Where is my thread?

I started a thread this afternoon about giving gifts. Just a suggestion of a gift which supports the business of a woman who was cancelled for supporting biology. Not advertising. I am a genuine user of her products, and I genuinely rate them highly.

It seems to have been deleted, but I have not had any deletion message.

Why?

Hi, OP.

Your thread was taken down as it looked a lot like advertising to us - as you can imagine, we get a lot of spam threads which are similar. We appreciate that you wanted to share your love for that product but we usually take threads like that down, otherwise the boards would be inundated. Spam threads often get zapped completely without a deletion message, which is why you were unawares.

How can I draw posters' attention to something I think good and that I think will be of interest? You could say that any mention of any product for sale is advertising.

I didn't see the original thread so can't comment on that.

But style and beauty often has product recommendation threads. Are there different rules in different sections?

Are there different rules in different sections?
Oh yes. There are extra rules here.

Here's this years thread for feminist gift ideas, you can put your link there @WashAsDelicates

I think it's threads which are specifically promoting one product/site which are likely to be treated as spam, not broader recommendations ones.

Oh ... you posted on that in November, if that's re the site you meant maybe it just needs bumping?

I forgot that I had posted on that thread. Thanks for reminding me Wink
