Rules Infracted and Thread Moved to Wrong Forum

Discussion in 'Support & Feedback' started by MickeyFinn, Sep 28, 2009.

    I posted a thread in the Services forum because I'm hiring someone to provide....a service.

    My thread was moved to freebies and I received an infraction:

    This is not a freebies thread. I'm paying someone for a service. Apologies if my post was too complex for the mod to understand. ;)

    Do you get infractions for the wrong forums?

    Besides the wrong category, you are also asking people to create accounts at forums for you. Most probably that kind of thing is not allowed.

    Better to look for services with a minimum amount. For example $20 per 40 posts...

    The job is $50 for 100 forums minimum.

    So all the article sellers selling at $0.01 per word must be moved to Freebies?

    Okay, I'll be sure to report every mention I see.

    You didn't clearly write that in your post:

    "100 then great" isn't the same as "100 minimum".

    50 cents a pop? That's good money. I can do way more than "profiles" for that kind of dough. I could populate your whole forum and probably save you some money too. Unless I read that wrong, simply posting profiles on a forum for 50 cents is pretty decent pay.

    Infractions just mean that you are doing something. May have been wrong, but at least you are participating. We all get them from time to time. I wouldn't worry too much, if you are really paying that somebody will surely hit you up on that offer.

    Of course you did. It's a $2 offer. Anything that is $5 or less must go in Freebies.
