4v50Gary closed a thread (How do I sell my muzzle loader) on the Black Powder forum because the OP didn't have enough posts to advertise.

I take exception to that action. The OP was not advertising his gun on the forum. He asked a question about how to sell a black powder rifle, which, in my opinion, was a perfectly legitimate question. Closing the thread prevented me from providing him with two solutions to his problem - a store in his area that trades in used bp guns, and an auction house that does quarterly gun auctions which include bp guns.

I will answer his question using a PM. However, I really think you need to reconsider whether or not the thread should have been closed.
