Your were advertising your products which isn't allowed and not fair to our forum sponsors who pay for the privilege and deserve to be respected for that.

Thanks

Joining in on forum discussions would have been a better start but instead you have jumped in and have expected free advertising and free graphic design... Not a great first step

Why don't you message the admin instead and politely enquire what's going on. you might get a clearer picture of how the forum works for its members and sponsors instead of simply sounding off about it!

To be fair, I really enjoyed your Sri Lankan sponsored player (Nuwan Pradeep) falling onto his stumps :)

In fairness it was article about our bat being used , having spent sometime writing it , it would have been polite for the admins to message and say that they deemed this as advertising
I admit the footer did mention our sponsorship deals , maybe that was a mistake, however we would have gladly removed said item and in fact sponsored the forum.

Instead the message was simply deleted without reason. Harsh I thought .  Its better to work with companies instead of being rude by simply deleting the post.

I think you should message the admins privately and start your relationship with the forum again.

Different problem though, you are selling with no commercial interest - plus the admins have lives outside the forum that sometimes get in the way unfortunately.

100% agree fattus that there is a life outside the forum but no replies for 6 days until i got one today from 2 of them who have very valid reasons why they havent replied.
I can understand some time difference but not 6 days

it isn't like we are paid to be admin on here.

Xpro, please read the forum rules.

fearlessfly. please have some manners and some patients. sending stroppy pm's to multiple Admin members is hardly likely to get your items approved.
