I fully appreciate the efforts you guys put in. And thank you for putting this thread back up. I have had numerous PM's supporting my anger at selective removal of threads and no uniformity in the decision.

However...selling a share in an aircraft/group is no different to selling an aircraft or any other object. It is still "Advertising".

Is totaly discriminating against sinlge owner operators. Many many people on here are sole owner of their aircraft and probably members that have paid some money to PPrune or at least had extensive usefull input. I am sure they will be very pleased to know that their types are not quiet so welcome here.

Selling a group share is no different to selling an aircraft or a tube of smarties. Selling is selling no matter what way you spin it.
Now I am totally happy with not being allowed to advertise/sell on PPrune, the rule just needs to be enforced 100% not selectively. After all it is only fair.
