As for the first one maybe their are already good details posted before you that already have answered your question.
Same goes to the second one you are asking something that may already have an answer that you should explore. (For me the second one really just make no sense)
So if you aren't gonna be posting a techy stuffs right there you just gonna stay and watch until you will be able to create a useful one (based on their standards) because if the Mods alone is responsible for that you have to meet his standards else if users have reported your post then also make sure to meet their standards.
Edit: Note that even philip which is a good contributor the mining boards have been facing some edits or even deleted post that just means that the mods their is really up on the highest standards as possible.
Frodo does a lot of work. At times I can be annoyed when he edits or deletes me. But he does a lot,of,good work. The op has a legit question as finding new gear right now is hard to do.
