I've seen many posters here plug thier own sites and not get a card or thier threads removed but I recommended a poker site (not even my own) in FREE-FOR-ALL forum and my thread was removed. Was this the case of a moderator being hot-'n-horny to (ab)use his power? Would someone here be kind enough to explain the policy to me? Thanks.
We do our best to be consistent. Sometimes we aren't, and we try to learn from that and improve. The easiest explanation is that linking once to let people know about something out there is fine, linking multiple times to promote it isn't. That's a very basic way to explain it.
