Removed as it’s blatant advertising

I did look at it myself Paul, then decided to think about it! Art related but advertising with a link… You’ve done right by deleting it!

But, what do you mean by blatant advertising? I'm trying to launch a course and learn about the most common difficulties people face when drawing. The link was to provide in-depth information about what I intend to do and build more confidence. How else should I do it? Ask about the difficulties without a link?

The facts still remain that you were making a charge for your services! That’s were the issue lies regarding this website…and why one of our moderators removed it! Best if you refer it to the online editor… give her the facts and she will decide if it’s advertising or not. Dawn Farley , her email is… [email protected]

Absolutely not, you've misunderstood me. At no point was I charging for my services. Firstly, because there is no completed course and therefore no service to charge for; secondly, because the amounts I mentioned were to illustrate what I plan to do (compared to traditional art schools); thirdly, because my requests were aimed at learning firsthand about the difficulties people face when drawing and being able to create a quality course; fourthly, because one of the things I emphasized was that I wanted to make quality art education accessible to everyone and break down barriers, which is why I insisted that once the course was created, anyone with difficulties could access it at no cost. Explain to me, what kind of blatant advertising is it that is sensitive to economic difficulties and addresses them?

I’m not going to argue with you , I looked at your post and it had two thing that is not acceptable on the side it linked  to another account and to my mind was suggesting payment . As the site is owned and managed by a company it is for them to raised any revenues from this site . As Alan suggested email the editor and see what she decides , we will them abide by her decision , until you have discussed it with Dawn I will not enter into any further discussion or explanation of my actions .
