Hi Charlotte,
The existence of a thread discussing a particular product does not mean that the product is recommended. Similarly, the removal of the thread does not mean the products are not recommended.
Simply, the topics in the forum are just discussions between the various participants in the forum sharing their personal view and opinions.
The particular thread was removed because some users have used the thread to promote their business through the forum which does not conform to the "Terms of use" of the forum.
Usually, we'll try to remove the individual messages first. However, when there are too many messages and removal of these messages would disrupt the logical flow of the discussion, we'll be compelled to remove the whole thread instead.
Regards,
Chin Leng.
