I received this email a short time ago:

"Hi,

Your topic 'FastDoorslammer News!' has been removed for the following
reason:

Sorry for the deletion but the Rules of Posting clearly state that no
adverts or links to adverts are allowed in the forums.

If you do wish to place an advert on Pistonheads you may find this link
useful.

I'm a bit puzzled. The original post contained links to news about fast doorslammers on my website. I don't see how they could be construed as advertising. I clearly stated that FastDoorslammers.com is strictly noncommercial. In view of that I can't see how I would find that link to your sales department useful as I have nothing to sell.

Now I understand that I am a newcomer here but I did go to trouble of reading the rules before I made that post. I don't understand how I broke the rules.

I have posted Fast Doorslammer News on various forums around the world and they have been generally well received. If you don't want that sort of thing here that's fine and I can accept that. Barring that I feel a mistake may have been made.

Send an email to Garlick and i'm sure he'll be able to come to an agreement with you.

I'm not a mod here though, so no idea how far it will go.

Whilst it may not be an advert in the truest sense of the word you are still trying to drive our members to your website. Therefore it was considered an advert in that sense.

As Silent says e-mail Paul Garlick via his profile.
