Rules Infracted Twice for Duplicated Thread

    I am trying to makes a sales thread for a only today daily special, and I had a similar sales thread a week ago that closed after a day. After posting the new thread, same product, today, I was infracted and the thread removed.

    I posted another thread with a note to the mod, explaining my stance, asking not to remove my thread because it is unique to today, and I was infracted again, and my thread was deleted again.

    I would like to have a daily special today, but am not able to.
    Would the mod who has infracted me explain their stance?

    Regardless of what moderator gave you the infractions, you are not permitted to create duplicate threads.

    This forum isn't meant to be used for gimmicks and "one-day sales" just so you can generate business for the same product again and again.

    You are allowed to create ONE thread for a product or service.

    daily special? this ain't a bakery.

    we don't do "daily specials". you start one thread only for your product and if needed, advertise it in your signature link. if you continue to start the same thread over and over you'll continue to receive infractions.

    Why have the one day sales thread option then?

    It's for offering a different products or services and not for the purpose of offering the same products or services again and again.

    hmmm. : /

    Well, since my initial one day thread is over, cannot be bumped, represents a price I do not want to maintain longer than a day, what can I do? The mercy of the court! Any mods willing to vouche for me as I make a enteral sales thread? I'd hate to try agains in vain... and without support.

    My reply would be that you're shit out of luck. The rules apply to you the same as they do to me, or anyone else.

    Really there are/were no rules against making 1 day sales specials for the same product more than one day, before I posted. I figured I was making good marketing choices...

    If I open a permanent sales thread, will you guys let it stay? I really have no other thread other than the one that cannot be bumped, and its too low of price, so its worthless really.

    Good Marketing Choices...lol...you thought you found a way to keep your thread at the top since you can't bump it there.

    The right marketing choice would have been to contact a mod who could have edited it for you, but you thought you would just clutter up the forum with a post every day.

    The DP search feature works really well and if people are looking for what you have to offer, they will find it and for those who don't want what you are selling, we don't have to look at the same damn thread every day with a different price.

    PM me the changes you would like made to your first thread and I will open it up and make the changes.

    thank you verry much for your help! I'll figure out where I'm at and get right to you.

    I didn't know all threads there didn't bump. Is that the case? So even if I made a new thread that had no stipulation, it wouldn't bump in the marketplace?

    copied straight from the FAQ/Rules about duplicate threads.

    And I'm not sure what sub-forum you are talking about because I haven't even taken the time to look at it. But the ones I've been posting threads lately are just in the order they were received unless you have an ending time stated then it comes up to the top right before it ends.
