Hello! Have some questions!

[sethneal]

I'm new to this forum. Was directed here from Reddit. Asked a question in the Construction page and my question and account got deleted. Are there specific rules to the types of questions you can ask? I'm just looking to connect with people who have more experience than me who might be able to help. Thanks.

Asked a question in the Construction page and...

Banning happens when a post is spam or insulting.

What was your question?

Well, I asked for ideas on how to duplicate a certain feature of a production RV trailer I found. I did link to the trailer so people could see what I was referring to. Maybe that was it? But I honestly don't know how else I would have asked.

From my understanding, that's within the rules of the forum. It's okay to link to a site about trailers, especially if asking about them.

I'm quick to report spam, but I don't remember reporting a post like that. Usually the spam is obviously linking to totally unrelated sites, perhaps with some gratuitous comments that don't really amount to anything (looking like something AI generated) to try and mislead folks into thinking it isn't spam. Or, lately, the gratuitous comment comes first, and the spammer edits to add the link later, after everyone has seen the post. I've read that they are really trying to scam the person who pays for the link to be posted that way, since an old post is less likely to be reported and removed.

Anyway, sorry if it was my fault! Of course, we can report suspected spam, and then a moderator decides and has power to remove, etc.

I suggest you go on, and ask the question with the link.

Some months ago there was some interest in adding a few admins/mods. A few of us volunteered and I haven’t seen a peep about it since. More hands would sure seem logical to me.
