Yes, a) Cross-posting not allowed (posting the same message over and over) b) Advertising not allowed And with your post above, c) Off-topic And anyone with a genuine recommendation would name the person or company, rather than inviting forum members to PM you so you could let them in on the secret.

Can I ask why I can't promote my wife's business in the craft and trades section? And as to why the post has been removed? We are allowed to ask people for suggestions of tradesmen etc etc but are not allowed to offer a service to local people. Can local shops post that they are having a sale? or have a new menu coming out? If so, surely that is advertising their business. Surely in this current climate we should be promoting local businesses and not making things even harder for them. I guess if anyone asks for a baby hand and foot caster locally, then I'll be allowed to repost my original message after all I'd then be answering a question as well as offering a service.
