Ridiculous warning
I just received a warning from <<< a modertor >>> for suggesting a VPS provider to a user who asked for suggestions at http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?p=4265919 because of the following rule
You may not use discussions to recommend, praise, or belittle other products or services, or any company; without first hand experience of those products or services. This includes companies recommending other companies. Any post not meeting a moderator's criteria will be removed without notice.

You may suggest their name with a clear mind to help that guy, but similiar suggestions can be mis-used by some guys and it should be avoided.

I am sorry but I do not understand what you are meaning.
Michael asked for suggestions and I replied to let him know about this company which provides what he asked for. Nowhere did I praise the company or said otherwise how great it might be. If providing links is already a violation of rules I suppose it will be rather quiet at WHT very soon.
Also I am asking myself where layer0's warning would be, after all he/she "praised" a product too by giving a link at http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showpo...47&postcount=60

I agree with you zoid, that was a bit overboard on the admin's part. The Big Brother is too strict on WHT I guess.

The admins on WHT are generally quite strict, but they do keep the place clean
