Policy violation with a thread I cant eve see. Impossible to understand

[Pelopinch]

I found the following message. I dont really understand your policy Erin. I've supposed to be guilty of doing something wrong and cannot even see the post you refer to because Im not allowed to view the link (Im supposed to be the author of that link) that you refer to.

Please, could you explain?

Thanks.

I apologize for the confusion, but I really don't have any other way to do this. Obviously, if the thread violates policy, it needs to be trashed, so no, you cannot see it.

The violation in question went something like this:

Original post: Could somebody tell me about official tests X, Y, and Z?

Later post: I have them. Leave your email address, and I will send them to you.

Your post:Hi, I would appreciate if you could send them to me. x y z @ whatever

First, we don't allow people to use our forum to exchange copyrighted material. We also don't allow what I call me-too email threads, i.e., long threads that consist only of people adding their email addresses because one poster along the way made an offer to email something to somebody.

Please let me know if you have any questions (or if you want me to delete any part of this thread for privacy reasons). Also, if you need to discuss anything in private, please use the contact link at the bottom of the page.
