Thank you @Bobiisha ,

As I am new to Google so I thought,

Thanks a lot.

@Bobiisha

As I’m ew to connect, I’m trying my best to write something interesting.

Please suggest me something to write.

And may I also know why and when a post is moved to off-topic post.

I wrote a post yesterday “Northeast India” which was about the “Music festival of Northeast India you don’t want to miss”.

Hey @Bishal_Agarwalla ,

A post is moved to archive when it is consider off-topic. That means it doesn’t comply with any of the Connect topics. You can find more about them here.

Another reason for moving a post off-topic is if the content is not yours. We encourage Local Guides to post only original photos and texts. That’s how we keep the diversity in our community.

P.S.: If you want to make a good post I suggest that you read this tips.
