RE: WHY WAS MY POST DELETED?
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.
