Support Rule Clarification for Requests

[fccabb]

I got a warning for asking someone to reup an old posted video that was gone. Which is fine, but I didn't really understand it, and I don't want to make the same mistake again.

I'm looking for a certain video, and she already has a thread is in the XXX section. The rules say to request in the discussion thread, but I've never seen requests made there and what do you do if she doesn't have a discussion thread?

You make a discussion thread if there isn't one. It sounds like you made a request in a content only thread, instead of a re-up request. You waited too long to bring this up and we can no longer check the deleted post you got warned on.

Thanks for that.

Yes, that's what happened, but it confused me because I've seen others ask for re-up in threads that didn't get deleted and I didn't understand the difference. I can screenshot the message if necessary.

What's the time limit and how would I go about getting a warning explained? Would I just reply to the message I received?

Yeah reply to the warning message to have it explained to you. A proper reup request involves quoting the dead link, otherwise it's treated as requesting content in the case of content only threads.
