Why did my post get deleted or locked?

Question

As you may have seen in this forum, there are a fair amount of topics being locked or deleted, with given reasons.

The main reason for this is because there have been alot of Windows Vista technical support queries (setup/troubleshooting etc...)

These forums are for software development only - not technical support. The correct links to place your question are usually given in a reply.

As well as this, it must be noted that these annoucements/sticky's must be read to prevent any misunderstanding/frustration on both parties/sides. It must also be noted that any abuse is not tolerated on these forums and must be kept at a professional manner

This annoucement in particular should be read before posting your query in this forum.
