... Advertisements and solicitations of any kind are strictly prohibited unless you are a paying site sponsor. As a person who does not represent one of our site sponsors, you agree that you will not solicit our members with any type of commercial offer, or advertise your business through your posts, private messages, or signature file. This includes, but is not limited to, posting your phone or fax number(s) and posting any URLs or hyperlinks to your commercial web site(s) or email account(s). Elite Trader and its agents may remove or edit any posts, without prior notice, that contain unauthorized advertisements or solicitations. You agree that Elite Trader may, without prior notice, immediately terminate your membership upon discovery of any unauthorized advertising or solicitation.

I don't get your point.

Since I violated none of the above, your post appears meaningless.

Quote from Joe:

Rick a.k.a. Realtor,

As I have explained to you before, the thread was deleted because of the abundance of spam that ensued throughout the thread. Although you may or may not have noticed the spam, we see spamming like this every-so-often and we assess the threads on a case by case basis.

I asked for 2 basic things and was denied.

1) A description of where the glowing accounts of the signals (and the person who generates them) became spam, and 2) a response as to whether the thread deletion was a mistake or just a knee-jerk response to "supposed" spam. As part of #2, I wanted to know if ET now required me to refrain from speaking glowingly or would they acknowledge the mistake and allow discussion to continue.

(The moderator didn't refer me to you, rather it was the other way around. I wrote W.E. for an explanation.)

At this latter point I reached what appeared to be a stonewalling. W.E. later wrote me that he had been unavailable for a while and wasn't ignoring me, although his earlier reply had come quickly enough. Whether he was actually unavailable for DAYS I don't really know. I assumed a moderator of a 24x7 entity like ET would be a little more available. I told him I expected a reply within 3 days. When 4 days came and went I posted publicly here.

Finally, I feel better having had your reply in more detail, vague as it is. I think you folks were wrong in your characterization of spam, but you are certainly within your rights to act.

I told them (TI) about what happened here and they made a couple decisions about it. According to them, they will advertise here shortly and they will give me a discount on their products for (future tense) support. I have received nothing from them to date will receive nothing if I fail to make a future purchase.

All of which says nothing about the benefits your members would receive by learning about the new stuff these guys have developed.

I have a tendency to give the benefit of the doubt and to encourage people.

That's not spam.

You're right -- if there was spam, I didn't notice it.

Thank you for replying in more detail.

In both of our experiences, the mod had taken unnecessary action and didn't bother to respond to our inquiries. I respect most all individuals in these forums, what I can't tolerate is the continued lack of respect for sharing knowledge.

Yup.

Why not use your non-stop sales ability to convince Afshin to sign up (or re up) with ET as a legit sponsor!

I think you'll get your wish, misguided as it is.

Quote from Joe:
Regarding the moderator not responding to your emails; He did respond by referring you to myself and another site administrator.

Clarification

You stopped responding and I then found a moderator on my own.

This moderator referred me to Baron for advertising my real estate website. (?)

This moderator also ridiculed my assertion that I wasn't associated with TI (his omniscience would make him millions in the markets).

You have contacted me and I have spoken to you many times behind the scenes regarding this thread, and we have always come to the same conclusion about its intentions.

"We" doesn't include me.

don't hold your breath, it is not like TI never heard of ET, and why suddenly change of heart after year of sneaky ad attack.

The thread was as over the top`spam as I've ever seen. I would have deleted it after two posts.

I met Baron and Joe up here in Chicago last summer. I'm pretty good at sizing folks up. They're both REALLY good guys and and they don't whimsically put a buck or even their own self interest above content. Just look at the anti sponsor threads that pop up. If someone has real gripe about IB or Bright, they let it stand. What they won't do`is let their members be hooked by snake oil.

In what particular way?
