This is blatant advertisement. It offers no helpful information. BBRV are attempting to peddle their wares here at Amigaworld.net in volation of the TOS.
By the same logic, do you think that Matthew/Amigakit should be moderated each time when he links to items available in his shop? No? Why is that? Maybe because Matthew is the "good guy" and bbrv is the "bad guy"? This is exactly not how moderation works. It works -as tomazkid already stated- by treating him just like anyone else and by applying the TOS to everybody in the same way. Ok, enough moderation-talk in the forums, better take it to PM if you feel treated wrong.
We treat them the same as anyone else, in that some leeway is given if they are seen to be providing helpfull (or not) information rather than blatant selling of products, which seemed to be the case here.
I refer you to post number 68. Where BBRV informs us that "EFIKA for Sale!" with a link to a web shop, and the fact that "MorphOS and GNU/Linux run just fine, thank you."
This seems to me to be like a Dell employee posting here telling us that a "Dell Dimension B110 is for sale" with a link to their web shop and maybe saying that "Windows XP and Linux run just fine, thank you."

It seems you missed that he was replying to someone, who asked why those are not available.
