I posted a thread yesterday looking for an engine stand in Germany. I check to see if there are any responses, and I can't find it. I look it up in my Watched Threads file, and it is in a forum labeled "Abuse/Garbage". It has one resopnse, but when I click on it, I get "This thread does not exist".
WTF? I'm not posting abuse. I'm looking for an engine stand to borrow.
Is it abuse of the site to ask someone for assistance? I thought that and sharing knowledge was the whole point of this site.

depending upon the thread, it may have been construed as an want ad -- you may need to post a WTB ad in the classifieds...

Yes, it appears it was viewed as a wanted ad, especially since it was a new thread instead of adding it to your existing engine thread.

You can add the request to your existing engine thread if you wish, or post a classified ad.

The "Abuse/Garbage" Forum means it was moved to our Administrative area for removed posts, it doesn't mean it was abusive. That area is accessible only to moderators.

Ok, thanks.
