So you can blatantly advertise art classes by reviving a 2/3 year old thread and nothing happens. I once unintentionally mentioned what I used to do for a living in the UK and get wiped off within seconds. That was when I was a newbie and naive, thanks for the welcome. Another time asked for alternatives to dubizzle and same. But put full details of classes and that's OK is it

Hi All, Thank you for your concern- we do appreciate it! If you do notice blatant advertising you can email [email protected] but it is usually picked up by the moderators. Please be careful though as some new posters do, as a first post, write about something they have found and want to share the good news. The moderators also judge this and monitor. Imagine for a moment, if you're a new member and have been plucking up the courage to finally post something and the first response you get from people is quite negative? That's not the atmosphere any of us want on the forum. Spamming/ Flooding adverts usually happen quite quickly with say 10 posts in 5 minutes and they are picked up during the next moderation sweep and are cleared out then. Warm regards, EW Admin <em>edited by admin on 19/03/2014</em>

someone has been blatantly advertising for Wellbeing Medical Centre. All her posts since 2011 recommend practitioners in that centre. I'd like to think that they are all as excellent as she says they are, but in all likelihood, she either owns the centre or works there.
