Why is this thread now restricted?

There was a thread in the Classifieds section which has been mysteriously moved ... apparently to a restricted section which only the Lounge's bartenders and moderators can see. Here is the title of the thread, since moved:


Moved: SUPERB VINTAGE TWEED SHOOTING 3 PIECE SUIT BREEKS-42/44

When I click on the thread's title, here's what I get:


"Marc Chevalier, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation."




Why has this thread been taken away from rest of us Loungers ... or at least from me? Could the bartenders in charge of the Classified section please return this thread to us? Thanks!

I saw the message earlier today and it had a link to live eBay auction on it. My guess is that the moderators closed this topic because of said link.

Ah, that makes sense. But then, why not eliminate the thread entirely, instead of 'moving' it to an inaccessible place? A mistake, probably. Thanks for pointing this out! :)

I'm not the thread remover, but yes, that is likely the case. Live Ebay Auction. It is an interesting suit, and it'll probably return - after auction closing.

There a few links to live ebay auctions in the classifieds.
Shouldn't they all be removed?

Also, I noticed the Sticky Thread that is posted in the Observation Bar about not being allowed to post live ebay auctions is not a Sticky Thread in the classified section.

Maybe if it was there too everyone would be reminded you are not allowed to post live ebay auctions.

Hello, My apologies to all. I posted the auction for information purposes only but should have waited until the auction ended. I asked HJ to remove the post. [huh]

Marc, I sent a PM with the information to you.
