Thank-you. I figured that asking members what other outlets they had on the internet wasn't against the rules, or undermining what DIYnot is all about.
"""it was deleted as publishing a list of other forums has previously been viewed by admin as advertising. Once it is deleted there is no where an explanation can be left. If you contact admin and he is happy to allow the thread then feel free!"""
Surely the correct procedure would have been to delete any offending text and then add an explanation of why it had been deleted?
Then the OP could have seen what he is alleged to have done wrong and in additional it would act as a guide to others.
