There is a lot I like about this site, but I'm upset right now. I posted a new topic in the Job-related forum this morning about 10:00 am CST, and it was apparently deleted. I've re-read the forum guidelines, and I don't see how the post violated them. I'm told to PM a moderator, but I can't PM yet since I don't have 25 posts.

Needless to say, I'm frustrated. There has to be a better way of handling these situations.

Was your thread that idiotic one about how "Western women need to diet"? Because if it was you can blame me; I reported it.

What was it about? We need to know that if we are to speculate.

(A suggestion - read everything and post wherever possible until you have 25 posts...just make it a little worthwhile, otherwise people will start to despise you)

My post was about the possibility of doing private tutoring for SAT, GRE, etc., and what the market would be for that. I wanted to know what people were likely charging and how much I could make using that strategy.

I'm guessing it was whacked because a mod thought I would be violating my visa by doing private tutoring -- but I clearly stated that I would be going to Korea with my wife, so it should have been clear that I could do this on a spouse visa.

I refuse to make dumb, unnecessary comments to get to 25 posts, but I don't understand that rule. Newbies are the ones who most need to be able to PM.

There is a sticky that deals with that question, and all discussion has been relegated to that sticky.

There was a lot of abuse made by freshly created accounts.

The sticky is about private lessons in conversational English. It certainly doesn't address my question asking for ideas as to whether or not there would be a demand for SAT tutoring. A lot of people who might have ideas probably won't revisit that thread, but I guess I'll have to post in it anyway.

If I were going to abuse the board, though, I could make 25 posts in about 25 seconds.

Okay, but that only lasts for a minute or so.
