[QUOTE="ktcardshop, post: 2844756, member: 8847"] [b]Beckett Censorship[/b] You have o watch out what you say around Beckett. I've had several posts disappear lately and the kicker was in someone else's post there was a notation warning them about keeping the language 'G' rated from an editor. So they do read the posts and delete the ones that they don't agree with. The final straw was this email that I received recently: ________________________________________________________________ Hello Ray, There are two reasons why your website URL was removed from the signature. 1) Your website has a link to [url]www.sportlots.com[/url]. That is an e-commerce site being promoted through a signature. It may not be yours per se, but it is a commercial site. 2) The link is also going to a page about trading, as you clearly reference below. Signatures and discussions cannot promote trading outside of the Beckett Trade area. We hope that helps explain why your signature was edited.
