Thread was junked but no reason given?

Hello, I made a webhosting service thread in the hosting section and when I came back it was junked. No pm sent to me or anything regarding why. I checked rules and I also don't see one that I broke? Kinda confused as to why it was junked.
Honestly, staff don't need to give you a reason why they trashed your thread. But know that they won't trash your thread for the sake of trashing your thread, so you probably broke a rule.
Read the section rules and the Help Docs. Also, don't forget to add a contract to your marketplace threads.

Contract button is added automatically now when you post a thread

Ya but I would like to know what rule I broke so that I can ensure I don't break it again...kinda unproductive to just junk it and not tell me what I did wrong. That's like smacking a kid without saying anything to him first or after lol. But ya...I did read the Help Docs/rules and had two contract buttons, one above and one below the thread itself so I dunno why it would have been junked. I want to re-post it but don't wanna get in shit for it and then being told "well we junked the first one you should have known"

Staff go through a ton of reports, no need to be so upset. You had to break a rule or maybe was a simple mistake. Read the Help Docs and make sure.

I can guarantee your thread isn't the only thread they junked today, or even within the hour that they junked it. What doesn't make sense is for them to contact every OP of every thread that they delete to tell them why it was deleted. Everyone needs to do their own due diligence. It's no one else's responsibility but yours to make sure that you follow the rules, which is why I referenced the Help Docs and sectional rules. Reading those will take you far.

Don't ever expect staff to contact you just to let you know they trashed your thread and why. But if it's serious enough, you'll get a warning or ban and they'll leave a reason for you there. I guess just be grateful you weren't warned/banned. shrug

I get what you're saying but before posting & after it was junked I went through the Help Docs and didn't see any violation. That's why I opened this thread.... Anyway I sent the thread info to you. Maybe you can see something I didnt
Because you link to your own site. Only Vendors can do that.
