Hi All

I offered to give advice and tips on how to make extra revenue from the internet, It seems that some people took it as being spam and had the post removed!!

I had numerous emails of interest about this and I only wanted to help people and give something back to the forum as I have been a member for a while now.

Can someone tell me why the post was removed please
John

    Could be a number of reasons - did you post a referral link ?

    It's a popular misconception that forum users can "get a post removed". They simply report it and if the moderators feel it breaches the forum terms and conditions, then it's removed.

    well all i can do is advise you to contact the moderators if you have a problem and ask them.

    you can always PM me the information if you want my opinion if it's spam or not.

    Hi John,

    I replied to you on your original thread which seems to have been removed.

    Saw nothing wrong with the original post, it contained no referral links/email/addresses, you were not advertising a commercial service and from how I read it it you were offering this as a free service to help out?

    If you are still interesting in offering this to forum members I look forward to hearing more details about it - Thanks.

    Hi Alphason

    Thanks for the reply, but unfortunatly I will now not be offering any advice and tips regarding this subject due to over zealous moderators! Its a pity as I do indeed have a lot of experience in this field.

    Cheers

    That seems a bit petty John - why offer if you then refuse to help?
