I don't know why it was removed, but on most forums posting a new thread, asking why another thread was removed, is considered a bad idea. Responses generally range from removal of the new thread all the way through banning the poster.

Default why was thread / post removed

hi

the thread / post was removed for two reasons -

a) we dont allow posts of other sites promotions ... whether they are bonuses or in this case promotions linked to signing up via their links etc

Forum Rules - Message Boards

b) I particularly dont like sites (like the one mentioned) that have referal schemes which results in alot of their "members" spamming forums with their info etc - because they dont read its against their rules of referring and against forums rules like ours

we have had numerous posts from this site - so it was lucky I didnt just delete the account as well ;-)

so the combination of both the above and it being one of your first posts - it got deleted

also the offer depends on signing up to a poker room via there links - there is very little in life that is really as free as it would seem ... its esentially just a different hook for getting signups (nothing wrong with that) ...

but 4kingpoker is not here to give free advertising to other sites offers ... If we posted our offers on their site / forum I can guaranteed the account and the posts would be removed in double quick time

cheers admin

Default deleted posts ?

hi

not sure about the deleted posts - 40 seems alot to have lost (and not just got banned) or I would have PM'd you to let you know there was a solvable issue with you posts ... PM me if you like to have a chat ... what where they about ?

no worries on the recently deleted post - it's no biggy ... players are players and that's cool

but all sites are definately all businesses

I try not to do too much of the hard sell in the forums on our bonuses etc
(and I dont encourage anyone to post our offers on other sites etc)

but the reality is every single site you will ever see on the internet about poker is a business one way or another ... and so effectively competition (mostly in a friendly enough way but competiting businesses none the less) all site have to spend money on advertising etc - and links etc to other sites bonuses offers etc arent allowed at pretty much all sites ...

just to clarify as I dont want members to think they cant post links to useful strategy etc on other sites ... this is fine ... if the page has no sales agenda etc and is genuinely interesting then that is fine and encouraged if it will help members

however that isnt an invitation to all the lurking webmasters to post up links to their sites pages (as most that have in the past are just linking to very poor articles / poor sites / new sites - which dont offer the members anything that isnt here already ... and is just being done in an attempt to get the site some free traffic)

cheers scrawnybob
