    First time posters whose posts contain links or certain other content are referred to moderators as a sort of spam-trap.

    From just looking at your other post, I suspect it was the link that was the problem.

    I had a thread about a hypothetical relationship problem deleted. The moderator sent me an email saying to move "this crap" to asia xpat...I thought that was pretty weird.

    the site gets a lot of drive by crap posted on here, people promoting themselves etc. thing is, if you go about it the right way, i reckon shri et al would not mind, but some people just put up blatant advertising without asking - yes it is a free website, but that's because advertisers pay shri to keep it. it isn't hard to send a PM to admin asking if you can blow your trumpet here.

    the other posts that are deleted are ones that contain things that may get the site on some blocked lists with google etc. we've had a few threads that have deteriorated and been deleted, ones with references to pay-for-your-way girl sites etc...

    i like the instructions to move the post to the "other" site though
