Advertising on the Forum

[David Bailey]

Moved to a separate thread - DavidJames

However as soon as someone mentions where they can learn west coast swing it is taken of the forum. Then we are told it is advertising.

OK, firstly, any advertising is banned - WCS, AT, Latin, and MJ - you name it, advertising is not allowed. Those are the forum rules, and I think they're fairly clear. Feel free to suggest changes to Franck, but it's his gaff, and he's entitled to define what rules he thinks are appropriate. And "advertising" means just that - promoting an event to which you have some commercial link. That's all. You're at perfect liberty to discuss or promote any event to which you have no commercial connection. For example, I created a thread about "Tango Al Fresco".

Secondly, moderators don't swoop down on any mention of any non-Ceroc event made by any person, and immediately remove it and infract the person involved. Look at the 2,455 threads about Southport weekenders, for example.

The majority of dance discussion on this forum is about MJ, yes - but, well, it is a Ceroc(Scotland) forum, it's gotta have some vague connection to MJ as a raison d'etre...
