Hello,
We want to open a discussion about the group deletion.
We are a group of Drupal project divelopers with more then 300 members all over the world (12 languages speaking)
For the last 10 days we traing to open a group in you drupal site for joining you projects.
But every time we are deleted by contect moderator. And get this note:

"Your Group entry entitled "Best projects" has been deleted by our content moderator. Our group guidelines are posted at http://groups.drupal.org/node/add/og. The group has been deleted from our site, though any posts inside the group should are still available.
You can discuss our group deletion policy at http://groups.drupal.org/groups-drupal-org
Note:
It's best to be part of the Drupal.org and groups.drupal.org communities before submitting group proposals. You're welcome to join other groups in the USA and post relevant content there. If like-minded members of the community are interested, you can propose and co-organize new groups.
Regards,
The groups.drupal.org team"

As we can not open a group - we are following this note and communit with other group members.
But we are getting mails from them how can we join you group? We can not answer them that we do not have any group - and that every time we are deleted by contect moderator. So we are forced to invite them to our site for joining us. We do not think that it is good to do so.
So, we kindly ask you for urgent help to open us a group of freelance drupal developers or something like that. And not delete us by contect moderator anymore.
Thank you very much.

Your use of this site so far

Your use of this site so far is borderline spam. You posted this event into the new york group even though it has nothing to do with new york. It's not even clear that it's actually an event - it seems like you just wanted to promote your services.

This "discussion" is also basically spam: promoting your services to the groups "Consulting and Business · High performance · Social Networking Sites · Project Management" where the only one that is close to on topic is "consulting and business." Nodes on Groups.drupal.org are not really for overt promotions of a business.

The group you are worried about being deleted inappropriately had this purpose:

A space to work on building and maintaining most interesting Drupal projects. For the long-term health of a group, this goup will have more than one group organizer.

Taking the sentences in reverse order
* Yes, groups should have multiple organizers. But that's not the purpose of the group.
* Groups.drupal.org is not a place to work on building and maintaining Drupal projects unless you are talking about modules or themes. And if you are talking about modules and themes, the way you created the group is not really appropriate.

Please read around on the site and see the other kinds of content being posted here. Continuing to post content like you have will likely result in your account being blocked and the content deleted.

Please let me know how can I remove my notes from High performance · Social Networking Sites · Project Management and New York City. Or remove them please by yourself.
Leave it in the topic "consulting and business" only.
Thank you.
