It gets kind of frustrating though when it APPEARS that some rules depend on the mod or member and are not the same for all.
Dave, I assume you are referring to the edit of your knife advert in the edged tools forum here...
http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=9057
The copy you used was exactly the same as your knife advert in "Makers Sales" on BB, minus the price tag - clearly a veiled attempt to sneak an advert in through the back door. You go on to admit it was an advert, earlier in this thread...

Sorry to be a pooper though but i didn't think blatent sales/advertising of self made items were allowed. I had one removed you see,
Firstly, no advertising is allowed on BcUK outside of the classifieds area (which you know).
Secondly, advertising anywhere is only permitted by contributing members (which you are not)
Thirdly, overt advertising by knifemakers is not allowed and you freely describe yourself as a knifemaker.
Rb's post is in the correct forum.
Rb is entitled to advertise because he is a contributing member.
Rb does not describe himself as a knifemaker.
Any one of the above three points would get your advert moderated Dave, but all three just makes it a no-brainer. If there is any of the above which you dont understand or you would like further clarification, or if you have an issue with the way I've moderated one of your posts, then please do feel free to PM me directly.
Lastly, if you get caught trying to sneak an advert under the radar, dont ruin other peoples legitimate adverts with completely unfounded accusations of unfair or biassed moderation, or to put it another way - DONT WHINE ABOUT IT!
Regards,
Martyn.
