TOJoe, you just don't get it.
At the time that I deleted all but one of your posts, EVERY SINGLE ONE of your posts was a promotion of your youtube channel. That's not participating in a public forum, that's spamming.
A check of 405hp's post history reveals that (A) this is the only post linking to that particular video, and (B) not all of that member's posts are links to youtube.
I don't mind people linking to youtube videos. There's nothing wrong with it ... until it becomes spamming.
Simple things:
By all means post links to your own youtube videos. ONCE. And as part of relevant discussion.
You will cease and desist complaining about how this forum is administered.
