CL owners .... this isn't a dig at youCool

The other week I linked a thread to my brother's web page, for the only reason that my brother shared the same (relatively rare) name of the opening poster ie David Bullock. My whole post was Deleted User by our resident anonymous moderator ... not just the link.

So why does one link to a personal web page get Deleted User whereas links to privately run CLs are allowed? Undecided

Perhaps it should be clarified as advertising by Companies or their products is forbidden? I had a post Deleted User simply for pointing out where there was a good deal for over night stays.

It makes little sense to me. Is it just other caravan sites info that is Deleted User?

It must have appeared as if you were pushing the sale of the painting, MM, irrespective of your motive. That's a country mile from CL publicity.

maybe if the mod had read my post before hitting the delete button ..... it was obvious I was linking to someone of the same name ..... even so, I can't see the difference, advertising is advertising

Aldi seems to get plenty of advertising on CT. I have even contributed. That must be OK as the thread has never been Deleted User.

MM

I have no idea who Deleted User your post but really this sort of question should be taken up directly with the Community Manager as I am sure you are aware that moderating decisions are not a subject for general discussion. I will therefore close this thread to further posts.

Thanks

David
