Yesterday, I answered an question in a thread that was edited by a moderator. In my answer, I suggested the OP go to another website to look at an overhead map. I wrote (NOT LINKED) that it could be found at "blank dot com". Is this a violation of the TOS?
Further detail: the website I suggested, and which was snipped, was the map section of Microsoft's recently introduced search engine, called Bing (which was big news in the tech world when it was launched publicly).
I don't see how mentioning the site violates the policy below unless there is an ABSOLUTE ZERO tolerance policy for the mere mention of other websites:
INTERCOT also does not allow promotion of other websites on our boards including advertisements, for sale / for rent posts, links or blatant promotionMy assumption is that the moderator on the board is unfamiliar with the new search engine and snipped it because s/he though it was something obscure and possibly inappropriate.
