That could have very well been me who deleted your first post as spam, so I'm sorry if we banned you by what seems to be an accident - or rather collateral damage of dealing with spam daily.
While TA doesn't get completely flooded by spam like other forums, we do get a fair amount.
I'm checking if there is a history on the spambans, and if we can find out why your post got deleted. Can you provide the username and/or name of the game, that'll make it easier to find it if there's a history?
Cannot speak for the other spam police and mods, but here's why I would delete a new game post (which happens very rarely):
- Spammy thread title, e.g. "check out this cool game!"
- Spammy post content that makes you look like a marketing bot, e.g. "I found this cool game totally by accident, and it's the best I ever played (yeah sure...)" . Note that these two are only an indicator and not a "will always delete when I see this" hard rule.
- Your link to the game does not go directly to the Appstore, but to some link shortener or other suspicious-looking non-Appstore site. For me, that's always a huge red flag, and I will not try the link cause it could hide malware.
- In short, anything that makes you look like a marketing shill/bot and not a real user. But this is mostly gut feeling and experience, not a hard-and-fast decision tree. And when I come across something like that, I usually ask a mod for a second opinion (e.g. if the post is coming from a known spam IP).
- UPDATE: Forgot one: If suddenly a lot of new users pop up and post / start threads about how great a game is. But again, this is only an indicator, not a hard rule. When in doubt, I prefer to assume that those are real players who like the game and just found Toucharcade.
And no worries, your English is good
