Why is my thread been removed?

I posted a great deal this morning from amazon, 1/2 price Mary Berry Cookbook. Just wondering if someone could explain why its been removed?

Thanx

the thread contained an affiliate link. These are not allowed on MSE at all - please see this

So the grabbit gets removed rather than the right link being put up??

I would have been happy for the thread to be edited, the deal is great and should be shared with others

I will repost without affiliate link

we cannot edit posts, you would need to ask the forum team to do that.

OK, I will make sure to check before posting in future. I had just copy and pasted the link without checking.

What are you going to do about your clear agreement not]/b] to post "Why has my thread been removed" threads and similarly your agreeing not to post affiliate links in the first place?

You can't expect MSE to use other people's affiliate links instead of their own, that's how they make most of their money, as a company.
