Yesterday, I made my 1st web app but I was banned for a day for posting it in this forum. I wanted people to see it, so that I can get corrections and see how to improve my work. Is that still allowed or will that get me banned from now on?

Yesh I was banned for a while for doing the same thing. Like I look at the rules of the forum and I don't seem to be breaking them when I demo my work here on Nairaland. I don't know if it was the antispam bot that banned me or if it was human.

Here are the rules:

1. Please post on topic always. Don't derail or tribalize threads.
2. Don't abuse, bully, deliberately insult/provoke, fight, or wish harm to any Nairaland member.
3. Don't advocate or encourage violent actions against any person, tribe, race, animals, or group of people.
4. Discussions of the art of love-making should be restricted to the hidden sexuality section.
5. Don't post pornographic or disgusting pictures or videos on any section of Nairaland.
6. Don't post adverts or affiliate links outside the areas where adverts are explicitly allowed.
7. Don't say or do anything that's detrimental to the security or success of Nairaland.
8. Don't post false information on Nairaland.
9. Don't use Nairaland for illegal acts, e.g fraud, piracy, and spreading malware.
10. Don't expose the identity or post pictures of any Nairaland member without his/her consent.
11. Don't create distracting posts e.g. posts in giant fonts or ALL CAPS or with silly gifs.
12. Don't insert promotional signatures into your posts. Use the signature feature.
13. Please report any post or topic that violates the rules of Nairaland.
14. Please search the forum before creating a new thread on Nairaland.
15. Don't attempt to post censored words by misspelling them.
16. Don't promote MLM schemes, HYIPS, or other questionable schemes on Nairaland.
18. Don't spam the forum by advertising in the wrong places or posting the same content many times.
19. Don't create a new account when banned for breaking a rule. If you do, make sure we don't find out.
20. Please cooperate with the moderators, super-moderators, and administrator. Treat them with respect.
21. Please spell words correctly when you post, and try to use perfect grammar and punctuation.

and none of them seem to be talking about not being able to post your work. Is that illegal now?

Yeah the antispam bot banned me as well. Matter of fact, it banned me twice. I dont know what I did which was wrong. Maybe we can get the antispam bot algorithm and rules to know what and what-not to post.

I will leave the message that I left yesterday on my next submission to the thread. I hope and pray I don't get banned.

Here is the message that I left yesterday that got me banned for a day:

This is my 1st web app ever and it is a search engine to get any type of jobs in the whole continent of Africa. Right now, I mostly concentrated on engineering/programming jobs in Nigeria. Alot of people need jobs (basically money) and this web app does a good job in letting people know where they can get money from and who to contact or how to apply.

Because I don't have money myself, I used a free web hosting service, so I'll like to apologize in the future for the popup you'll see when you first go to the site. Once I make more money, I'll move my website and files to a paid hosting service and thus people won't see the popup any longer when they go to the site. Im open to comments, corrections and criticism but please understand that I only came on Nairaland to tell you about the web app. I'll be working all day on the site and I won't have time to converse here until about tomorrow. Apart from that, have A Good Monday & A Great Day Ahead.

Here is the link ~> http://getjob.comxa.com/

Looks like they banned you again pal, because I don't see the message. Maybe someone from Nairaland can work on whats going on. Why are we getting banned for posting reasonable threads and information that can help us in the future? Are we being held down so we don't move on up in society?

A programming section where programmers cant paste code! This forum is whacked.

It's good but it can be better. Im glad they unbanned me, but the next time I build an app can I post it here, for corrections?

Imho, this Nairaland 2005 Constitution needs Ammendment.
