I feel for those who have recently had their posts deleted as I'd hate for my posts to be deleted too.  Humans are creatures of habit.  You've been used to making those one-liners for a long time - all of the sudden staff are preoccupied with quality and your posts are being deleted. This has to be a great shock and something big for you to get used to.  I don't necessarily agree with this, one of the reasons I was so excited when I joined post4vps.com in March was that there was an absence of deleted posts.  But since this is what the staff have decided and deleted posts have become a reality at post4vps (for good quality reasons of course), maybe the tips below could be helpful for making better quality posts.

Consider this is a great opportunity for you to improve your writing skills as well as your ability to communicate with others in a meaningful and quality way.  It can become very useful tool for you in your work as well.

1. Only make posts in topics that really interest you and that you feel spontaneous about - like you have the feeling you really want to give your opinion on the topic.  Not a "thank you" or "I agree" type of feeling, but there's something in the topic that makes you think, and wants you to give your opinion.  Only respond to that topic if you have this kind of feeling.  You'll be surprised at what happens when you do this.  Words just seem to appear from nowhere - but when they do, learn to master them - be careful in using them, and pretend as you have an assignment to communicate your thinking to others from scratch - give them the background, give them the facts.  You may even want to research this by Googling the topic and in the end discover that you're actually learning something new about the topic that you want to share with others.  Don't copy paste this though - use proper quotation marks with the source - but also say it in your own words - preferably always in your own words.

2. If there aren't that many topics as per the above that wants you to think, then think to what you've been doing with your VPS lately.  Have you had to troubleshoot something?  Like maybe you got locked out of your VPS and you discovered a certain way of securing your VPS didn't work.  Then go to the Security Section of the Forum and start a new topic about it, but one that has your thoughts about it in more detail than you are used to.  Be careful NOT to copy paste any material. That would really irritate the staff very much. Try and think in English and as though you are teaching people about what the problem is that happened to you and how you solved it.  Try and train your brain to bookmark mentally topics you can contribute to the Forum.  Like that "aha" moment when something good happened to you and how you can share this with others in the Forum. At the same time Google the background so you have your thoughts tested by fact as well.  Try and test your knowledge by Googling your thoughts before you share it with others.  So you can make your statements foolproof. 

Be careful not to duplicate topics such as favourite movie etc etc.  Like if your thoughts are about contributing a new topic and it's not really a specialist but more global topic, then it may be an idea to check whether there is already a topic on it first.  Staff get irritated when they see duplicate threads.

3. Try and look at all of the Forums instead of just responding to recent linked posts.  Better yet, only respond to posts that are in quality Forums.  And only if you have something meaningful and longer than one line to say.

Maybe it will help if you have a laptop or desktop, to actually sit through the Forums one day and look at the ones that would give you the opportunity of extra quality posts and the topics that really are meaningful to you.  Like for example making a tutorial or doing a review.  If you can make one of those and do it well that will make the staff happy and more forgiving.  Try and make at least one of those every month or every other month.  BUT when you do it, don't copy paste the tutorial.  Write it in your own words.  And take your time over it.

4. When you study all of the Forums, take note of the ones where you don't earn any credit posts - don't waste your time with them - they are the following Forums:

Quote:Private support forum
Private VPS Request forum
Spam/test forum
Introduction forum
Would not be counted towards your monthly post counts.

5. If the thread consists of a very long number of responses, BEFORE you respond, check first what the opening paragraph of that thread says.  Make sure that you know exactly what the topic is so you can stay with the topic.  If the last response is off topic, then try and get the discussion back to topic with your own views, if you have any meaningful additional views to contribute.  If you have nothing to contribute and you notice the last post is off topic, then use the REPORT button to report it is off topic.  Don't respond to the thread.

6. Have a positive mental attitude about all of this.  See this as a great opportunity to improve your English.  Like teach yourself to write well worded sentences that show your ability to communicate technical information. It will earn you more points in the Forum as well.  Your position will be much stronger. And you'll acquire a certain amount of pride in your accomplishment.

Great writing tips for those making low quality posts.

And it seems @deanhills you are really using this forum to practice your writing skills.

By the way, now if any member is still asking about post deletion in Shoutbox, we can just throw him/her this URL. It will certainly save us lots of time explaining the details.

i have some of my post deleted before but most of them are my one liner post . this post can make our forum get more quality comment
i also get some of writing skill by joining this forum . not only writing but also skill for interacting with much professional people should is ay than on any other social platform . forum is much more mature than those other social like fb , etc

last month i lost my almost 6 to 8 posts. but i do try to seek my goal and post more. and finally go my 20 post to be survive because i have too busy in work and i dont have internet. but shock to see my vps not works i dont know why.

I don't think one liners are a problem when those happen time to time. But when you make series one one posts that look pretty much like spam. Usually these one liners and short posts happen at end of the month when people try finish their post quote in last couple of days of the months. You only need to do 20 posts. That means you don't need to do with 1 post per day. All you have to do it try to make 1-2 posts per day in topics which you have something to say. If there aren't anything then make a topic of few about things you are interested.

That's a nice suggestion, @deanhills!
I really like your posts and wanted to add 1 thing, post when you're in a good mood.

If you have a good or even nice mood, you can think easily and can post more.

Agreed, people were suffocated with the issues of deletion and forum downtime, luckily last month post4vps had a 50% discount on the number of posts, and many people completed their posts on time.
This topic will be helpful to regain the energy.

i to agree with your thread my posts all have been deleted and i was acting like its not my fault ,i shouted many times at shout box later dynamo replied about my posts and then i got to know that it was my mistakes about quality posts,using to much thanks ,low quality posts now i figured out why my posts were deleted!
