Why Mere Mention of a Provider is Banned?

Came upon a girl and turned to the boards for some info. The post was removed, under the explanation that the provider was banned. I can understand banning her from being a member or posting... But I'm clueless as to why she can't even be discussed?  Seems to me this is exactly what our ter is for?

Seems to me that ANY censorship of OUR discussion about THEM seems completely against the point of this site. Seems to me it should be up to us to separate wheat from chaff (for the most part).

It's like if this was YELP, and someone wrote, "I ate at XYZ restaurant and it was crappy" and then a moderator pulled that discussion because the restaurant owner asked him to?!

How sausage is made.  
How politicians are made.

The precepts are similar; anond. ;-)

GENERAL POST CONTENT GUIDELINES

1 -  If a recent thread exists about the topic at hand, post to that thread, rather than starting a new one.  

2 -  DO NOT WRITE IN ALL UPPER-CASE.

3 - Bartering-related posts are not allowed. Advertising of personal side businesses or advertisements for other businesses is strictly prohibited.

4 - Detailed reviews are not allowed.  It is okay to link to a review and comment.

>>>---> 5 - Discussion of delisted providers/agencies is not allowed (except for rip offs, ROBs, etc).

And with all due respect, it does seem an odd rule -- like many rules on TER, it makes little sense except, perhaps, from the perspective of the owners of TER.  And, yes, it may suffice logically to say, "them's the rules, take 'em or leave 'em," it does not sit well psychologically with many members.  It might be a good idea for TER to explain some of these rules -- then the guys may understand better and stop questioning.  Just a thought, Oh Guru of the Board....  RT Over & Out

Provider delisted because of fake reviews?

...was de-listed by TER or removed her reviews by her own choice. That's all we need to know; no further discussion is necessary.

We shouldn't be left in the dark not knowing why she has no presence on TER.

I believe in this case this provider was delisted by ter, not HER choice.

and that's the entire problem. you "believe" that to be the case. That's not sufficiently accurate to make plans, one way or the other.
