New Here...

Whoa. I was simply saying "I'm new here. This is the site behind the name." I wasn't advertising, just simply explaining myself and purpose of being here. If you don't allow that, then you are trying too hard to regulate your site. That turns people off.

From my experience with forums, that's not the way to welcome new people.
 
It makes managing posts easier when we stick to the rules for everyone, no matter the intention. You are still welcome and we are still happy to have you.
 
Ever considered thinking that new folks might not know the rules yet?

I would suggest leaving the post(especially not removing the entire thing), and send a friendly suggestion over PM.

My intent by removing your post was not to offend you or make you feel unwelcome. It is my duty as a moderator of this forum to ensure that the rules are enforced. Please do not take my removing your post as offensive.
 
Exactly my point.

This forum does not care enough about its members. If that's the response you give to newcomers, I do not know how you will ever expect to grow.

Good luck with that.
