Is mentioning Curesec banned on the forums?

[BBFunGuy]

Hi. The thread I started that mentioned Curesec has been removed. Presumably the best place to find out why is here, as the mods have not sent me a message regarding it, so presumably it has been removed by a fellow forumite? What's the beef with Curesec, buddy?

I was not promoting them. I thought it was relevant that they had made a piece of software to check if your phone was vulnerable to exploits. Crazy moderation if you ask me, is it automatic? Because it does not seem very moderate.

Your welcome to take this to PM with me if you wish, I am the Moderator Team Leader here at Android Central.

But short answer is its advertising an outside product/service that isn't listed with Google Play or Amazon. I don't make the rules & guidelines, I just monitor and see that they are followed as written by Mobile Nations (are parent company) administration.

Thanks, but my preference is for openness, and I am open to criticism. No need to spare my blushes.

While I can understand the sentiment, this is also something that is covered by the rules referenced above. Here is a copy: Community Rules & Guidelines - Mobile Nations Forums

That may be the case, but I do not have anything to PM anybody about, and nobody has sent me any PMs.
