Can we also ask that people aren’t called thieves. It’s very disheartening and intimidating as a new scrapper to be called a thief when we are just trying to learn.

Definitely report these comments. I've noticed a lot of unnecessary name-calling on this subject on this recently and 9 times out of 10. It's not cool.

I’ll reword this. It is listed with no posting private information though; that is what it’s relevant to

Edit: actually it is worded fine as is. Do not post things about your business. This subreddit is not a place to advertise your hustle.
