Seems to me anyway, that simply restricting zero feedback members the use of
links in the forum, would immediately eliminate most current spam posts and deter
future ones. Haven’t been looking that close at these posts, but from what I’ve
seen, it’s presenting links they have as a common purpose or motivation. Removing
motivation is often a subtle yet effective tack in life.

Could be that it’s not all that simple, technically to implement. I don’t know,
but if doable, why not? Personally don't find the spam posts all that bothersome.
Many do though, and if there's an easy fix to tidy things up a bit...

  I'm always nervous when trying to list these. This feels much thicker than
all the other bands I've listed, its 2 mm thick so I'm not sure if it
is LEGO at all. Is it either of these or some other part?


I never list these unless they are new or came off a pre-assembled set. These
and capes.

But too bad we're not paid for posts in forum; I'd be wealthy

Yes!

Too bad more users don't post here. I think most of the userbase doesn't
know that the forum exists and I wish BL would highlight it more.

Yes, we know that inventory needs some work.

The "extra" arches are actually shown in the instructions:
http://www.peeron.com/scans/6074-1/16

Ah yes, I see them now the sun is out… and that I was told to look there


  The same alternate build is also shown on the box, bottom right corner: https://brickshelf.com/gallery/Jojo/Alternatives/alt-6074-1.jpg


Hmm, to put these arches on the ‘manor’ part, you need other small parts that
are not in the inventory: a 1x2 brick, 2x 1x1 plates and 2x (1 or 2)x3 plates….

You could do without the (1 or 2)x3 plates with the Extra 1x2 and 2x2….

And you can get one 2x3 if you can use the (1 and 2)x10 plates instead of the
(1x2)x8 ones on the walkway… but it doesn’t seem like they did that on the pic.

A head-scatcher….

Looks like an O ring to me. Is it stiff or does it stretch like a rubber band?

Not really stretchy. Any idea what item #? When I search for O ring all I get
is
 
Part No: 2815  Name: Tire Technic Wedge Belt Wheel
* 
2815 Tire Technic Wedge Belt Wheel
Parts: Wheel, Tire & Tread {Black}


which it absolutely is not.

An O ring is Not a lego part, it is a sealing ring used in many mechanical applications.
Do an internet search for O ring.

  I understand where you are coming from, but to a certain point there is no need
for going into major detail about one's life or need to share. There's
no need to say "I'm at my parents after dad passed away, my brother and
I are trying to complete a set that has sentimental value." , "it's
a gift" should suffice.

To be clear I'm not asking for anyone to share anything.

Ah ha!  On the alternate build shown on the instructions, we can see a 3rd arch
used (and we can infer a 4th one on the other side).
 
Instruction No: 6074  Name: Black Falcon's Fortress
* 
6074-1 Black Falcon's Fortress
Instructions: Castle: Black Falcons

So, according to the rules, at least these two should be Regular 🤔

And there’s already three LG plates (a 1x10, a 2x2, and a 2x10) in Regular that
are not needed for the main build and that are not visible on the alternate.
The plot thickens 🤔

Yes, we know that inventory needs some work.
