Why are sponsors allowed to delete posts critical of their posts?

BenzNinja is selling a service that provides no value. No, maybe not all of his services. However, he's advertising one on the W212 forum that provides no benefit. I did not initially question his integrity, I simply informed members that previous members who have pursued the "Agility" mode from Vediamo have been disappointed in its lack of value and have requested refunds (from other sellers).

Simply stating this information was enough to get into an argument where BenzNinja talked trash and I replied. Afterwards, all comments were deleted. When I reported via the report button, I assumed it would go to a mod. Instead, I received a reply from him:


Why would a sponsor be allowed to moderate their own posts? Are they allowed to moderate the rest of the forum? I've been a member of this site for 16 years, this guy showed up a year ago and promotes shoddy coding solutions he learns from M-H-H auto.

I believe your posts were deleted because BenzNinja deleted his entire thread. He does not have the ability to function as a moderator.

@Rock A question on this topic: On the W212 forum, BenzNinja keeps deleting the thread when it gets buried by active ones, then creating a new post so it goes to the top. It is clearly spam and should not be allowed.

Sponsor are asked to have no more than one active sales thread/forum with a one bump/day allowance. If you see abuse of the rule, please use the "Report Post" tab.

Thanks
