Thread removed?

I posted a link to my Alpina review and it was removed.
Did I break a rule?
Just seemed a bit harsh!

Yes its one of the posting rules, you can read them all by clicking the link at the bottom of the page. Its self promotion which they don't allow.

I actually read the T&C's and couldn't see anything about posting a link to a video.
The link doesn't ask you to spend money, download anything etc.

So that's why I asked, unless I have overlooked something?

In fact there is no 12e

Anyway no worries.

Its not on the Terms & Conditions, its under posting rules (confusing I know). Have a look at the bottom of the page there is a link to all of them, might be helpful in the future.

I just had one removed with the reason being, 'there is a main thread running' Whatever that means as I haven't seen it. I called mine 'knob of the day'. hey-ho.

Just for clarity, the rules of posting have a link at the bottom of most pages.

Don't confuse the Sites T&C's with the rules of posting.
