Need admin/moderator help
Ok, this is the second time I've have to post this, so bear with me as it's getting tiring real fast.
A few days ago I joined the forum, started a topic here trying to find info on an old bicycle I had as a kid:
https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vi...s-bicycle.html
I got a few responses, replied normally, and all seemed perfectly fine. Later, I edited my original lead comment to be more clear for anyone else joining the discussion. From that point on my original lead comment in the thread, with all the info, photo of the bike, etc, vanished. The first reply to me (from user AZORCH) was now the lead comment, and any post I made to the thread had to be submitted for "Moderator Approval". So far after a couple days they have yet to show up.
Then I posted about this problem a few hours ago here:
https://www.bikeforums.net/forum-sugg...howing-up.html
Again, after posting, I edited my lead comment (due to a misspelled word) and whoosh, that lead comment vanished. However I was able to post a reply, which is now the lead comment. Like the other thread all posts I try to post within that thread go to "Moderator Approval". It seems my edits are triggering some sort of hyper sensitive spam filter on the forum or something.
I cannot send a message to any moderators because I don't yet have enough posts yet. Can someone help, contact a moderator or admin? Do moderators read this section of the forum?

Misplaced post
I put up a post in the For Sale section this afternoon, and it appeared after I'd sent it, but now it seems to have disappeared. I'm wondering if perhaps I misplaced it, and it somehow went into the ISO and For Trade area, and was taken down for that reason (given that I was selling an item for cash, not offering a trade). If that's what happened, it was an error on my part, and I'd appreciate it if it could be re-posted in the For Sale thread.
