i posted in the PIF group and my thread got closed because i didnt get permission from a mod. ok i understand that but it said nowhere in the rules that you had to. then i pm this mod and asked why she couldnt have just pmd me and talked to me instead of closing the thread and i also tried talking to her about what i have to do about being a part of the group but she seems content on keeping the thread closed so can i just get a pm from a mod that can actually help me instead of just telling me im doing something wrong?

I'm not a mod, but I can see a couple of things that I can answer.
1. there were rules posted about the contests, I will find you a link. You need to PM a mod and tell them what you want to do, and how, etc. (here)
2. then you need to have patience and wait for them to respond
3. they closed the thread because you didn't follow the rules, so it had to stop and you need to follow the correct channels.
Does that make sense?
EDIT: it says "All PIF member sponsored contests must first be presented to the moderating team and approved before they can be posted on the forum."
There are others, but that was the quickest to find.
On another note: these mods are volunteers, and it's dinner time for some people, we sometimes need to remember that they have lives too.

For anyone wondering here is the pm I sent as to why this was closed:
Your thread was closed because you failed to follow not just PIF rules but ECF rules. All contests must be mod approved. You need to submit your idea to a mod and wait for approval before posting contest. This is to protect our members. No offense here but you have only 20 posts. Before we allow anyone to start a contest we need to verify who they are and what their intentions are. When we see this type thread started without approval we will close it immediately - this is for the protection of our members. It is up to YOU to read the rules not up to us to PM you after the fact.

Tweakd, you need to read the rules. You will find the information there.
I understand that you want help, but you have to be willing to do some of the work.
