I posted a thread about shampoo. I was very enthusiastic (because I think it's brilliant) and consequently (I presume) a member reported it as an advertisement, however I confirmed it was a genuine post and the conversation continued.
The thread was deleted by HQ.
I contacted HQ and have asked why it was removed as there was nothing in the 'guidelines' that it seemed to contravene but I have yet to receive a response.
Do HQ email you back?
I feel like a criminal 😢

Don’t worry, just repost your link on this thread and talk about your shampoo, you’re a regular poster not a business after all.

I hope the person who reported your post comes back to apologise.

But if you have a username which is similar to a hair care brand these misunderstandings may happen from time to time.

I wondered that too Maizie. But surely GNHQ should know a regular poster as most of us do.

I’m really interested in trying out your shampoo recommendation!

I think the poster who reported probably did so in good faith without really thinking (it wasn’t me) flowers

Sorry to hear that your post was deleted. Hope you get a reply from GNHQ. If I’m not mistaken, they will reply to your e-mail address.
What’s wrong with posting about a shampoo you liked? Was it the one that makes your hair look thicker?
Don’t worry too much flowers
