i need help i was flagged as spam for no reason.

i posted an ad in the classified/for sale forum last night with some info about my crafts i make. i didn't do ANYTHING spamish at all. i simply posted pictures of my work, and my facebook contact information. this is the second time this has happened, and to be honest i have no clue why. i posted my ad, just like all the other ads i had seen TO MAKE SURE i was doing it right. now i can't figure out how to "make an appeal" because when i click on it, it give me nothing but a list of reasons why it was moved. well NOTHING in my post matched any of those reasons. i have tried to figure out where to contact people on this page [admins. and so fourth] but i have had ZERO luck.

make an appeal"
now when i try to post something ^this^ pops up....how do i remove this, and get my post back? thanks in advance.

Seems like it was spam..or so they think.

You cannot appeal a spam decision.

The issue is that you, from what I can tell due to join date and lack of posts, seem to be using our forum to try to get business. That's not what we're here for. Established members can advertise their wares because they already bring value to the forum. You need to establish yourself though before you go spamming around links because it makes you look like you're simply here to exploit us.

so if you haven't been around a long time, or post a lot,...you are considered a spammer when you post links/ads?

thank you so much!

Quoting LCsMum:"

Not true.

And if it was, you telling someone how to cheat the rules wouldn't go over well... EH?

how do i do that?

im not spamming anyone. i posted ONE topic thread. i am not trying to exploit anyone, i was just trying to share my crafts with people, like all of the other sellers on the forum.

Yes, if you are not a regularly contributing member, it is spam to use this forum just to get business.

How do you do what, become a contributing member?

Post more, answer questions etc. You have practically no posts and you've only been here a couple of months, so far you're not showing you intend to stick around and use this forum for anything other than selling stuff.

are there rules posted for this kind of stuff, because that's slightly unfair. because i don't post a lot, or comment a lot, i am judged...that's pretty harsh.

it was a misunderstanding, i wasn't trying to get over on anyone or anything. had i known i needed to be "established" i'd have never even attempted to post anything.

This a community of mothers/parents and we like to talk, vent, get advice. Its nice to know youre not alone in things and other peoples kids go through the same phases or have the same behavior issues. Some people are nice, others, not so much lol I advise you to utilize the ignore button and never ever make an I hate BG thread/BG bitches thread lol

Once you establish yourself in the community you may try again, I advise using the creation forum.

Yes, there are rules. http://forum.baby-gaga.com/about2012768.html

it is the use of gaga to do free business or otherwise exploit the members of the forum that we're trying to curtail.



You don't think it's fair you don't have a privilege others have had to earn?

That's a bit silly, don't you think?
