Reply to comment by Guygan in Is there a DIY sub with fewer rules, designed for people trying to get help with DIY? by [deleted]

By that write up everything I've posted meets the guidelines.

This part is in response to your comment but for some reason I couldn't actually post it as a response so I'm putting it here.

Yep definitely tracking on that first one, that one is on me.

The second one for the light fixture I tried to put in the body of the text that I'm rewiring this light and my question was about how to do that because of it missing a ballast.

There have been more examples but I've deleted them because I go through and delete a bunch of stuff off my Reddit every now and then.

I’ve looked at your recent posts. They definitely don’t meet our guidelines and and that’s why they were removed.

One of your posts was asking where to buy a product. That’s not a DIY question.

The other was asking how your light fixture works. Also not a DIY question.

There was nothing in your light post that indicated that you were doing a project, what the goal of the project was, and what your question was.

If you had posted pics of the fixture, stated what you were trying to accomplish, stated what you’d found from Googling, and stated what your specific problem was, it would be an acceptable post.

Okay I guess it was assumed by me that talking about wiring a light fixture means doing a project but I'll be more specific next time.

I appreciate you taking the time to comment back to try to help me get on the right page.
