I POSTED something and it GONE!

[Mike Ben]

For some reason, my thread is GONE! It was originally moved here and now I can't find it.

Is this forum against helping other photographers?

What I posted was nothing illegal. If you removed it, have the courtesy to at least let me know.

Might as well remove my membership if this forum is such that I can't freely ask other photographers for some back-scrathching.

Hmm...odd! Things don't usually get deleted without good cause, but before you jump the gun try sending a pm to one of the moderators to ask why. There may be an innocent reason as to why it has gone.

What was your thread about?

prob because your said the "f" word in it lol....

[Pete]

Threads get deleted when they contravene one (or more) of the rules outlined in

-=RULES=-
(http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?p=353304)

So if your thread's gone, the reason's in there.

Ah, that would do it!

So I read the rules, so which applies to my thread being deleted. I'm merely asking for other photographers for a linking exchange. Solicitation is the only one that I see that may apply depending on who is readingit but is that such a bad thing to help one another. After all this is a photography forum.

Mike - the post was similar to this at Fredmiranda wedding forum: http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/820456/0

ARE WE NOT ALLOWED TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT????

Dpreview, FM (some other folk at DWF with multiple thread of the same thing) - I wonder why they don't delete my thread there? Perhaps, they don't interpret what I'm doing as solicitation.


Can I get an answer why it was deleted?

RULE:
Chain letters, pyramid schemes, "spam", multi-level marketing, blatant cross-posting or other solicitations are strictly prohibited.
