To my complete surprise, one of my posts was recently deleted on the forum over at the Dreamstime site. I was replying to a poster who had just recently joined DT and was asking how to get some sales and views. For the last few days, this person has had a total of one photo in their portfolio. And it's still currently one photo. My reply was as follows: "Adding more photos to your portfolio would be a good start."
Not long after that, I received an e-mail notification informing me that my post had been deleted. And possible reasons for deletion can be any of these things - "We delete duplicate posts, posts in other languages than English, spams or any post that may be considered as violation of the message board rules."
Obviously, my post was written in English, it was not a duplicate post or spam and did not break the rules which are outlined below:

Logically, the only way to get sales is to have a decent sized portfolio containing quality images that are useful to clients. Having more than one photo in your port is certainly a step in the right direction if you do want sales.
These DT mods are really out of control. Some of them, especially the female mods, seem to be on a power trip.
By the way, I have had other posts of mine disappear from the DT forum in the past but I did not receive e-mail notifications about them.
