Default why were my posts deleted ?

So I got about a half dozen PM's or so saying I'm violated non-sponsor policy and I'm now a restricted user..

I'd take this up via PM with the mod's, but that function has been removed from me.

The posts in question were my build log posts in the stereo forum, a classified ad where I had listed 1 used amplifier, some used distribution blocks, and a 5 sets of old fiberglass tweeter pods I had laying around. And also two posts where I responded via PM to guys asking for 12" fiberglass stealth boxes, a product , to my knowledge, no sponsor currently offers. I'm not a vendor or manufacturer, I'm an IT project manager by trade, who happens to have a big car audio hobby, and once in a while I'll make a sub box or something for someone to help them out.

Even excluding my PM's for the sub boxes, which I agree could be questionable, why delete my build process threads ? Nothing in those threads solicited any business or detailed any potential products for sale. It's just me sharing various things I've done with my car with the community.

Exclamation

Vendors offering the service or not you know that you must be paying sponsor to offer services or sell mass products, you even mentioned this in one of your threads.

Your account status will stay this way unless you sign up to be a sponsor. You can still continue to post threads or replies but not to solicit any business, and PM's are not allowed for your account.
