I'm so annoyed. I rarely get on the reptile-channel tortoise forum (and every time I go on there there is an older post concerning redfoots that I always feel a litte late when answering) so I decided to help RF owners out... So I posted recommending redfoot owners to Terry's redfoot care sheets and a person, who isn't a moderator, isn't a turtle or tortoise owner, only owns one gecko (on a tort/turt forum!), wrote me back, telling me that my post was soliciting and breaking the forum rules! He's not even a moderator and is a total newbie to reptiles!
Here's the rule he posted:
"Dude, this is against the rules. RC's rules read:
4. No solicitations.
No unsolicited or unauthorized advertising. This includes promotion of items for personal financial gain, as well as promotion of an item or issue for the purpose of mass communication. Further, mass posting or ‘spamming’ the community is not allowed."
Here is what I posted:
"I'll save all you Redfoot owners a lot of time and tell you about one of the best places for redfoot care guidance:
Best Redfoot care sheets I've ever found:
http://www.redfoots.com/redfoot.htm
And the best place I've found to go for questions concerning tortoises has been tortoiseforum.org.
Hope this helps [BigGrin]"
