Thailand forum

I added a post to Travelfish this morning asking for some advice. I am looking to invite travellers to work with me in Koh Samui in exchange for accommodation. I won't duplicate my previous post, but in a nutshell I own several websites and I want some help with blogging.

I simply wanted to establish whether this was likely to be of interest to people, or whether I was wasting my time exploring this idea. I thought that a site I have used many times myself planning travel in South East Asia would be a logical place to do that.

The message I got was that my post was either a duplicate or spam and so had been deleted. Since I didn't post twice presumably it was classed as spam.

My question is; what is spammy about asking if volunteering for accommodation is likely to appeal to travellers in Thailand? I didn't drop any links and politely asked permission of the moderator to include my email address should anyone be interested. My post was a simple question related to travel in Koh Samui - if anything it would surely add to the forum as if volunteering for accommodation does appeal to people then they can find an opportunity to do so here on Travelfish?

I'd appreciate feedback to make sure I stay within the rules of the site in future. I don't think of myself as a spammer, and I'm keen that others don't either!

Cheers,

Tom
