our friendly environment inducing Big Host felt it violated the requirements for a "theme" thread.

The only thing I could think of, other than the generic "It violated posting rules" is that I idendified the source which is a commercial enterprise. I shall try again.

In your Account Manager, under "More" => "My Board Posts" it should give a reason.

In additiont to posts, blatant use is "see me please" marketing posts and numerous other obvious violations. Why would we expect rhe newbies to so the "not so obvious"?

I say this in complete frustration for the "what -ever-goes-goes" version I am unhappily seeing of late!! ;(((((

i have been on many boards..this one is the absolute worst for taking down harmless threads and posts..i think MR.PRUDE runs this one..ridiculous..this board is not the liveliest around..removing stuff at random will not help its survival..they will delete this post too..only a matter of time..
