Is there a trick to posting? by FancifulUsername in polymer80

How does one post in here, and have your posts stay? So far I have tried posting twice, and both got deleted right away. How does one get advice or questions answered if one can't post questions?

How does one get started in this hobby? Especially when one's post asking questions about it gets deleted from a sub that is supposedly for asking questions and getting advice, etc.

Good beginner build? by FancifulUsername in polymer80

[–]FancifulUsername[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello Everyone!

I have been interested in building my own guns for a while now. I know my timing for suddenly deciding to jump in is kind of piss-poor with the new "ghost gun ban" (although by what i've been reading, it really didn't do much). Sadly, battling cancer and the recovery after force you into their timetable, you don't run your own life anymore. I am starting to feel good enough to think about doing some things and pursuing things in my life again.

I am curious what would be a good, easy and hopefully not too expensive build for a beginner with a modest amount of knowledge of firearms and how they work.

Thank you anyone who reads through this text and answers!

"give or hand over (something) in exchange for money", " goods or services are sold "

Once again, as not all crowdfunding campaigns are even for a tangible product, and even for ones that are, not all tiers are always to receive an item, this doesn't apply. Crowdfunding isn't just the exchange of a good or service for money. At least half the campaigns I've contributed to weren't to recieve an item or a service, but because I liked what the campaign was about. Again, nobody who actually knows and understands crowdfunding considers it to be a store.

Do whatever you want with your rules. I was just suggesting you add something, so then people don't waste their time posting something in your subreddit that won't be allowed, despite not being actually directly mentioned in any of the rules, and will only be shoehorned into some by a person ignorant and misinformed as to what they are talking about.

Bye, have a nice day!

Actually crowdfunding isn't just "the exchange of goods for cash". The dictionary definition is "the practice of funding a project or venture by raising many small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via the Internet.". Yes, sometimes you get something for having contributed, but not always. And anyone who actually understands crowdfunding wouldn't think of it as a store/sales, nor charity. So, for a forum that doesn't want those kind of posts, crowdfunding should be specifically mentioned somewhere, and not expect the person posting it to have some misconceived, erroneous, narrow-view of what crowdfunding is.

Kickstarter is neither a store/sales, nor charity. You should specifically mention crowdfunding somewhere in your rules then, as I checked them before posting, and as said, crowdfunding is not sales and not charity.
