Do all former site supporters get black-listed or is it reserved for just a select few?

Once a sponsor pulls his ads, all marketing material is removed. They are not "blacklisted".

What about the filtering of posts to remove former site supporters' names and/or websites? I can link to plenty of manufacturers or retailers that have never supported this site, but if I try to mention a former supporter it gets edited?

What about the word filter for some sites?Once a sponsor pulls his ads, all marketing material is removed. They are not "blacklisted".

We reserve that honor to those site owners who have broken a rule in some way or another. Only a few are previous sponsors. Some have stolen content while others have spammed the site. Every reason is different but it's always a justifiable reason.

What Fluke said. We do not block "competitors" solely because they are a "competitor".
BTW - we will not discuss specific sites and/or specific infractions due to privacy reasons.

I have wondered about this as well. Since the filter always replaces the text with three stars, for the longest time i thought people were getting censored for forgetting the 'b' in bass before I figured it out, lol.
If that's the case I understand it, and I realize that whatever went down is between those individuals and Glenn. On the other hand, if there is a a reason why I shouldn't support a certain business I would like to know, especially when it is a former sponsor. To have them be a sponsor one day and 'blacklisted' the next without an explanation has the appearance of sour grapes as a result of them pulling sponsorship. In any case, I'm glad that isn't what's happening even if it might look that way from the outside.
edited to add: Glenn posted as I was typing, confirming my suspicions on why more info isn't shared with the members. I guess I'll just know who to stay away from by if I can see their name when someone types it or not.
