Ok, here's my thoughts. The title is fine. The topic is fine, it was done in a factual manner and describes the scenario upon scrutiny. This then turned into a Tank Journal/Concept bragging thread with some bickering added for flavour, which is what locked it.
A store review is fine, as long as it's factual and done in a mature fashion. Reviews of sponsor stores can be done in the sponsor's forum, good or bad, and the sponsor then deals with it as they see fit. If a sponsor simply starts deleting bad comments, we look into it and ask questions. There is no immunity for sponsors, they simply buy advertising space. This space, and the right to advertise are protected.
So if Big Al's fell down on a deal, then fine, the OP can post it. We won't allow the announcement of sales at that store, as to protect the paying advertisers.
Again, each and every thread of this type is subject to review and removal at our discretion.
