Can Someone point me in the Direction of Rule 9 please?
I have responded in another thread to a request for someone who was looking for accomodation in the dordogne. I inadvertently posted a response which was "commercial" in nature, and not in the classified section, so it was deleted, as i had broken "rule 9" Fair enough.
I then posted asking the requester to private message(pm) me so i would not be advertising. I could not read the pm so had to post 2 "bump" posts so that I could read the pm.
I then wanted to pm someone else who lives near me in France and find that one of my bump posts has been deleted, again due to "rule 9".
Would this person "jdr" explain why he keeps deleting my threads? I am new to france and was looking to be both helpful & supportive and receive the same.
please correct me if I am wrong.
I am fully expecting to have this post deleted for breaking some other rule, but this obssession with rules and the patronising atitude I have received is like boarding school or a golf club. Fossilized.
