Why has my post been removed????

At all?:eek: Or just in here?

How flaming silly. Foals = Breeding. End of.

I have posted photos in here, and mine is for sale! (Am I exempt because I am in North America then:confused: My location isn't immediately obvious) I've mentioned that too, and I am sure that I have put links in to pedigrees and mentioned bloodlines before now.

If I put foal/youngstock photos in PG in future I will also put up a thread + link in breeding (so if anyone is interested they don't have to search PG)

I do wish those who complain would grow a set of balls and do it face to face (publicly or by pm)rather than rat to 'teacher' like some sneaky little 7 year old.

My big wish would be that any mod button pusher was automatically named and shamed, why should they get away with this sort of thing scot free while all the time laughing behind their hands. :mad:

By the way, just been asked to tell you that you can find SN on facebook if you need her.

Just to let you all know that Jane (ER23) has also been banned for a while along with SN for the same reason which is more annoying for her as she was not in collusion with SN and only answering a post with pictures as requested which Admin have said all along is permissible.:confused:
Likewise, you can contact her on Facebook if necessary.
 
ER23 banned? For showing photos of a foal that we all enjoy seeing? And after the death of Tam? What a sensitive lot the controllers of this forum are.....

I take it Maesfen, that by "a while", you mean that she must stand in the corner and face the wall. And what of SN? Is her ban temporary, or is she simply no longer welcome?

I'm starting to wonder if I'm missing something here. I've had modest dealings with TFC, and he(?) has always seemed to be reasonable. I genuinely don't understand. Am I missing something? It can't be "JUST" about foal pics, surely.

What a farce.
I was thinking if we cant post pics of foals what can we do instead?

How about these suggestions?
There are the stallions..............ooops forgot we cant talk about them for fear of advertising.

That leaves the mares.
how long can we discuss the size of mares udders.

Hmmmm I'm thinking it could get a tad boring on here.

Someone please tell me what the purpose of the BREEDING (I think the clue is on the title) forum is? Someone has lost the plot.

Yes, they've both been banned for a while for circumnavigating T & C rules although ER was only doing what was asked (show pics of Saffy as produce by SS) which we have been told in the past by Admin, is perfectly correct as long as the stallion owner is not involved, which they weren't.
I agree with you, TFC has always been fair and pleasant although I have only crossed him once and that was not my fault as such but someone pressed the button about both SN's and my signatures at the time. Both sigs had been in place for something like a couple of months and were only brought to his notice because SOMEONE, A COWARD, HAD PRESSED THE DAMN BUTTON without having the decency to say to us that they objected to our sigs. He had to take action as it had been brought to his notice which I believe is the same case here, someone objected to pics of Saffy. Seems a very heartless thing to do especially the same week as ER lost her beloved Tam; they have no shame IMV.
 
I believe S_N had her warning for her signature revoked, after proving that the horse referred to in her signature was not actually for sale (at least not yet), but simply in need of a companion for winter, or preferably a group of youngsters to join for the winter.

Hi

Ok Just had the same thing happen to me ... I posted some pics of my 6 month old foal and have just recieved a 'warning' as I have breeched the rules apparently so i msg them back asking why and they said there is a rule that says no pictures of foals are allowed in the breeding forum except in the 'foals 2010 thread' .
Think this is ridiculous and even more so that I have been 'warned' .... completely crazy ... what is the breeding forum for mostly ...??? Looking at the foals and comparing to your own etc !!!

very annoyed !!

So is the forum being monitored or not?? The response was they did not have time & only went on notifications from users. If a warning has only just been issued then either Admin is keeping a beedy eye open or someone is playing silly bu@@ers.

I dont know what is going on really , cos feel like I've done something wrong. All my post said was ...my foal @ 6 months and how good she is and how proud I am after nearly losing her at 6 weeks. Could understand if Ppl were advertising but my foal most definately isn't for sale so think they are being a bit ridiculous... has put me off posting pictures now, which is a shame as like showing her off !!
If someone is complaining then I think they should stop being so selfish, or give valid explnations to why they are making the complaint !!

H and H have long said the forums were originally set up to ask for advice, exchange ideas etc, but there is of course another reason, it's to get at a huge number of people who may even not buy the magazine. Those adverts are reaching a huge number of potential buyers as you can't turn the damn things off can you?
I've watched the forums change over a few years and now has to be the worst time ever, with admin who is making rules willy nilly, giving out warning cards to some but not all, and quite honestly making most users unsure of what they can or can't post.
Many of us no longer visit here on a daily basis anymore but use various other forums who enjoy seeing pics of our horses and especially foals. There is also of course facebook where you can post to your heart's content.
As someone who occasionally advertises in HH and who has bought the magazine for (shhh) over 45 years you would think they would want to not alienate the likes of me, I've bought horses/tack/stables/a horsebox plus many other things all from their advertising. But right now I couldn't care less if I get banned as they are losing the spirit of the forums with such petty rules.
Just what harm is a picture of a foal going to do? If it isn't for sale, if it's by whatever stallion, does it really matter? Are we all considered such numpties that a pic of a nice foal will send us rushing out to use it's sire which might never have been advertised in H and H?
Of course admin wouldn't understand the special circumstances that would mean removing that pic would hurt you at the moment, in the old days they would have emailed you first..
This may well be my last post folks after standing up to be counted, if so, it's been nice knowing you ....

Like some other posters on here I'm a rare visitor nowadays, partly for this reason; and I so agree that previously admin would at least have had the courtesy to email a poster who they had judged to have broken a rule, rather than just arbitrarily banish them. Its annoying for anyone who has suffered this, but especially hurtful for er23 given her recent loss. It is really upsetting to think that there might be someone who is malicious enough to hit the complaint button, probably knowing the background. But at least the FTC will now be in no doubt about the strength of feeling on this one!

Of course any forum has its share of cliques/criticism, etc, but I must say that "the other place" is wonderfully free of ill will, you are able to post photos to your hearts content (well, almost!) and there is at least a genuine desire to keep the forum free of underhand behaviour like this. The current rule on HHO/their response, seems to risk encouraging anonymous "saboteurs"

I both agree and disagree with the above statement, as I genuinely feel that my hand was forced when I requested that my account on the 'other' forum be deleted.
