What happened to the "Free Lights" thread?

[zcacogp]

As the title says - it seems to have disappeared. Not in my "Thread history" list, nor in the erstwhile Mr HarryRing's.

Mods ... did you <whisper>delete it</whisper>? If so, why?

Hi chaps

I have asked this company to work with us through the usual channels, so through editorial as opposed to posting themselves. If we allow that, then thousands of companies would do the same and the forums would become one big advert.

I have a copy of those that posted replies, so don't worry if you have already expressed an interest

OK, furry muff. Thanks for the explanation.

Is there some way that such feedback could be communicated, rather than the thread just disappearing and leaving a black hole? Perhaps it could disappear from the forum, but everyone who posted on it has a link in their "My Stuff", and this link could take you to a brief explanation of why the offending thread was removed?

Just a suggestion ... please ignore it if it is a naff (or very difficult!) one.

The OP can receive a message if the mod feels like leaving them one. I think it's a good courtesy - and saves the 'why was my thread deleted?'-type posts afterwards!

We normally close threads with a comment as this is more transparent to all involved, however in the case of adverts or extremely offensive content then we do have to delete the entire thread.

When this happens we do send the OP a message, but unfortunately there is no easy way for us to tell everyone who might have been interested in the thread.
