post closed

so why was my post closed? it was a helped wanted post. I got one reply...that wasnt showing on my post anymore...and it says closed. I didnt recieve any notice from anyone saying they were closing the post or why.
  • Moderator note...all of the above posts are correct. I deleted numerous posts attacking your position. They tore it to shreds. The trolls are out in force.

    Therefore, to protect your posts, I deleted them and closed the topic.

    DianneOK moderator
  • The mods were pretty specific awhile back. For work camping, they allow the location and name of the campground, how many hours and a contact number..that's it...

    While your post is "closed" it's still there for anyone to read. If it violated forum rules, they remove it completely.....Dennis
  • You have supplied the information about the post. Just because the post is now "closed", anyone can click on the links to the left of your original post and send you a private message. You can then have a dialogue (privately) about the position with a potential worker this way without getting all kinds of negativity on the forum thread.

    Moderators usually close Workcamping threads pretty fast, but that should not prevent ANYONE with a User ID on RV.net from contacting you.

    Here's a link to another post where someone asked the same question not 'that' long ago: Click here.
  • The reason posts are closed here is because there are too many people who overvalue their 2 cents. Someone makes a post offering a site for Y hours, guaranteed someone will pipe in right away with their calculator in hand saying that, since their site costs X amount on their website and they want Y hours, they're only "paying" the person Z dollars/hour instead of just minding their own business and letting someone else decide whether they want to take the offer or not.

    It discourages people from offering up jobs here, which undermines the purpose of this forum.
  • Help wanted posts are closed right after they are posted because if they are left open some people post about how lousy the pay is, how bad the hours are, how bad the location is etc. etc. The answer to me lies somewhere in between. Help wanted ads should be closed to future postings but not shown as closed until the position is filled.
  • Good question....after going back and reading your posts I did not see anything different than other workcampers posting
