I wonder who alerted?

I didn't see any problem with the thread; I simply didn't have anything to add or say, as yet.

I guess I better check out the lurkers and see if they're celebrating this decision...

Oh, there is one thing you can do even with a locked thread: recommend it

it could be anyone, other possibly than those with 'm' in their names somewhere

I am happy to see more people showing up and posting here, though. I have seen oldtime DUers here that I never saw in the DU2 version of the group. People that are actually participating in a positive manner instead of only lurking to disrupt invisibly...

that I think was meant to be a parody (something about cam-trills or chemical-trials, or something like that.) It was locked pretty fast, since you're not supposed to even joke about things with banned words

So, two locked/disappeared threads in a matter of weeks.

I think we should see the jury results, though. I have a feeling the "excuse" was that it was labeled as "spam", because i can't think of any other legitimate reason for locking it.

The poster bschwartz was banned. And evidently Finderskeep O.P. was hidden
because of Spam . bschwartz posted a link that was questionable so the team came in and erased all links on the thread..... at least thats what i think I understood and read over in Meta????

I don't know who alerted, but I couldn't help but wonder about the OP myself. Not because it was rude, disruptive, etc, but I think it may have violated an advertising ban. It's one thing for us to be granted the privilege of advertising our own wares in places such as the holiday marketplace. It's another thing to be using the site to advertise for a company one works for. Even though the OP was for a "freebie" it sure had the feel of a "loss leader." After all, DU pretty much relies on paid advertising.

The other thread that was shut down was about an overtly banned topic. However much you may disagree with the ban, they have a right to ban that topic. They don't want it discussed, period. We get here, at very low cost (or free) a place to hang out, discuss something totally not political, and even advertise our private offerings, such as when somebody has a book published or makes Christmas gifts for extra money. I think we owe it to the owners to respect a clearly defined rule.

Just my 2 cents.

my intent was not to advertise the company I work for. The ONLY reason I mentioned that I am affiliated with them was so that the people here who might be interested in a reading who know me, would know that I could vouch for the site being legitimate. I wasn't trying to sell anything or advertise for that matter. I just thought it was great when I found out the site was giving away the time to begin with and I wanted to let everyone here know because I thought they would enjoy it, that's all.

I was just trying to see how it might seem to the owners. But clearly I was mistaken, as Stinky has now shown us what happened.

I'm glad you can have your thread back. If they can't unlock it, please do re-start it.

Yikes, now I've just gone back and re-read your OP and wondering if I had it mixed up in my mind with the spam. Ugh, never mind....
