Sometimes, but not always, if you are trying to find out contact info for a contractor, business, or even just an individual who does hobby-type work once in a while, the messages are blocked because the TOTV administrators want those businesses/people to purchase advertising rather than get word-of-mouth advertising for free. And, sometimes in the past, there have been members who self-advertised during the forum discussions and refused to buy advertising. They used TOTV to make lots of money, or to set up circumstances where they could make lots of money after moving here. So, sometimes posts like those are removed. It depends on the individual business and their past relationship with TOTV, I think.
