Post Edited and Closed Because I asked a Question About Unauthorized Vinyl?

Wasn't like I was promoting anything, had a general question since I'm a new collector.  Yet the post gets closed by Cat and the link to an example removed, with another link to the forum guidelines (which I don't feel I violated).  I really don't get it. 

I buy official merch to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars over the years and one stupid question gets me scolded.  So dumb.

    Yeah, its not a topic that is to be discussed on the boards. Doesn't matter where you lie on the issue. Just mentioning it will get it closed.

    i knew that unoffical boots were frowned upon from past searches, which made this retweet werid to me. since you know they released this as an offical boot a few years back.

    This is a standard reaction from the mods when it comes to illegally bootlegged PJ vinyl, especially if you posted a link to some of it, so don't take it personally. It doesn't matter what your attitude is about it. A link to the fake merch is an advertisement in and of itself. So is a conversation about it, really. It draws attention to the availability of the items.

    Also, IBTL. ;)

    You posted a link to ebay.
    You were asking about the quality of illegal bootlegs and advice so you could complete your collection.

    If you have any further questions please feel free to send a private message.

    Thank you
