What I said was we don't know you or the charity, it was removed for discussion

We have now decided we do not wish to support you.

*shakes head and wanders off*

for anyone else though who would like to support Asociacion de Ibiza y Formentera Contra Cancer or the Macmillan Cancer Support trust and give something back to the island you all visit please use google

Whilst, of course, you could have asked first whether we would support this before making posts that could be seen as spamming.

Besides, if we allow one charity to advertise their good cause, we would be opening up the floodgates.

As you say, Google will lead people to the information.

Good luck with it.

i did - i sent you a pm

and heard nothing

and since when has promoting a charity event for an ibiza based charity on an ibiza forum been classed as spamming ?

Wasn't it the case though you posting first and then requesting it be made a "sticky" topic?

By default, any posts containing promotional material will be removed first before deciding whether they are genuine or spam.

We get hundreds of posts each day, some of which have the only intention of spamming our members.

You surely must understand, that our task is to filter these posts out :?:

PS as you edited your post as I was typing:

You be surprised of the content of some of the spam posts we get. You would have thought them to be genuine until you really look into it. This is not saying that your post would have been spam, you never gave us the opportunity to investigate but instead decide to throw abuse at us.

i posted the topic - after i posted it i p'm a mod and asked if they would make it a sticky

a day later i looked and it was still there, albiet wandering down (which i thought it would be without being a sticky), today i looked again and saw it had gone, - i checked numerous times today for pm's but saw nothing

so i started checking to see what had happened to the original post

the rest is history

i'd question whether spamming your members with links to external sites that have nothing to do with ibiza and "spamming" (your term) an ibiza forum about an ibiza charity are the same thing :)
it was 2 days and a simple google http://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=2nd+butterfly+ball+amnesia&btnG=Search

would've done it - or simply asked for more clarification

neither of which happened

do YOU understand why i've got annoyed about this ?

given the subject...

But you fail to remember that you're using our facilities to promote the event. A little bit of courtesy would have gone a long way.

We are (and certainly have been in the past) supportive of charities.

Sometimes patience is the virtue.

As I don't see any further discussion material in this, I'll lock this topic.

Feel free to discuss this further via PM if you so wish.
