Two of my discussions on Product Hunt were removed. And honestly? I’m glad they were.

I support structured, high-value discussions—nobody wants forums filled with spam and self-promotion. But here’s the issue: understanding what qualifies as “valuable.”

Product Hunt’s updated guidelines push for original, engaging, and non-replicable content. Makes sense. But when posts disappear without clear reasoning, it creates confusion.

• Where’s the line between sharing insights and self-promotion?

• What defines a post as “high-value” in this new system?

• Why not offer feedback instead of outright removals?
  

Stronger moderation is great if paired with transparency. Instead of guessing what works, clearer guidelines and examples could help everyone create better discussions.

At the end of the day, I’d rather post once with impact than ten times into the void.

What do you think?
