froglips has reported a post.

Reason:

I'd recommend taking this thread down.

His request strikes me as a bit specific in terms of asking for what I suspect is copyrighted material in Consumer Reports.

My dryer has died. Does anyone have access to Consumer Reports and would be willing to post the top electric clothes dryer models? I can't remember the categories, but I am looking for the best overall value.

Thanks
Steve

Not one of our site's best threads. I agree since it appears he has his answer we should close it down. I will handle.

IMHO handling it through a PM does not raise a copyright issue involving our site. Now if someone posts the actual report for all to see and we took no action then we might be crossing the line.

Here is the email I sent:

We have deleted your recent thread. It is done in the best interest of the NCWW site/organization and you. Consumer Reports does copyright their information and we did not want it to appear that NCWW accepts and supports unauthorized copying of copyrighted data.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Nicely dealt with :icon_thum

It lead to a great followup post about NC Live.

Thanks!
