How is this a breech of Rule 6?

Starting a thread specifically to advertise your classified listing or business is not allowed. Other items for sale can only be posted in the respective Marketplace forum and you must not share links to your items for sale outside of this forum.

trumps basing his policies on what he sees on Fox news again

trump told reporters that he might send national guard troops into Portland, Oregon, apparently because he was misled about the scale of small protests there by a TV report on Fox News that incorrectly presented video recorded in 2020 as having taken place this summer.

What Fox News lying to its viewers again! Who would have thought - oh no wait...

Sorry? I don't understand this. No advertising, no copy and paste (so can't claim rule 16 and it's been 5 years now of the lawyers 'looking' at it)
It's a summary and a link to a Guardian story

[Byker28i]

No answer then?

Punishment for posting about Trump. Stick to pedal powered. Much nicer.

I'm not selling anything either

I don't think my comments about lyrca clad roadhogs would go down well Having said that, I'm often in Antwerp on pedal power, but with battery assist

I've had a look at this for you - the moderator didn't select the correct moderation option when taking action. There is no further context, but I would say it looks like this is speculation, potentially defamatory or libellous, which is why it was removed.

It’s good of you to reply Ben, but in all honesty, pretty much all of NP&E consists of ‘speculation, potentially defamatory or libellous’.

[vaud]

If you want to remove potentially libellous comments then PH should just dump NP&E.

But it's not speculation at all.

But ok, you're playground. Weird though, considering how many speculation, potentially defamatory or libellous things are said about me. I'll start reporting them then

Byker, I think you are replying to the wrong person - I’m not a mod, and my comment was semi-flippant.

This is the second time I've had a post deleted that had nothing to do with what rule it was suposed the break.

How does my post of " In Tesco this eve there were 3 seperate women in coats/hoody's and pajama bottoms"
Break point 6 or 22?

[Rusty Old-Banger]

It's a crime against spelling and grammar, if nothing else

[Super Sonic]

Advertising Tesco's?

So I needed to put 'Supermarket' instead?

There's literally a whole thread called. 'I've just had lunch in Wetherspoons'

Makes no sense whatsoever.

Absolutely and seems to be a common denominator with Bykers thread deletion :
