no, we encourage the open exchange of info. what we do not encourage or allow, is for ppl to come on and self promote. forecadd was promoting his own company --- advertising without paying -- spamming... whatever you want to call it.
bodidley's links didn't get removed... why not? because he was trying to help out and share info. forecadd was the owner of the company he was asking about -- he was specifically trying to find a way to promote his golf company while putting down the others. -- we see this stuff all the time and it's not welcome. golfholiday and golfpactravel aren't advertisers here, but if ppl from either of those sites registered so they could promote their sites -- we would remove it. (for other examples, go check out our panamacity beach spring break forums... ppl exchanging sites and info all around -- but when the spammers show up we remove them). The ppl using the site deserve better than to think they're getting unbiased info from a spammer posing as a forum user.
so, if you've got some questions to ask or if you've got some info to share we sure wish you would do it. this particular forum could use some more input. Welcome aboard!

/sorry I took so much space to try to explain this
