Recently, as I'm sure some of you have noticed, some posts have been deleted. A few of you may have had posts removed with reasons like this: Posts that consist of nothing more than a "Support" will be deleted, as this is now considered post farming. If you have something more to contribute, of course, you may comment. It's just the posts that are "Support", "Neutral" and "No-Support" that you should no longer be posting anymore. Give a reason or your post will be deleted and you will be left to use the ratings. Lots of people post or have posted "Support, reasons stated above.", including myself, but we're no longer allowing that. if the reasons are already stated above, use an agree rating on the other post and move on.You can still say support but you have to supplement your responses with other information. A good response can include: - Pros and Cons of the idea - Detailing how it would affect the server in a negative or positive way - Sharing past experiences relating to the suggestion - Finding relevant plugins/add ons - Finding proof that a suggestion does/doesn't work to supplement it - Suggest any improvements to the suggestion So just saying "support" or "support, sounds good" or "support, I agree with what blah said" is not a good response. It doesn't add any extra information to the suggestion, no reasoning, and a very vague opinion. It is easy to go around on suggestions only posting "support, i like this idea". Some things you don't need a post for. There are ratings you can use. On the topic of ratings, rate abuse is now a common subject. "As a rule of thumb staff view 3 or more ratings to one person in a relatively short period of time either positive or negative, as rate abuse." As well as 3 ratings to an individual, giving a negative rating with no reasoning behind it is also considered rate abuse. If it's the first time this has happened, and it was clearly an accident, we'll just give you a verbal warning. If you're ever being spoken to about rate abuse, please don't fight us, we're just trying our best to make sure there's no trouble.

That one wasn’t your post, and they’ve been removed for post farming. It wasn’t a support message, it was very off topic.
This is important to moderation of the forums to prevent unfair post gaining. Don’t listen to people like this critiquing everything mods do. Y’all are doing great
Right, thnx for explaining. It’s obviously going to be something to be getting used to, what happends if you do forget a few times? Will this have a negative impact on your account?
Would it explain why my posts on some others' profiles are getting deleted the soon I post them or something? o-o
I posted one at Noobcrew's profile and then it disappeared after a few minutes, and another post I believe on Krissy's profile
One was removed because you asked for a like. That falls under like farming. I'm not sure why the one on Krissy's profile was removed.
I can just say, whoever made this alrt for me "You either said nothing or close to it in your '(no-)support'. Read: -=- Appropriate use of ratings - Why was my post deleted? -=- | Skyblock Forums" congrats to you. Lol.
