This looks more like an advertising post rather then a discussion thread (marked in red).. What is the source of these and how could this be trusted?
if this thread is advertising, is there someone who forbids you to discuss? Of course not, this is still a discussion.
The point I tried putting is not about converting a thread into discussion thread. Its about the rules which are obliged to be followed when you are a part of forum. If you still think it was wrong, I would suggest you to read Rule# 22 and 24. (link below)
