Try not posting useless comments and perhaps you will solve the mystery of your disappearing posts.

Every time a post is removed the post count is also affected.

If you haven't already you may want to take a look at [this topic] as I'm sure you'll find your answer there

well star what is your opinion on showing what posts are deleted so people can learn from there mistakes because frankly i don't think my posts were spam

Odds are if the post is one sentence long, it's very likely to be marked as spam. Try writing 3 or more sentences per post and you're probably safe. It's the elaboration that makes a discussion more interesting, and if the mods don't feel that you've added anything to a discussion, your post can be deleted.
This is an experiment of sorts. I don't really expect most people to care about my music listening habits.

I want to complain also! : ) I wanted to post in the anime section and now it all gone for me. And I don't think those were spam cuz in some topics they just ask you about opinion to choose from difrent options. So there's nothing more to say.
[sorry to post here. Maybe I missed something. Haven't read all topics.]

Well really, it could also go the other way. Having a sentence minimum is a good way to get diluted bs posts instead of concise ones. If a good point can be made in one sentence, then by all means.

I saw somewhere the quote that "forum posts are like miniskirts... long enough to cover the subject matter, but short enough to make it interesting."
