    Mods,

    I really appreciate if you can at least let me know why my post was removed.

    I have post a thread in the market place wanted to sell my wrought iron stand and it just disappear. Initially i thought that is because i have post it inadequatelyl.

    I tried again the 2nd time and it was not there again.

    I am learning and if i did make any mistakes or infringe any rules in the forum, i really appreciate that the mods can enlighten me. Else appreciate if you can look into it and see if there is any technical error.

    Thanks....

    You guys obviously don't read ALL the notices pasted all over the forums.

    This one is pasted on the forum description itself and highlight in BOLD.

    Buy, sell, trade, give or want ads for aquarium related items only. Only members with postcounts of 10 or higher may start new threads. Please read the Marketplace rules before posting. All posts containing SMS abbreviation WILL be deleted without prior notice. Please take note.
    Cheers,

    My dear Mod,

    I do understand that there should be no abbreviation and less than 10 post are not allow to post any new thread.

    But the fact is that in that "missing" thread, i did not type in any abbreviation and i di met the min requirement of more than 10 posts.

    Appreciate your assistance.

    Thanks

    'pls' is not and acceptable english word for use in AQ. If you keep using this word like in your post above, your posts will keep disappearing.

    Other SMS type abbreviation that we will delete without notice includes "4, r, u, ur, tmr, wat, den, b4, sori", etc, etc. Please help us keep AQ free from these bastardization of the English language. Thank you.

    Cheers,

    I can understand your frustrations insinctloh...
    Most of the "local" forums and some "international" ones do accept such posts.

    But I'd like to add another point for your understanding.
    AQ has visitors whose native language is not English.
    That's already hard enough for them.
    If SMS lingo is added to the spin for them it will be very difficult for them to participate and contribute to the forum, and there are excellent people out there who do not speak English as a first language.
    Google translate or Babelfish are only effective to a point...
    I personally can vouch for this as I occasionally research foreign language websites.

    Its not really the Queens English either...
    Otherwise we'd be sipping tea and eating cucumber sandwiches!
    Jokes aside, its merely an "idea" that AQ has to promote international sharing of the hobby we love.
    We hope you buy-in to the idea too...
