RE: WHY WAS MY POST DELETED?
From a readers perspective, posting ads in forums is irritating. I look at the forums to get information and participate in discussions with people. When I want to shop for something I go to the buy and sell section. If every person who wanted to sell something put an ad in the forums, it would be quite challenging to navigate one's way around the ads. So, put your ad where it belongs, which you had already done, and use the forums the way they were designed to be used.

I want to echo what Chuck said. In addition, I will point out that you were sent an Email, to your Email account of record, which specifies why your post was deleted. Since you posted this angry thread, I can conclude:
1. You didn't see the Email, so
2. Your account of record was bogus, or your filter settings stopped the email from reaching you. In either case, that is not the problem of the RCU admin, and it is certainly not the problem of us RCU readers.
Otherwise, good luck.

This is a forum of ideas and discussions. We do not wish to have the readers of the forums overwhelmed with advertisements but realize that posting announcements or interesting new product information is information our members want. To balance this need for information and the need to prevent spamming of ads in our forums, we will allow the following to be posted:
Any current advertiser on RC Universe may post one announcement with product information or news no more than once every 2 weeks
Any non-advertiser on RC Universe may post one announcement with product information or news no more than once every month
Commercial announcements must be made in one forum only and the forum must be applicable to the topic of the commercial announcement thread
Members may reply to these threads and vendors may follow up with answers, support or additional information.
"Build Threads" are permitted
No "sale" ads or graphical ads allowed. This is for dissemination of product announcement, market research or pertinent news strictly.
No bumping is allowed. Companies should use common sense discretion when adding information so they don't aggravate their customers
Full disclosure of company affiliation is required for these posts.
Companies may answer within ongoing threads whether providing direct answers to questions about their products & support or adding pertinent product information such as specs, photos, videos, inventory status for example.

I deleted the post because advertising is not allowed in the forums.
Want ads are also not allowed.
I would recommend that you suggest a forum for want ads and see if the senior moderators and administrators will accept that. If not, the present rule stands.
Please look under the rules link at the section for SELLING::

Sorry

Discussion forums are for "discussions".
We have a full featured classified and auction marketplace where users can sell their stuff. There is no reason at all to clutter the "discussions" with ads for users selling stuff. This would add literally thousands of sale/wanted ads in the forums for visitors/members to wade through.
Organization has its merits. Without it there is chaos.
Thank you for your feedback though although it could have been presented a bit differently.

Was going to say the same thing but he beat me to it. You want to sell something, go to the sale forums.

Marc,
Are you talking about my feedback? I am not sure where I stepped over the line at in my comments, but certainly would like to know where.
