First of all, I can understand your frustration on this matter as it's difficult to differentiate what exactly is spam and what isn't. Anyway, If all you want to do is say thanks for the download then use the reputation system. Any post that has "Thanks" or anything of that sort will be deleted and handled accordingly by a member of staff. Of course, we cannot moderate the whole of the board all of the time and the last thing we would like to do is enable the post moderation feature as this really isn't necessary. Reporting things isn't acting like a "Child", in fact it's completely the opposite. Members who don't report posts I would say are seen a less valuable member as they're not helping keep the forums clean. In addition to that, reporting posts isn't an "In thing" nor will be it something that is an "Out thing", it's just simply attempting to keep the forums as clean as possible. As much as you may feel that 1 or 2 word posts are not considered as spam, on WebFlake it is spam. We're not here to try and have a extremely high total post count, we're here simply to help other members, if we feel that the post isn't a valuable post then it will be deleted. You didn't receive a warning for your post, it was only deleted. Please take into consideration that myself or any of the other moderators here on WebFlake get paid for doing this, we do it voluntarily. WebFlake is also a FREE website to use, we distribute paid and free downloads across MyBB, XenForo, vB and IP.Board and offer free support for our members. You creating this post is just creating more unnecessary work for us, and believe it or not, we do actually have a life outside WebFlake. Posting "This can be beneficial. Thanks!" would of been more suited by just giving the user a reputation point. Saying "Thanks" and "This can be beneficial, Thanks!" is pretty much the same, it doesn't help the author of the post nor does it help any other user viewing the topic as the number of reputation would show any users who are curious to see if the download is any good would be sufficient. If you wish to thank a member for their download/tutorial you can do so by clicking which can be located in the bottom right hand corner of their post, just above their signature. If you are having a problem with the hook, then feel free to post your problem in the support topic and a user or topic started may be able to help you. Verified has actually posted a post regarding thanking members in the support topic in the site announcements section: http://webflake.sx/topic/7568-regarding-thanking-members-for-downloadstutorials/ Quote from the announcement: Please note, your account has not been issued a warning, so you're getting let of lightly, then creating a topic moaning about your post being deleted is just ridiculous. I hope this has cleared up your issue, Thanks, Kingy

In fact it was myself who deleted this post. Please note the above underlined text. You still put a variation of "thanks" on a download topic which is prohibited. Therefore, It was deleted. The quote is taken directly from the community guidelines. Your post said and I quote
