    Hi,

    We posted a thread today in the Theatre forum and it was deleted. I received no PM, so I'm not even sure who to contact about it. We were just looking for drama teachers to hire. Not sure what rule was broken.

    Please advise.


    Edit: Ok, did a bit of digging and I think that boards thinks that we are a business. We're not. We are an amateur theatre group. All volunteers. No profits. We are legally classed as a club or society. Or is the word business used very liberally here?

    On the face of it it sounds most likely that it was considered advertising, and thus removed. Commercial business or not doesn't factor into it. PM the drama forum mods and ask them to confirm why it was removed.
