Thread removed

Hi Chaps,

I just got an email saying that a thread I started earlier today has been removed -

Hi,

Your topic 'Illegal UK data transfer to the USA' has been removed for the following reason:

Thread deleted for breaching the rules and regulations of the site:

4. Do not post or link for the purposes of advertising or personal gain.

Obviously, I understand the rules when it comes to spamming the forums with advertising, it's annoying and thankfully PH is not full of single posts from russianbrides.xx (that's not an advert by the way), but the above thread was in the business forums, it's an alert of an exceedingly important European Ruling for all UK businesses and me, as a PHer, offering free advice on how my PH buddies can stop breaking the law, either with me or any other provider in the UK/Europe.

It's a particularly legitimate offer of help and advice from one PHer to the community on something that is highly relevant to the business forum.

The link to the site was only given when another PHer said he was in bother with a specific API issue.

I' ask that the decision to remove the post is looked at again and if necessary my posting history reviewed as I do not spam ph with my company activities.

If necessary perhaps remove the links in my second post with a mod note to advertising, but the thread is important and really should be reinstated.

Thanks for listening.

I would suggest you email directly here.
