I've logged on today after not really getting on properly over the weekend to find that my thread in picture gallery has been removed by TFC because it was apparently advertising.

I didn't think it was, I wasn't trying to sell anything, on the contrary I was offering members the opportunity to get a free picture.....

Anyway it has gone now, but I just wanted to say sorry to anyone who is now wondering where their photos have gone!

I had already PM'd a couple of people who had posted photos, and if anyone else wants to PM me they are welcome to do so, Mark will still honour the offer. Alternatively he has a facebook fan page and you can contact us that way.

That is a shame :(, I thought it was a lovely offer.

Seemed like a win, win for everybody.

That was what I thought. I considered it quite carefully before I posted anything so that I didn't get into any trouble or mislead anyone...... thought it was a nice opportunity for people to get a picture that might not be able to afford to commission and an opportunity for Mark to get some source material that he wouldn't normally get. As we don't have our own animals source material is always tough for him to find when he isn't doing commissions.

I just think it is a real shame the thread has gone there were some gorgeous photos!

Hope you found his facebook page Papafrita!
 
Well if it's any consultation I didn't think you were purposely advertising, when I read your thread, besides if you were doing that, you'd of done it long time ago :rolleyes:, you were just offering folks the chance to have a great picture done free and people could admire everyone elses photos of their horses at the same time.

People can't even be nice these days without it being taken for an ulterier motive :rolleyes
 
Thanks Kenzo, just feel really fed up that someone felt the need to report the thread and get it removed. If someone was that upset by it I would have happily edited it!

So I've got my first infraction now :(
 
I absolutely didn't think it was advertsising, and as a fellow artist I get really pissed off when people get free advertising on these forums so I'm as sensitive to this as anyone. And there were some really lovely photos as well.
 
Don't think I'd better post it here. But if you search his name and filter for pages (rather than people) you should find it.

The picture shows him working at his drawing board.

Really enjoyed looking at your albums OEH! Some lovely pictures in there. :D

You've made him very jealous though, he adores spanish horses and would love to own one eventually. Couldn't drag him away from the pictures of Lisco!
 
i sympathise. i got a thread removed once for 'advertising'... when i said i was thinking of loaning raff out.


it REALLY upset me that someone 'pressed the button' on me... and i mean REALLY. so... mega sympathies, and i hope whoever pressed your button gets their foot stuck in the mud this evening. losing a welly and putting a non-wellied foot straight back into the mud. ha! :D

i've used a couple of your photos, OEH on my website... don't know if you saw the thread? if you want to see, go to my website and click on 'vouchers'... two lunging pics are on that page. i think there is another one on another page too.

(sorry for hijacking)
