Why was my question, answer or comment removed from the Community?

Questions, answers and comments are only removed when they don't quite measure up to one or more of our Community Guidelines. Most common reasons for removal include the following:

  • Lots of spelling/grammar errors, all-caps or "text-speak" (most people won't answer a question they can't quickly understand)
  • Off-topic - an answer that doesn't directly relate to the question being asked
  • TMI - including details that reveal too much about yourself or someone else
  • Not a question - if you are just looking to chat rather than seeking specific information about a topic
  • Nonsense - any question that is impossible for anyone to answer factually, for any reason
  • Already asked - someone else may have asked the same question just minutes ago
  • Illegal - anything against the law is also against our Community Guidelines
  • Lovelorn - looking to hook up with other members of the community
  • Offensive/vulgar - we're not prudes, but in case my grandmother is reading, keep it relatively clean

Take a look at our Community Guidelines for a complete guide pertaining to questions, answers, and comments in our community. If you're still curious, feel free to contact Customer Support with the complete details of your situation.
