Threads Being Deleted.

I posted a thread and first it was moved, then it was deleted. Not locked/closed, just deleted. No explanation, no DM, nothing. Was it somehow against the rules? I don't see how it could have been. If it was, I feel like someone would have told me directly.

Threads that break forum rules are liable to be removed without notice. If you want to buy something, post in the Want to Buy section. All this is explained in the rules. Two of your threads have been removed recently. It is not our job to explain why, it is up to you to follow the rules.

If you follow the rules there is no need for deletion.

No one goes about deleting threads for nothing, so first of all read all the rules and you will be on the right track.

Even posting this thread, you posted it in the "General Rolex Discussion Forum" when it had nothing to do with that forum.

Play by the rules, like everyone else, and you'll get along fine.

I did follow the rules. All 10 of them. My last thread was about the Magazine being discontinued, and I also mentioned that I wanted to acquire a copy of one issue. But the primary topic was "Is it or is it not being discontinued". And a moderator replied that he heard it was a possibility.

No need to get snippy, its just a simple question.

I'm more than willing to Pledge to be able to post in the Want to Buy section if I can get someone, anyone to answer what the different between a Pledge Member and Batman Pledge Member is without linking to the Sticky Post. The Sticky post that never once mentions Batman Pledge Member.

When I searched the forum for "Rolex Magazine" I found multiple OPEN threads about it in the "General Rolex Discussion Forum" so maybe you can see where one could get confused.
For example:

Rolex Magazine, Issue # 6

Rolex Magazine Issue #1.....where to find?

Rolex Magazine

Incoming! (Rolex Magazine Issue 06) - Thanks Jacobkg

Rolex Magazine Issue 6 - Submariner
And those are just a few of many.

Sorry you posted this thread in the 'Rolex General Discussion'.

This thread is what I'm talking about, its now (as a result of a moderator having to spend time putting it here) in the "Feedback/Support" forum.

Whatever, I feel like a few Moderators have gone a little too militant lately. Like moving a "What travel cases do you use for your Rolex?" to Open Discussion fro General Discussion. Have you seen many of the threads in General Discussion? If that isn't appropriate but others are, I don't know what to say.

Your travel case thread didn't originally mention Rolex, which is why it was moved, and no mods said that they heard the mag might be discontinued. I was the only mod who commented on that thread, and was taking time out during my weekend to give you advice. Not getting 'snippy'.

The simple fact is you made a thread in the General Rolex Discussion Forum and turned it into a wanted to buy thread.

It's undeniable and it isn't allowed, your argumentative attitude just compounds the problem.

This isn't a debate and the our patience is wearing thin.
