I just had my post removed for some reason that is beyond me. It was not derogatory, or breaking any of the forum rules that I'm aware of.

Perhaps it would be helpful if the admins could inform the poster of the reason, so it could be avoided in the future.

It was probable a 'low value' post, which are now routinely removed (thank god).

It wasn't. It was a quote and reply to an earlier post, asking for clarification.

What on earth is a low value post ?

Is there some kind of AI algorithm to determine what is 'low value' ?

One of the admins clarified it here.

As an example of a low value post ..........

"Gawd!"

I thought it was to do with fencing. They are a real pain if you have wooden posts in concrete that have rotted. Go for concrete posts everytime - they will see you out !

The notice to members is clearly posted in this forum.

Low-Value Posts Will Be Removed

Posts that add no written contribution harm the forum and reduce its value for readers and search engines.

This includes:

• 2–3 word replies

• Emoji-only posts

• Memes or GIFs with no explanation or context.

• Screenshots with no supporting text

• Embedded social media posts with no comment or opinion

• Youtube videos with no explanation or comment

If your post does not explain, add context, or express a view in your own words, it has no value here.
