Could I please get an explanation on why my thread was locked? Even if it were a blatant threAD, haven't we heard from the admin/mods a million times that threADs are not against the rules? It wasn't an ad. I posted no pictures, services, availability, requests to come see me, contact methods, nothing. I asked for and was getting some really good advice. Yes, there were a couple of knuckleheads that nipped at me and I nipped back, but that's no reason to close a thread. No one was out of line, and I certainly don't think I was. I have no intention of posting an ad. I wanted to discuss how best to return to providing, but much much lower volume. I also wanted to say hi to some old friends. Just because "larrydumbass" (who seems to be a staunch Tara Evans supporter) wants to complain about it, isn't a reason to close my thread. I respectfully request that my thread be reopened, or someone PLEASE explain to me why Sable can post a blatant threAD about her website and it stay open (no judgment here, Sable, do your thing girl, just making a point), but my thread is closed. I can go gather many many more blatant threADs at LEAST as bad as my thread that remained open, if needed.
And before I get pointed for posting another thread, I'm pretty sure I read in the guidelines that I'm allowed to ask why any decision was made, publicly. Let me see.... Yes, here it is: "In cases where you would like to request additional clarity about a staff decision, you are free to pursue an answer in either a public forum or private means of communication. If handled publicly, post your inquiry in a respectful manner."
So, respectfully, why?
Oh, and while I'm waiting, I'd like to respectfully direct everyone's attention here: http://eccie.net/showthread.php?t=320362
Yeah, that's St. C telling me and everyone that I can post all the threADs I want. Thank you. ^_^
