What's going on?

Yesterday, there was a posting from some Chinese outfit with a name rather similar in construction to Juicybike. I remarked on that similarity.

Today, there was another Chinese firm posting for the first time and I had a quick gander at their website. When I attempted to post about the lack of prices on the website, a message appeared telling me I had insufficient privileges or something of that nature. Suddenly, the Chinese firm's posting disappeared and I now can't find any trace of the one I saw yesterday.

Is the webmaster or one of those with admin privileges using a bit of censorship for reasons I don't understand? I don't mind; I just find it a bit curious.

Have you tried your browser back button, or history? Perhaps you can re-visit that posting.
I've come across JustEBike before, but never looked into them.

Exactly that. If a commercial enterprise wishes to use the site to generate leads/sales then they will need to sign up to one of our advertising packages.

Unfortunately, though not that it matters, my history is cleared every time I close down my machine.

For the avoidance of any confusion Bob, the firm who appeared briefly yesterday was definitely not JustEBikes as I have seen their website. The one from yesterday definitely had a "j" & "c" with some other characters before "bike" or "bikes". At first glance, it could easily have been mistaken for your company name and that was the essence of my remark when I realised that it wasn't JuicyBike". Given the prompt action by the administrator, it's unlikely that we shall see the poster again, I would guess.

I did glance at it and from memory the "member" was jlcbikes I think. It was clearly spam advertising, most of this intercepted by the enrollment system, but the odd one like this that sneaks through is quickly seen by administrators Russ or Richard and dealt with.
