I posted this question yesterday but the admins removed it, accusing me of promoting a site I don't even own- very bizarre. Did they think it was a joke and I have nothing better to do than post random questions on a forum?? Anyhow, I my LEGITIMATE QUESTION was if anyone has heard of skibop.com? There's a buzz about it and I wanted to find out more. Is there a law against mentioning a search engine my name? Are we not allowed to mention Google or Yahoo?? Where do these ANTI-FREE SPEECH FORUM NAZI/ADMINS draw the line about mentioning a site by name???

So what's your question about that site?

It appears to be new and the "directory" is not indexed. I would stay far away from it until it has some PR and history in the SERPs.

Geez, I got censored again? Ever consider working for the Chinese government? lol ... sorry if I seem too hard on you guys, but you need to relax a bit. Anyhow, Searchengineforums.com (if I'm allowed to mention it by name) is a still great site and has lots of useful info for SEO consultants like myself. I'll go easy on ya next time but your rules are still really vague.

I am calm, considering how I've been mistreated. Anyone who's ever taken even a college business course knows the golden rule: THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT. In this case, I'm the customer. I had my reputation questioned and was repeatedly insulted. I could care less about skibop; however, I'm STILL confused why my post was singled out? I've never heard of yoy-search or draze for that matter, so why weren't those posts removed? All I asked was to be treated fairly so things wouldn't escalate into a possible legal issue.

The post wasn't "singled out". The forums rules say right above the "post message" button: "As per our forum rules, please do not include any URLs (website links), signature text, spam, or self-promotions within your post. Thank You"

We remove several hundred posts per month where the poster's very first post links to a site and blatently self-promotes it. Some people post the same message multiple times; all are removed.

We remove several dozen posts where the poster asks about a site as if they weren't connected with it, but further investigation shows that they are connected with it.

We remove a few posts where the connection is even less obvious, or might not exist, but the forum rules do say "NO links" so any links in a new user's post are always nuked unless they are asking about an established and well known resource, article, or site. Your post fell into that category; the site isn't indexed so your post looks like the owner or SEO trying to promote it.

Where, exactly, did YOU find out about it?
