I thought there was some good info in there and didn't see it as advertising at all. The game is here to stay and any info is a good thing.
Just cause you dont want to play it doesnt mean it should be deleted.

I would think if you come to this forum to promote something that potentially takes away from this forum then asking that you do so in a professional way, such as paid advertising, is completely within reason.

i saw the thread several times but never clicked on it.
Ya'll mean to tell me i missed some drama?!
Can somebody fill a brotha in?
I felt the same way. I saw no problem with the thread. Sure he loves Chinese 8 ball and wants to see it succeed, but don't we all want to see out favorite pool games succeed? And the way he did it was to simply say I have some fairly intimate knowledge of the game, are there any questions that I could help answer for anyone. He knew that some westerners have competed in the game in the last couple of years, and he knew that quite a few westerners had been exposed to it and have watched some of the Chinese 8 ball videos because of it. It would be logical to think some of us would likely have some questions, and sure enough some did.
He was discussing pool in a thread about pool on a forum about pool and pretty much avoided any blatant advertising and on net was providing way more benefit than he was getting which he probably didn't get any. Heck he ever translated a bunch of names for Mike Page. I saw no problem with is thread or behavior.

Jerry Forsyth let him know, politely, that an ad would be appreciated if he was going to
promote a product....and promoting he was.
CJ Wiley promoted his stuff on here, he bought a gold membership, and he bought an ad.....and made some terrific posts....
....and still managed to catch steam from a bunch of AZers.
This guy should get a free roll?....their business is a bit bigger than CJ's.
Are Dragon Promotions and Vivian Villareal gold members? One hundred percent of their posts are blatant advertising. Literally 100% of them. I don't see their stuff getting removed though. And that is just two names out of many that could be pointed out.
Yet this guy comes on here and is very borderline advertising at best, is actually contributing heavily to the forums, he is answering questions and providing quality information, he is being helpful to our members, is respectful--yet his very first thread gets yanked where he is contributing. He was unfairly targeted and treated very differently for whatever the reason, possibly because he is a foreigner and it isn't "American" pool like what Charlie Williams and Vivian Villareal advertise? Maybe there is another explanation as to why he was treated so differently but I'm not seeing it it.
Agreed. That was an interesting thread with new information. Meanwhile Vivian relentlessly spammed this forum for months with no repercussions.Are Dragon Promotions and Vivian Villareal gold members?
