Why was my post deleted? - Interior Design

You can't really expect a moderator to stop calling a situation by its actual name just because you don't like the label.
As I’ve mentioned before—and I feel like I'm repeating myself here—nearly every single one of your posts seems to contain both elements.
If you truly believe someone is trolling or veering off-topic, then by all means, just file a formal report.
The rules are meant to be applied equally to everyone, regardless of who they are.

Like I've already pointed out, almost every single one of your posts contains both issues.
If you think someone is trolling or derailing, just report them properly.
The rules apply to everyone equally.

😁
And you're claiming it was a duplicate post? That’s another falsehood, because it wasn't a duplicate—you actually went in and edited the content.

However, I am happy to ask why something qualifies as trolling.

So, silversailor, why exactly was my post considered trolling?

By the way, regarding the "off-topic" accusations 🙂
Since you keep repeating yourself, feel free to point out exactly where I'm trolling or going off-topic, just so you aren't talking to thin air.
I only brought up those other posts to highlight the inconsistency in how moderation standards are applied, specifically regarding why my post was wiped for being "trolling," which you still haven't explained.
I have nothing to report. I'm simply doing my part, and I see how things are going for you over in the Comments section.

I'm waiting for an answer to the bolded part.

My apologies—this is a duplicate post. I didn't realize the thread had been moved to a different section of the site, so I went ahead and drafted this one before deleting the old version. Just a quick heads-up.

You've received my response. Look, I’m really not here to get into a shouting match—though, from what I can see, you seem quite determined to go down that road.
At this point, I think it's best if we just ask the moderators to weigh in and share their take on this.

I think deleting the post was the wrong move on the mod's part. If they thought it was just trolling, they should've slapped him with a warning or a ban instead of playing this delete-and-restore game. My bad if I overstepped.

Honestly, I think you both said your piece. Anything beyond this is just going to turn into a pointless back-and-forth.
