<p>[QUOTE=&quot;funkee, post: 1815002, member: 37925&quot;]The post shouldn&#039;t have been edited in my opinion. Your forum, your rules. I guess that&#039;s not my business.</p><p><br /></p><p>My understanding is that the ban&#039;s purpose is to avoid a conflict of interest, where individuals self-promote through free forum posts instead of paying for advertising.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think it&#039;s appropriate in this case to edit it out, because the film-maker is looking to help the numismatic community and is not looking to make a buck. As a result, the only way he can promote his project is by paying cointalk.com for advertising. I don&#039;t think that&#039;s fair. This is the gray area I&#039;m referring to, where Mods could bend the rules.</p><p><br /></p><p>My beef with the Mod, is that the post directed at NOS was clearly about the film-maker. I understood it to mean that the person (film-maker) should &quot;perhaps read the rules&quot; and &quot;pay for advertising.&quot; It seemed condescending and inappropriate, even though it wasn&#039;t a direct response to the film-makers post.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m done bickering about this. It&#039;s futile at this point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
