I do not think it was against RCnuts. They pay for their membership and follow the rules. They even refuse to post prices.

My take on it:

I'm guessing it was deleted because RC Universe is sick and tired of having to provide free advertising space for cheapskates.

Certain people (who know who they are) do not contribute to this site ONE CENT, yet use it to promote their sites shamelessly.

Pics and links to their items for sale, endless talking about their stuff for sale, etc. It gets annoying coming on here and seeing the same people acting like they are informing and all they are doing is selling their parts. New threads that do nothing but show their parts and ask us to rate them, give opinions and then ask us to buy them.

I have seen these mods deleting posts lately in the airplane, heli and boat forums I post in too. I think they are fed up and have to draw the line somewhere.

Here's a novel idea............... IF YOU OWN A WEBSTORE OR SELL R/C PRODUCTS FOR A PROFIT TRY CONTRIBUTING TO THE SITE! Even join as a low level donater or such. I bet they'd be much happier if you paid for your advertising.

I stand behind the moderators on this choice. Maybe not delete the whole thread, but they did what they felt was necessary.

I'm sure those who disagree can leave this site anytime and see if other R/C sites with HALF the traffic this site gets will let them advertise for free there. Right.

BTW how much do we pay to use this site? NOTHING. I don't pay a cent and gets boat loads of free info. I'm not gonna argue with the guys that pay the bills when I'm not a paying member. Quit your whining and get back to R/Cing. If you don't like, start paying and then you'll have a voice. Until then WE ARE ALL GUESTS HERE.
