I made like 3 posts in the last days and all get deleted the next day. Can anyone explain me why?

Taken from the site guidelines:
Recommendations/Experiences:
You may post a personal recommendation or experiences that you have personally had first hand but you cannot self promote your business or any commercial entity that you have any association with. Any posts that violate this guideline will be removed. Recommendations are more credible when you are an active participant on the site with at least 10 posts. It is recommended that you do not post a recommendation or experience with less than 10 posts.

Depends on what you are posting.

If you directly attack another person it may be removed also. If there is profanity in the post it may be removed.

Without knowing the subject matter, it would be hard to speculate. Some newbies merely want to promote a product, or a friend's business. I've certainly seen posts that are obviously written by trolls and designed to annoy people and "get them going". The Admins usually have very good reasons for deleting posts. Why don't you send them a message and enquire?

If the admins delete a post, do they email you and tell you why? I've had one deleted (asking for what I thought was a free Kindle book site that wasn't) but don't remember back that far if they told me or I asked.
Whenever they change a new post to another category, they always email me and tell me they moved it.

ok nevermind that. one of the posters already said it.
this site is not for businesses to advertise themselves. not sure that's what you did, but it looks most likely. the site makes money for providing that service.

You may not understand this website completely, nor do I. However, I see you posted something about a good experience you had in a restaurant in Ocala. That's all that shows you posted other than this specific one I am responding to.
You may be questioning why you don't see it your post under New Posts and not really that it has been deleted. This is the part I don't understand either. I do know if you get responses, it will stay in the forefront of posts. If no one responds, it kind of goes by the wayside. I have also logged on at various times of the day and see numerous pages of posts and then later in the day and there is hardly any. That is what I don't understand.
Maybe admin can chime in here and help us all understand.

If no one is posting on a thread, the ones that are getting posts, move up to the top of the new posts.
The OP can go to the homepage under the topic he posted on and it could be there.
His name on the post said 4 posts, but profile only shows 2. That more than likely means 2 of his posts were deleted for whatever reason.
