Yeah it was great to see your post and see all the changes you made off the back of our feedback! You’ve clearly been working hard on it.

We don’t see many personal projects on here so I was shocked to see it get removed. “Lack of progression” is not a reason to remove a post like that, especially given the progression since the first post has been huge!

That wasn't the reason I gave. I supplied my thinking where I took the action.

>“Lack of progression”

You're quoting something that literally doesn't exist.

I'm taking that wording from the OP who said you since edited it. Anyway, the reason you gave in that thread was: "Self promotion is permitted and even encouraged. However the frequency of this posting of this job board is too high and just comes off to me as a little bit spammy so I'm locking this thread."

I take massive issue with this for the following reasons:

  1. This was only the second time this guy had posted about it and it had been a month since his prior post. This is objectively not "spammy". I absolutely agree that there perhaps needs to be some kind of limit but once a month is not it.
  2. It takes guts from him to do this but based on our strong feedback in the initial thread to focus on salary transparency, he completely changed the application to revolve around this idea.
  3. The guy has been nothing but respectful in his posts and in the comments even after receiving some harsh feedback from various commenters.
  4. We should be supporting our local devs and businesses, particularly smaller ones
  5. There is not enough content to justify removing posts like this. It's not like the place is filled with it. If that starts to happen, then revise the rules as needed.
  6. The post had a ton of upvotes but it seems like based on one objectively incorrect comment, you decided to remove it. That commented included: "it looks like you’ve just ignored all of this and posted again??" even though he very clearly took our feedback onboard and made massive changes.
  7. As I said in another comment, there is no need to heavily moderate this subreddit. It's not one that attracts many controversial or political posts and so the users themselves can up/downvote as they see fit.

u/Dev__ So instead of admitting you made the wrong decision, you're just going to downvote and ignore?
