Did it get "moved" to the trash? I explicitly stated "If this isn't kosher, let me know." But I haven't heard from any Moderators... not trying to break any rules by "advertising" if I'm not a sponsor, just am trying to spread the word about a project of mine as far and wide as possible. So if any mod would like to contact me about my "moved" thread that would be appreciated, a simple "Sorry, you can't do that." would suffice...

They do what they do without explanation, just suck it up and move on.

I have also found that if you want to "find out why" a PM to a member of staff or any moderator is usually the best way to go. I probably got sideways with a few moderators over at TOS because I used to post "WTF?!?" topics in the open.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

I moved your thread to an area where it was not visible, not to the trash. We wanted clarification on if it was considered a group buy or not, and if anybody had given you permission for it. You were seeking funding for a project. You did not ask permission first before doing so. I wanted to check and see if anyone had given you a thumbs up.
It's a splendid idea to ask permission from a staff member before using M4C bandwidth to help fund your invention. This was going to be a PM to you, until I saw your post here.
And to quote SteyrAUG, it would have been a good idea to contact a mod or staff member first. We all do have day jobs, and don't live on the forum 24/7. So some of us don't post or respond here while we are at work. Therefore you may not get an immediate note about something. It might take a while. In your case, it took about 24 hours. As others have mentioned, this mod/staff thing is an unpaid position and we all have day gigs to pay for that expensive ammo & stuff.
This is not a beatdown, this is an explanation. In the future, it would be a very good idea to check first before creating that kind of post.
So the main question is - can you tell me who you contacted before posting the thread, so I can go verify with them? If you did not, please let me know that as well.
Thanks.

The OP and I had a good and pleasant discussion via PM, and in the words of my hero Jules from Pulp Fiction: "We cool."
I hope his project works out, I like innovation.
I'm also moving this thread to the Site Questions subforum, since it's not really a GD topic.
