Hello,

I just need more details on why my project has been taken down. My project was called Evoslash.

Reasons being brought forward were:

- Sponsored content of any kind is NOT allowed and will be immediately removed

  -> I don't have any sponsors

- Projects that prominently feature a third-party logo are not allowed

  -> No third-party logo, all the logos are mine

- Off-topic projects will be removed

  -> Don't think so
- Abusive, racist, and sexist conduct will not be tolerated.

  -> Nope

Could I know specifically why my project has been taken down so that I can understand what I am supposed to do ?

Have a nice day,
Manu

HaD really needs to implement countermeasures against automated posting bots which are still flooding the forum at this moment.

I got a private message below, which is quite obviously spam. There's no button to "report" a personal message, so I'm putting it here.

If this turns out not to be spam, please let me know. :-)

Greetings

Please, would you be willing to come to France if I invited you or made arrangements for you to come to enable us actualize or close a bank deal worth 12,712,208:00 Million Euros? Please, let me know via my email address (jeanbeunardeau44@gmail.com) so that I can offer you with more information on the nature of the deal.

Your Sincerely,

Prof. Jean Beunardeau

I received the same message from the same user. Definitely spam.

Same for me this morning and reported it as spam.

Too bad guys, I'm in France now having a great time with Dr Jean!

How often are views updated?

I can't update/change my email, updating it from account setting is not working.

It keeps sending verification email to the current email even when I provide a new one, after clicking the verify URL the email dos not change.

A POST request is sent on Update click, gets status 200 response with a JSON containing {"error":null}

update API:  `https://hackaday.io/api/profile/update`

it changed, but it took few minutes, I think it should not be this long, in this time I managed to Update email and verify the old one 3 times because the new was not set yet.

There's a HTML generation bug for the global feed, and maybe My feed. In a comment on the global feed, the "more" link to see the whole comment is faulty. In this case it was "https: //hackaday.io/profile/184074#j-discussion-195960", which is missing a /. The correct link used by View all comments is "https: //hackaday.io/profile/184074/#j-discussion-195960", I've inserted a space in those URLs to prevent the website from parsing them as links.

I cant seem to report a "project", but https://hackaday.io/project/194205-trust-roc-relocation-your-stress-free is literally just an ad for a company and was featured on my "discover" page

In the LHS column of the project's page there's a link Report as inappropriate under the dates of project creation and last update. Click on that and report as spam.

It seems I can't reply back to a comment that is >3-4 levels deep? 

https://hackaday.io/project/194177-realistic-roller-coaster/log/226229-motor-options

It seems I can't reply directly to zoxoxu's last reply? There are no options. I understand not wanting to nest that deeply, but I don't see another option...

Would like to know what term my project violated.

I can't seem to upload a 50k jpg file for a project log.

May have just been an intermittent issue, not seeing any errors on my end. Try again or PM the file or one similar to me and I can check it out.

Mastodon requires to have rel="me" in the link back to Mastodon in order to show the link to the website as verified - GitLab already doing that, but Hackaday shows external links as

<a href="https://mastodon.social/@shaos" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">

can you please add me to the rel-list like rel="me nofollow noopener" ? Thanks !

I'll look into this, thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks

Is it possible to unlink my account from Twitter/X?  Or to search this project discussion for anyone else asking the same question?

I can unlink twitter, are you able to login with email currently?

can i repost it without sponsor content ?

I also cannot upload images.

I cannot add any more photos to my writeup and I cannot align the photos in the editor in a way that sticks and is predictable. IMHO Microsoft Word is a better experience. 

Image upload seems to be broken this morning...

the dark theme sucks, not contrasted at all, I hate it.

I know people with vision issues who prefer dark theme because it provides higher contrast than black on white. You of course can still hate it (I in fact am not  a fan) but don’t blame it on contrast.

This dangerous project should be removed. He will set Halloween costumes on fire. https://hackaday.io/project/192959-programming-propane-espnow-and-walkway-upgrades

It's too dark in here.
