My post on the 2 Gs radio show seem to have been removed.
Any Reason?
Know this, I am not spamming this group, I only posted the message to the screaming eagles and Barra Brava to get DC United supporters involved. And while it was a plug for the show, I do not represent them in any way shape or form.
Your chance to get some national exposure.

I wasn't the moderator who deleted your post, but I did see it. I would suggest that the fact that the only posts you had ever made at that point were posts advertising the radio program is why it was considered spam. Now, if you had a track record of contributing to general DC United discussion and specifically Screaming Eagles or Barra (though I don't want to speak for their mods), mentioning a new show that covered the team wouldn't have been out of bounds. In this case, you appeared on the scene, promoted the hell out of a particular show and discussion boards, and contributed nothing more. I don't want to discourage your use of BigSoccer, but surely you can understand the position the moderator took when they deleted the post.

I am the mod that deleted your post. I got distracted and forgot it PM you why. To be simple, it was spam. You hit more than one board with nothing other than information to send people elsewhere. That, to me, is spam. Especially on a Supporter's Club board, which can have a little more leeway in what they allow. This was not Screaming Eagle-specific.
I hope you become a regular member of the community and wish you good luck with your show, but posts like your original one belong in general forums, not subforums like this.
