Tripadvisor staff removed this post because it did not meet Tripadvisor's forum posting guidelines with prohibiting self-promotional advertising or solicitation.
What are forum guidelines?Tripadvisor removed your post because they interpreted it as either self-promotion or solicitation, which is one of the rules they enforce across all forums. Even if you were simply asking a question, certain wording can make it look like advertising or attempting to direct people to a business.
Tripadvisor has a clear set of forum guidelines that apply to every post. These guidelines are designed to keep forums useful, non-commercial, and focused on genuine travel advice from travellers — not businesses.
Here are the main categories of Tripadvisor’s forum posting guidelines:
In many cases, Tripadvisor removes posts when they think the question is not meant for peer-to-peer travel advice, but is instead asking for technical support, customer-service contact details, or help that should be directed to a company’s official website.
If you simply wanted to ask how travelers typically contact American Airlines, you can try posting again but avoid anything that looks like advertising or quoting customer-service numbers. Word your question in a neutral, travel-focused way, such as asking about experiences or tips from other travelers.
In short, your post was removed because Tripadvisor enforces strict anti-advertising and anti-solicitation rules. Staying within their guidelines — asking for travel advice rather than company contact details — will help ensure your future posts remain visible.
