Paid to have AD pinned, very confused...

[wrighterjw10]

Paid my $10 to have an ad pinned.  Never did it before, I’m a BST regular for years. 
 

My original post has been up for about 7-8 hours.  I wanted to have it pinned.  I messaged as instructed.  Paid my $10.

 

i recvd a message that left me confused....

 

”If I pin your as and it is removed, your funds are forfeited. You are in violation of a few rules. 
 

Please resolve issues with mods as I do not moderate the bst. Please ask and refer questions to the bst ad help forum.”

I cannot figure out what rule my ad is breaking.  It’s been up (I would think if it breaks a rule it would have been removed).

 

can someone please help decode what that message means?

I just read thru the BST rules and honestly I cannot see any rule my ad is breaking...I’m so confused.  I think he’s trying to say if he pins my ad it’ll be pulled.  
 

BUT, why not tell me what rule he believes I’m breaking?  I read thru the rule list multiple times...I’m not breaking a single rule.

Your ad is below and that message/blurb was just standard info when pinning ad.

Yes that is my ad.   How do I get it pinned?  I paid, send the PM and was told I’m breaking a rule?  My ad has been up and I can’t see a single rule im breaking?  
 

thank you for answering

I think you misunderstood standard message/response you received.  I don’t handle pinned ads, can’t help you there.

Yes I’m positive I did.  I’m super confused.  The message doesn’t seem clear to me.  Can you help clarify how I get this ad pinned?

Ask the moderators and they will tell you. Like he said he is saving you from not getting that 10 dollars back. Might be something so simple you wont see it. Believe me, Ive been booted for a month finally realizing what rule I was breaking. There is a learning curve for sure. Read the rules and if you dont know, ask in the adhelp section.

The way I pin and Ad is send the 10 dollars via goods and services to the golfwrx paypal account. Email GXGOLFER and ask to Pin Ad and include your email. That is what I usually do and I have no issues.

I just don’t understand why he wouldn’t just tell me.  I don’t understand why a mod posted in here and linked my ad, but also doesn’t tell me.  I’m not trying to be difficult.

they way I’m seeing it, he’s telling me I’m breaking a rule (and my ad will be removed).  
 

My ad has been up all day and not removed.  I’ve read thru the rules and cannot figure it out.

 

i posted in here for help.  A mod responded by linking my ad.  I still don’t see what I’m doing wrong.
 

I just need help and I’ll correct it.

You don’t have a violation or I would have removed your ad!

That’s what I thought.  But why is my ad not pinned?

edit:  told my ad breaks a rule and won’t be pinned (which I appreciate not just losing my $10).  Then I’m told it doesn’t break a rule or it would have been removed sooner.

 

but why is it still not pinned then?

I’m sorry, I’m just trying to get my ad pinned.

 

i was told it violates a rule, and couldn’t be pinned.

 

i was then told it doesn’t violate any rules.

 

id just like to be refunded my $10 or have my ad pinned.  That is all, I’m sorry for the confusion.

Payment details are handled by Gxgolfer - have you corresponded with him?  No one here is trying to give you the runaround as far as marshals, we don’t have access to whether you paid for an ad or not!  As mentioned before, I don’t believe you received a warning message but misinterpreted an automatic response when you made payment.

As explained, I do not moderate the bst and if I pinned it and it was removed, your funds are forfeited. 
 

Here is a screenshot of your profile and a link to how to post an ad.  Your $10 fee is refunded.

Good morning.  I will try to leave all emotion out of my help post.

 

I am attempting to pin an ad, it is currently open. I’ll explain the process I have been through and hope to resolve the issue.

 

I have never pinned an ad before.  Last night, I followed the steps the best I could.  I messaged GXgolfer per the directions.

 

He advises that if the ad was pinned, it would be removed and my money lost due to breaking a BST rule.  I re-read the rules.  I started a help thread, at his direction.  I had a mod tell me that the ad is fine, it would have been previously removed if it broke rules.  I have had multiple people PM me telling me they see no rule breaking.

 

Gxgolfer did respond in that thread, and perhaps it is me being dense, but I still can’t figure it out.  He refunded my $10.  My ad is still not pinned.

 

I have attempted to ask him what the rule is.  He has responded each time with “I am not a mod in BST”.  He also warned me.  
 

I not sure why I got a warning.  I cannot see any rule I broke.  I followed his advice to post here and he (or someone) closed my ad. This is not an attack on him.  
 

I am simply trying to correct the issue so I may pin the ad.  It has frustrated me, but I only want to get the ad pinned.

I closed the topic, you were refunded.
