Removed Post?

Hey, I put a post on here ealier detailing another example of PDAMods false advertising and now its gone?
Looking at PDAMods site the offending item has also gone, although as usual I have retained a full snap-shot of the site as it was to add to my dossier of evidence.

So what exactly has gone on here? I mean, this is a forum for people to post comments about retailers, isn't it?

Either way, nice to see the item finally removed, it would be nice if all of the ebay auctions for the same item were also removed, or at least made slightly more honest.

Would be nice to receive an explanatory email if someones going to start deleting posts. I guess its that sponsors thing again?

no, it's not a sponsors thing. Your post did not provide any new information (it was basically a duplicate post - those get deleted). Your other posts are still there.

Nope, actually it wasn't a duplicate post.

This post detailed a product on PDAMods. My previous posts were primarily about PDAMods aliases mis-selling the same product on ebay.

I was shocked to find that they thought that they could get away with that kind a false advertising in a scenario with more regulation than ebay.

Like I said, an email would probably be in order when deleting posts, especially if your'e not going to take the time to fully digest the information before hitting delete.

As it happens PDAMods seem to have removed the offending item, possibly due to the fact that their fictional brand infringes on someone else's trademark, so there's no real harm done.

It is good to know however that duplicate posts are deleted so as to clear out the unnecessary stuff. I just wanted to drop in my two cents.
