So, let me guess. My post about one of my local dealers offering 1125's at really low prices was due to someone thinking it was advertising for a non sponsor dealer. If this was the case, what about an email to the OP. Sheesh! I was actually questioning the price and curious if it was a real deal or promotion. | ||

Badweb had a mini blackout a few hours ago, I am not sure if its related or not. I haven't noticed any other posts lost due to it. It was probably yanked though. | ||

I usually ask first for permission for this kinda stuff. I've never had to wait more than a day for an answer whether OK to post or not OK. No post that I know of is ever such a panic that it can't wait another day for permission. The wait will not kill the value that the post might have. | ||

Slaughter, Good point, I didn't even think about asking for permission. It still doesn't change the fact an admin could have sent a pm notifying me of the delete. | ||

Sorry, I moved the post but got busy and forgot to shoot you an email. I usually do to explain why it was done. My bad. Yes, it was because it was a non-sponsor advertisement. | ||

FTB, Thanks for the clarification. No harm no foul, sorry for the trouble on my end. Micah | ||

No conflict of interest then Fat?  | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
No. It's pretty clear who is and who isn't a sponsor. The rules on posting non-sponsor advertising are also clear. Me removing advertisements for Bw sponsors would be a conflict of interest. | ||

Nothing is moved in a vacuum... Individual moderators can take unilateral actions based on the time and grief margin they have, they are always reviewed by a community of moderators. The non sponsor advertising rule is a fussy one to write a perfect statement of law around. Absent clear ways to enforce some sort of mathematically crisp standard (like profanity or pornography), it's a "community thing". So it's enforced with a "if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, we will treat it like a duck" standard. The post(not necessarily the poster or the posters intent) quacked like a duck.  (and a price without setup / delivery / closing costs, or a dealer that won't be supporting you or the brand, is about as meaningful as me saying I'll sell you my XB9SX for 80% off of my undisclosed previous asking price  ) | ||

I did find some *really* good cigars on the "unbranded generic" shelf of my local cigar shop... Thanks for reminding me... I need to go over and pick up a big pile of them before somebody else figures out those $3 cigars taste more like a $10 cigar, just minus the label. | ||

"...before somebody else figures out those $3 cigars taste more like a $10 cigar,..." Now, I have to ask, do you eat the afore-mentioned ceegars or do you just have a discerning taste for smoke? Ha Ha | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Oh, each one has a "taste". Unfortunately, the day after, your tongue "tastes" like a litter box. | ||
