I had a post talking your members accessing my web site to use the private message function – it seems to have been deleted without any reason why – I would assume that a reason why should have been publicly posted – I would had done this on my web site.
It seems interesting that my post was deleted in less than 5 minutes of being posted but at present my request to tell me why has not been posted – 40 minutes now…
I really do not want to post anymore to this thread cos it looks like I am talking to myself!
Its 4.30pm and no one from this site has posted a reason why my post was deleted nor has the admin sent me an email. I really think this is poor taste as I have found this forum to be the best in Aus.
To all PI members – the deleted post was about welcoming you all to use our on line chat since this web site does not provide it as I know a lot of you use our private message system.

Or maybe it has been moved?
Hi Marc,
If I were to have a guess, I’d say the post was deleted because it was deemed to be advertising by a moderator.
Moderators do not discriminate against people, topics, or posts – if its advertising, it gets deleted.
Although your post may have not been as far ‘over the line’ as some others which we’ve seen on the forums, it sounds like it was over the line nonetheless.

As much as we may like to, the PropertyInvesting.com staff don’t monitor the forums all day. We have a whole office to run. We have moderators who volunteer to help us administer the forums, and deal with posts on a ‘deal with it as you see it’ basis.
Because we can’t be everywhere at once, if anyone comes across a post which they feel may be advertising, send an e-mail to admin at propertyinvesting dot com.
This way, you help us to keep the integrity of the forums, and ensure that the forums are a valuable information resource. We don’t want the forums to degenerate into a free classified ads forum.
