Removing threads with no explanation?

Why did a moderator remove my thread about Flood Testing Kerdi / Hydro Ban showers?

This is a code required step.

Why pull it?

Where did it go?

Is it because of the links to the 2" Test Plugs?

why was this thread removed? Does anyone know why?

FWIW, when linking to a vendor site I always explicitly disclaim any business relationship with the vendor (easy to do, as I do not sell or install ANY physical product).

AFAIK, all the links have been allowed to remain.

I do not understand all the abbreviations?

Where did my thread go? Can I add the text or just remove the links and leave it be?

Thanks John.

People need to know that their Kerdi Shower need to be flood tested.

FWIW = for what it's worth

AFAIK = as far as I know

Whoops I had another thread deleted...

Seems you can not talk about Schulter Showers being flood tested.

That is a no no.

I need someone to ask the question it appears.

Hopefully some one does....

PM Nathan and ask him. He has always been very good about answering anything I have asked him.

While this is a DIY site.....
We prefer that people respond to questions asked
And not start random threads without a reason.....that seem more like spam
Advertising any product, if you sell it or not, is considered spam

Thank you

If someone asks me this question...

Then can I answer it?

Or is there another rule I don't know about.

Does anyone not what to know the answer for this question and can you show me in the rules I accepted that I can't start a new thread if no one asks a questions.

I know I will ask the question and nothing else...

When you ask the question yourself...and you know the answer
Then proceed to answer the question...or not
That just seems like spam...or a waste of peoples time
I've seen posts on other boards where you do the same thing
...and people complain

Yes Dave but it's working.

John Bridge's site has never seen so much chatter on Flood Testing Kerdi Showers.

This will help so many people protect there investment.

You are put in a position of power here able to remove my words art will.

Why do you do that. Surely you have learned by now that I'm trying to make this process better and save our landfills from dodgy work.

What are you trying to do? Reach 20,000 posts...

Tom Struble · 09-12-2010, 03:19 PM

hey that's not fair you owe Dave an apology,your ''i'm going save the world'' schtick is getting pretty tiring

Scuba_Dave · 09-12-2010, 03:26 PM

Take a few days off to think about it John

Is this the same John Bridges site where you inquired on expertlaw.com if you could sue someone for libel for posting a quote of yours from another site ?
Regarding the Garden web forum ?
Which site were you banned from ?
