trying my best to just get on with things.

Yup, I have experienced getting my post deleted on some super strict websites and forums. I abide by their rules and my posts are related to the niche but they still kept getting removed. I do not take it hard even if they do this, though. I treat it as a normal part of being a freelance writer. As they say, the customer is always right. If he/she doesn't want your service or aren't satisfied with it, you can just move on and find another client.

I haven't experienced having a post being deleted by an admin. However, I have an experience about a comment that is still awaiting for moderation. I posted it like weeks ago, but it is still not approved. I don't know if it was being ignored or the moderator is just busy. Anyway, I'm still thankful that I was able to release and write what was on my mind, or else, it will remain forever in my head.

I have had several deleted but in most cases I think it is just saving on revenue. Some of the deleted posts are factual yet the admin or moderator thinks in the contrary. Mostly am not bothered but move on.

There is one site I was completely banned. I do not know how it happened but I concentrated on just one forum in the site. I was new and just dealt with the introductory section

Yes, I think that it does happen with a lot of writers, their posts are deleted without giving any notice by the admin for a completely flimsy reason. Although this has never happened with me till now, I can understand how disturbing must it be for any writer. After all, the writer invests lots of his or her time and effort in creating that post and it can be very disappointing to see it get deleted due to a difference of opinion with someone.

I've been writing for a while, but I just joined forums for months. Luckily, I haven't experienced that. If I did, I probably get hurt because of it.

I don't think you should take it to heart when a post or comment gets deleted because sometimes there are good reasons, other times it maybe a mistake. The point is, whatever forum, or website you are on it's at their discretion and they decide.

I have several Facebook groups and I do delete comments and posts that I don't feel are suitable, or that they are there to stir things up rather than discuss. One must accept the admin has control and does things for whatever reason whether it's logical or not.

I agree@Gandalf. The Admin is in control and they can do anything that they want to do. I think that the problem most people have is that no reason is given. It's true that man is to error and anyone can make a mistake. You can write something and its not up to standard or its controversial,irrelevant and inappropriate. People would understand if you delete comments made in any of these three categories. The problem comes when you don't say anything. The person then has no room to improve.Just give the person a reason.

Having your post deleted is really a blow. I haven't have my post deleted in this site. But I did have my post rejected the first time and the second on hold but that was understandable since I was new to this forum and I was merely testing the watrs so to speak. but I had my posts deleted in other sites. It wasnot a nice a experience. First off, since it was already published, then I would assume that I have already met the standards required for it to go to the forums and start a quality discussion. But after some time, I found that my post deleted. And worse, I don't even know why. So now, I tend to pick my topics more on posting on forums sticking strickly to topics as I don't want to have my posts get deleted again.

I'm a member of a politics forum. They regularly delete posts and threads. I guess the admins/moderators don't want anything they don't like or agree with being seeing by anyone (on the site). Out there I've had numerous posts deleted but I like interacting with other forum members so it doesn't really matter that much. You can always discuss something off the boards even if the admin doesn't like it.

Yes, this has happened a lot to me. The thing is that a lot of people do not understand you or your writings, and thats why the admins ban your posts - they do not get what you have to say, they maybe thing that you are abusing or saying bad things.
