Hi Moneytospend.

Thank you for your message. I do not recall any instance during my tenure with AGORACOM, where a post was simply deleted for pointing to a competitors website. I feel you are aware that this is neither our practice nor our wishes.

Unlike stockhouse or yahoo finance, links to these hubs are not filtered - whereas on those forums, the URL www.AGORACOM.com has long been blocked.

If a post with a link to another site such as stockhouse has been removed, and I am just speculating here due to:

A) The link was pointing to malicious or inappropriate content

B) Content other than the link within the message contradicted to our rules of use and was removed as a result of a violation.

I hope this clarifies your inquiry and eases your concerns.

Kind Regards,

Andreas Marouchos
