Need Help: Time Sensitive Matter

Hi There,

Sorry to bother you, but I am having a small issue with a mod and my view points of one of the board rules.

I posted an Ad in the Weekend Lineup for Kansas City for July 10-14th. I at the same time posted an Ad in the Weekend Lineup for Springfield/Joplin with my visiting dates in my title. (Dahlia Urban > VISITING > Springfield/Joplin > JULY 15th-JULY 17th)

A mod removed my Springfield/Joplin Ad saying that I can't post but only one ad per week no exceptions.

This is NOT true as it plainly states that I can advertise one Ad in up to 5 forums per week.

RULE:
"All Verified provider and agency usergroups may post one ad per week in up to 5 city forums. You may also utilize the "Weekend Lineup" Ad forums on Thursday through Sunday in addition to your weekly ad. This is a great way to inform members of your weekend availability. Direct questions or verification requests to kansas@eccie.net"

I sent him this verbiage to clarify that what I did was completely legit and appropriate. He sent me a message back saying that I am wrong, and would not allow me to repost my visiting ad in Springfield/Joplin because I had already used up my one Ad per week in the Kansas City forum.

When traveling it is very helpful to be able to pre-book appointments. How can I do that when I can't even put up an Ad to let people know that I will be Visiting the Springfield/Joplin area July 15th-17th?

If the rules are an Ad in up to 5 forums, then (1) Why was my AD removed in the first place, and more importantly (2) NOT allowed to be re-posted back onto the Springfield/Joplin forum?

AND--- If this were true, Why is it okay to post during the week in up to 5 forums, BUT you can't do it in the Weekend Lineup? That just doesn't even seem to make logical sense. The same rules should apply for BOTH the regular Provider Ads AND the Weekend Lineup sections.

Thank you for your help in resolving this matter.

Hun, my best advice is to run them someplace else. P411 has been a great venue for me when traveling. I understand what you are saying, but sometimes you just can't win fighting even when you are in the right. Even though it isn't posted in the weekly lineup, lately I've seen providers posting in other forums, and getting away with it.
Good luck in Springdield. I've rarely had luck with prebooking anywhere. One if the drawbacks of what we do is sit and wait. In a perfect world we would have a set schedule and they would all show, as scheduled. Try posting someplace else. BP girls have the reputation of baiting and switching, and many who advertise in there are not the most respectable, but occasionally I will use it, as it seems this area draws more from BP than anywhere else. Just SCREEN SCREEN SCREEN. This all is pain in the butt, but if there's a will there's a way.
Thank you for your reply. I did find out that was the case. Oh well, C'est La Vie lol.

I appreciate your advice as well. I am excited to visit, and am anticipating a Ton of Fun to be had along the way.

Have a great day :-D
