Donald,
If you would like to find your post again here is a direct link.

It was posted within the Highland Games forum section.

It is not that you stepped across some invisible line. None of this is invisible. It is all published and readily available.

Your first post to X Marks, without even introducing yourself, and you invite our members to an event hosted by a different commercial site. You also included embedded links to that site which goes against our published advertising policy.

I guess it all comes down to the enthusiasm of people new to the kilt world. There is no problem with enthusiasm but kilts are a not new phenomenon or recently discovered. Kilts have been around for a couple hundred years and X Marks has been around since 2004. We are the oldest continuous, largest, and most active on-line community dedicated to the kilt.

I do not go to the year-in-a-kilt blog and promote my site. I would just expect the courtesy to be extended to X Marks.

I did leave your post. It is there and visible to anyone who comes across it. All I did was remove the embedded links to a commercial site IAW our published policies and made a post with comments very similar to those I just posted above.
