I’m pretty new here, I made a post and I’m not sure why it was flagged as spam and hidden. My post was a job offer for a Senior Engineer to develop interactive fiction tools. I’m building a new company in this space and I thought it would be a nice place to find some collaborators. Is there an issue doing so?
I want to be a nice guest on this forum, so I’m just curious. I’m interested in finding people with a passion with interactive fiction and pay for their help. If this is not allowed, I’m fine with this. I just need to know if this was an error or policy.
Personally I don’t think your post is beyond the pale, because we specifically do allow looking for collaborators here, and we also allow promotion of commercial IF ventures. So I’ve restored it for now; if the community disagrees, feel free to say so here.
Not an admin, but I think a new person advertising a job offer for an AI-integrated platform tripped some red flags. It’s not against the rules but we’ve had spammers/scammers post similar things in the past so people are probably jumpy about it.
If you hang around and participate in the community a bit beyond advertising people will be much more likely to give you the benefit of the doubt!
I used your word with a straight face just there now! A friend of my daughter’s told her that her 9th birthday would be her last one with single digits – so I was able to say it would be her last single-digith birthday.
They asked whether it was a word, so I confirmed that it “really is a word, just not a real word”. That’s as far as I felt I could go in all honesty…
They also asked about 99th and 999th birthdays so I was able to coin “double-digith” and “triple-digith”.
I agree that your post after review is legit. As stated before when we get new users whose initial post is a job offer with a seemingly unrelated link that’s usually something we will usually discard.
I followed your link and saw that it was the job posting you specify, however the one-box the link created appears as though it links to a website that has nothing to do with IF based on the description. We have spammers who will try to sneak inappropriate commercial links into messages so they’ll get web-crawled on our site. That’s one of the things we warn people about and we do get lots of job-offer links that are phishing scams.
