I can't speak for the reasons that it got moved, but the original one that I came upon I deleted... for the following reason....

It was reported... and I looked into it.

I saw a for sale thread posted in an area that wasn't a for sale area and it was posted by a member, not a vendor... you...

If I remember, there were comments about other vendors prices being higher... and that Chevy Mall was cheaper...

There are two issues with this.... And I am speaking in generalities with this explanation... I am not saying you did or are doing any of this... I am only explaining why I deleted the first thread that was reported that I saw....

1.) cutting the throat of our supporting vendors... there are multiple reasons I can see this happening...

You truly found a great deal and want to share it with other members...

Someone is pissed about some dealings with a vendor of a product so they go out of their way to cut the vendors throat...

Someone never stopped to think how it affects the people and sponsorship that keeps this site improving...

2.) Advertising for a non supporting vendor... I've heard of issues with people getting deals with outside vendors and for that they agree to post up information within sites like this... It amounts to free advertising, or redirected advertising fees...

If you made a "widget" and paid to advertise it at a fair price and provide great customer support and service during and after the sale as opposed to advertising something and not supporting it after the CC information is exchanged...and someone was trying to undercut you, how would you respond to that...??? Just curious.

Again... I am not accusing you of any of this, I am only explaining why I deleted the original posting I looked into...

May I ask why you are so adamant about this thread being posted that you have made multiple threads about it...and multiple threads about it being moved or deleted or moderated or whatever is occurring in each case...Call me curious...

Edit: As for the one in the coupon thread.... I probably owe you an apology for that one... It was the second one reported and I probably didn't take the time to note where it was located, and just deleted it like I did the first reported one... For that, I do apologize, and I hope the above explanations help... I would also like to point out that apparently Camaro_Corvette has taken the fall for this. I have been offline a lot the last few days spending many hours at my builders shop working hard to get my car finished and back on the road... I haven't been on here much...and I come back to see where I've apparently thrown him under the bus... Camaro_Corvette had nothing to do with the original two posts being deleted...

Please direct any further queries to me via Pm or I'll respond to questions here.
