On the flames going on for the Knives thread ... interesting
snippet.

This week put an add on Gumtree - selling my saw table .... next
day ... add rejected 'item not allowed' ... thought it a glitch
posted ad again ... next day same again. Spent an age waiting for
on-line 'chat' help.


Turns out adding in the description that "the saw has a blade guard
combine with riving knife" ... contains the word 'knife' that is
banned on gumtree. I explained its a correct description for the
tool .... don't care 'knife' is a banned word.

I asked how I would be able to sell a knife & fork set .... no
answer on that.

Can you actually have a blade guard *without* a riving blade? Just
say saw table with blade guard.


No issue now .. renamed it and it sold within half a day .... just
amazed how stupid this was.

Well, except that if you want to set out a fast, low cost site then it
is easiest to implement very simple rules. And no point pointing out
immediately what has tripped them because that makes it easy for the
bad guys to find a work around.

But I can see it was annoying in your particular case.

The entire city of S****horpe has been banned from many websites.

As have the counties of East & West Sussex.
