It may have fallen under this category. Advertising a free service is still advertising.

Very loosely., maybe.

He was still doing something kind to the community, which we rarely see much of.


True, but these types of threads (offering free renders) have always been banned in the past. If it was a new user, then they may not have known, but now they do.

Well I don't believe that is allowed in the Halo Reach forum. I'm guessing that it was in the wrong forum. Better places to post that are either in the classifieds or in a private group.

Supreme mastery therefore, is not to be victorious in all your battles; supreme excellence is to be victorious without fighting.

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. "

Technically, it counts as advertising a service, which is against the rules.

I agree that it's better than a lot of what gets talked about, but still, the moderator decided that it violated the rules and locked it.

It may be been a bit of a strict interpretation of the rule from a certain point of view, but making concessions is a very tricky business.

Take picture threads in the flood. Sometimes they get locked for having no discussion value, sometimes they don't, and it looks like the mods are playing favorites or selectively enforcing the rules. I have seen incidents where the ban was unwarranted in that there was discussion in the thread, but if we let one go then others will follow and then it may actually become a problem because people will whine and complain about "but his thread didn't get locked," which would just be more trouble then it's worth.

So I think the point of all this is, the mods are trying to be consistent in their enforcing of the rules. Sometimes it looks like it wasn't warranted, but they're doing the best they can.

OP - as soon as someone does a 'free rendering' thread, others pop up begging for rendering services, which is against Bnet rules.

Thus I refute thee

I have to admit it shouldn't be locked considering it's not even advertising something outside of the website

It wasn't a contest.

He wasn't requesting donations.

Or selling anything.

He wasn't even advertising beyond him rendering clips.

I don't know, seems wrong to me.
Nor was it a discussion.

What, exactly, does that thread thread have to do with discussing the video game, Halo: Reach?

Hello community, If you have any questions or concerns then please feel free to ask, whatever it may be and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge/ability. (It may not be THE answer you're looking for but AN answer is better than NO answer.)

KEEP CALM AND PLAY XBOX
Thank you.

Doesn't matter if it's for the benefit of the community or for his own. It's still advertising. Now do us all and yourself a favor and get over it.

It's nice to know that some people are rattled about my thread being locked. I wouldn't go as far as to say outraged.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten
