Advertising not recommending?

Exactly, my point was that I'm assuming Tony's answer would be "no" thus negating any reason for the editing! 

yes, unless Tony had put, or even implied somehow that this is my boat yard and I'm going to make money on it if you use then how can it be classed as an advert?

Bizarre bit of editing, I was following Tony’s thread with interest, as we like to do activities while away, so would have been interested in knowing where Tony’s experience took place. Didn’t dare ask after I saw the editing. 

Thinking back to my Teacher Training days, one of the things drilled into me regarding dealing with groups and individuals was the need to be consistent in terms of how discipline and  order were maintained, otherwise folks get confused. Possibly a bit of an innocent mistake on this one.

I've reported this thread to Rowena in the hope that we can get clarification on exactly what is permitted in terms of advertising or, more particularly in this case, recommending.

In the meantime, I'll lock the thread as it's actually questioning the moderation.  We'll let Rowena make the decision on its future.

Thanks to all contributors.

Hi everyone,

Apologies for the delay in reply. I have been out of the office. 

Recommendations are more than welcome on the forum if there is no obvious connection with the person recommending the business. It may be that the post in question the moderator thought there was a connection. We are always happy to review so if the person drops us an email to explain they were just recommending and don't have any connection to the business we can edit if needed. 

FYI in the guidelines we state: 

Do not post anything that could be interpreted as self-publicity, including spamming and advertising (as well as pyramid selling or chain letters, selling or soliciting).

 

I hope this helps clarify and please do drop me an email communitymanager@camc.com if you would like me to review. 

Thanks for that clarification, Ro. I can confirm that I don't have any shares in $ain$bury$! 

So its ok to mention the ccc when speaking of alternative sites

So the mods can be questioned after all  ..... at least some sense has prevailed.

I don't have shares in Aldi, Fishers, or Meindl boots.
