User Support & Resources - Need a moderator to PM me please, thanks

Need a moderator to PM me please. I have tried the contact link and haven't heard back from anyone. Thanks

really not a single mod can respond lol

Is this regarding a technical issue with the site or a moderation issue?

Guessing it may be post count related?

ya they keep getting deleted. I had over 50, which should have been over 60 and I keep going back to 0. What gives?!

are others having the same problem?

I suspect this:

For Sale Forums - Posting Problems

Every registered user on LS1tech is now required to have a minimum of 50 posts, or a minimum of 6 months membership duration before they can gain the privilege of posting a NEW THREAD or REPLY in the Classifieds sections, or post FOR SALE ad (or REPLY with selling intent) in any section of the site. Post whoring (i.e. "cool, nice car, ..., sweet.....etc) to reach 50+ posts is not allowed. Post count will be reset to zero with or without any notification. If member is caught post whoring two times they will be banned.

Unfortunately, we've had to put this restriction on our site due to so many lurking scammers popping up and taking honest money. This restriction has helped to ring out a lot of the scammers looking to make a quick buck on our site. Posting for sale items in other forums to circumvent this rule is prohibited and the posts will be deleted.

After your 50th post, it takes a period of 24 hours to update your access to the classifieds forums. DO NOT make a post requesting instant access upon making your 50th post, the system is automated. The database updates certain records on a daily basis, it is not instantaneous. Any threads regarding this will be locked/ignored.

Please do not contact us asking to circumvent this 50 post rule. The system is automated and we do not make exceptions. We feel that the classifieds forums here are a privilege to contributing members, not a free service for new members.

I emphasized a part above that is probably your issue.

Besides a different user title and access to the Classifieds (or join date), post count means nothing. If you think you have a rebuttal, you will want to contact an Admin.

That is really dumb if that is the case. Why else would we be on this site? My general purpose is to look at others vehicles and setups as I put mine together. If someone posts a cool picture then I am going to tell them so. That is polite... not posting just to necessarily get my count up... I have already bought a few thousand dollars worth of parts from members on this site. I will name them if need be. They can vouch that I payed immediately without any complaints or issues. So ya, I MUST just be here to sell my own stuff. And who cares anyway. The point is to bring as many people to the site so you can give the sponsors what they pay for. TRAFFIC! That is why their names are on the side of the page I would assume, am I correct? I own a site myself, so I kinda understand how this part of the game works. Maybe new members should be jumped in also?! Just and idea... Then we can make sure they are serious about participating.

As far as reaching admin, I thought that is what I did, and or, am trying to do now... If you know how to get a hold of one of them or all of them, I would greatly appreciate any help there.

JeremyT, I truly appreciate you shedding some light on the subject. That is probably the situation. But I WON"T know if no one ever contacts me that is supposed to be monitoring this site. I mean, do they give warnings before they delete your posts? Or does everyone just have to guess if they have done something wrong? It would be nice to comment on some of the for sale threads, and ya it would be nice to not have blocks on certain things, but that is obviously not the only reason I am on here, any mod not on a power trip should be able to see that.

every time I post I go back to 1 YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

I mean, do they give warnings before they delete your posts?

This was clearly bolded in the reply above from JeremyT:

Post count will be reset to zero with or without any notification.

This rule is in place for a reason, to protect members from scammers. The purpose of the rule is clearly stated in the quote and link posted above. It's not open for debate. This rule does not prevent you in any way from contacting or doing business with site sponsors.

Not every staff member is able to help you with every concern, so a request for a staff member to PM you, with no further details, will likely yield no response. If you have a question about the site, it should be posted in this section in detail. Please review the FAQ sticky at the top of this section for further information on our site rules and policies.

Thanks,
-TECH Staff.

I mean, do they give warnings before they delete your posts?

Just to let you know, your posts aren't being deleted. I checked your account and only 1 post of yours was deleted and it was because the original poster of the thread deleted their own thread, thus deleting your post.

Your posts aren't being deleted. LS1Tech reset your post counter. Also looking into your account, I don't think you've posted in a technical section, for the past few days, that would even contribute to post count. Thus why you still only show 1 post count. There are some non-technical sections on this site that don't contribute to the post count.
