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.

You presumable use the ward sharps.
Or maybe even slicing tool.
Most of these things are dumb bots.

They don't obviously use regular expressions in their code.

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

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.

Yes it is possible to have a blade guard without a riving knife. Usually suspended from an arm overhanging the saw table
