Removing Posts For?..

[Anonymous]

I posted earlier about a cool on Xmas gifts deals online, appropriately posted in "Off-Topic"

It was removed presumably because it included a promotional code. If this forum is supposed to mirror in-person moms groups (sick kid advice, spouse and school advice, shopping, professional advice and so on) then I don't understand why it was pulled.

This is the kind of info that moms share in person. This forum is full of seething hateful, utterly unproductive waste of space that doesn't help anyone. It's full of posts by photographers and kid's entertainers clearly recommending themselves as if they are a parent. Those are not removed. Why remove something because the moderator considers it commercial, or in the way? It was a really cool deal. Almost all of us are buying presents for kids, what is wrong with sharing?

Pretty lame. I'm also suspicious of whoever runs this of being extremely biased, as he/she lets crazy comments from parents go untouched but makes a federal case out of nanny "activism" on the site. What gives? (I am a parent, not a nanny btw)

Is this the thing with the magnetic blocks? It did look pretty cool. But I gotta say that when I looked at it, my first assumption was that you or some friend/relative was the designer/seller, and you were posting here to advertise it. Maybe you should have clarified (for whatever that's worth) that you have absolutely no connection to the seller, and you're offering an unbiased opinion (assuming that's true).

I report stuff that looks like advertising or sock puppeting. If you are just a parent sharing a promo code, you may have more luck running it by Jeff in the "Website feedback" forum.

OP I certainly am a parent sharing a code. Thanks for the info.

Looked like an ad to me, too.
