Is there no way to just delete the posts within the thread with the spammy links as opposed to removing the whole thing?

not if the spammy links are in the first post, whole topic is the only option then.

Cider unfortuately tastes like my own vomit did at age 15 - which was 80% cider - so I cant do it. Ruined it for myself.

I had that for a while because of drinking white lightning at a similar age 🤮

it was reported for its spammy links, and was treated as spam, except your account survived, when it rea,ly shouldn't have done for consistency.

i've restored the topic as hidden.

Can you help me out here on what's spammy?  These were intended as relevant links to the topic in hand - cider to take to Glastonbury.  To commercial sites sure, but made in good faith as on-topic. I hope I've build up enough goodwill over the last 13 years and particularly this year that I only want the best for this site and this community. 

Is there any guidance you can provide to ensure I don't violate any other rules?  Is there anything I can do to make the thread compliant?  There's quite a lot of work over many years gone into that thread to help other festival goers and users of the site to make good decisions about their cider purchases at Glastonbury, it's not like I'm using affiliate codes or anything like that.

you got it!!!!

Who the hell is reporting this stuff. FFS I actually dispair at that thread being deleted.

Is that the rule then - no more links to sites that sell stuff?  If that's the rule, then fine.  Just need to know.  That would cover quite a lot of posts over the last few years, but ok.

Delete all threads with seetickets links for a kick off

Stu. I guess you are being targeted by someone for your support of the site yesterday. Beggars belief at the lengths these bastards will go to.

yeah, sometimes links are appropriate, and sometimes they can be overdone. like when someone was recently linking to a particular site in most of their posts.

So, do you think I was being spammy? I mean you know I'm not in league with big cider trying to make a profit, right? Just trying to add valuable content for the users of the site.

[Earth_pig]

Oh please if someone has a delicious cider a link to get it would be much appreciated.

the links were a big part of that opening post, in true spammer style.

It tastes like a mixture of Linden Village Cider and sweet and sour chicken balls. 

And vomit.

Do you know/trust the person reporting Stu’s posts? Can’t you just dismiss their reports if you don’t think they’re genuine?

Any chance of getting the cider thread back if the report was malicious?

That buggers up a lot of threads that have been useful and saved people money in the past.

Camping bargains, vinyl bargains, ticket sales...

I get the point with people pointing to a site that will make themselves money but if it's something that is genuinely to help other people and of no benefit to the poster, I can't see the problem.

[lazyred]

There's surely a difference between someone constantly plugging their own sites and threads like cider, camping essentials etc which have useful info?

Aye, it's often us members asking for links about where to buy stuff or pointing other people to it. 

Some of the most useful posts I've seen here in twenty years were links to see tickets urls that helped me secure tickets.
