MSE is a consumer site rather than a site for promoting offers. I haven't visited the site for a few weeks ( busy here!) but was glad to see the EBID help thread isn't the one which got locked. I haven't checked which thread it is yet- but it sounds like a 'promotional' thread rather than a 'help' thread. It's understandable that MSE cannot allow promotions- or there would be a free for all riot!.. I would make a plea to ebidders NOT to post on MSE if their intention is to give ebid a plug, It will be counter productive and make us look desparate!
