Piston heads is becoming a joke
Discussion
I didn't "dob the OP in", if that's what people are suggesting. I never even saw the thread that got removed.
I asked the moderators to move his subsequent thread (this one) moaning about the removal, because it was cluttering up a forum for which it was irrelevant. The mods have done that. If anything I did the OP a favour because it's now in a much more relevant place.
I suggest the OP needs to learn a sense of proportion. This is just the internet. It really doesn't matter that much if you had a thread removed. It certainly isn't worth starting a whole new thread to whinge about it - particularly not if you post it in a forum that has nothing to do with it. Move on with your life.
Why do you want an R8 anyway?

This is a fantastic, and, free site! I appreciate almost every day!
So what if a relatively minor thread got removed?
In isolation, no effect. It is the seemingly random application of the rules by anonymous people who hide behind moderator/poster walls. Fine, but not a ethical way to treat your business assets - which posters are. They click the ads and raise revenue.So what if a relatively minor thread got removed?
We can take it or leave it, easy. From my point of view a disturbing number of the wittier, more informed and incisive members have left it.

You and I both.So what if a relatively minor thread got removed?
i posted in good faith, as I've said earlier I would like to buy from a like minded enthusiast, where better to find one?
As it's been said by Big Al himself, his decision was based on an un written rule, to my mind I hadn't broken any rules, as it's also been said and as my screen shots show these forums are full of "wanted" posts.
All I ask is that the mods apply common sense when reviewing posts, I doubt they took the time to read mine and just deleted it after reviewing the title, if it had been read the mod in question would have seen that people had the courtesy to reply, no complaints had been raised.

If any member raises a vehicle wanted thread, it will be removed by routine, nothing against you or the forum you post in it's the type of thread.i posted in good faith, as I've said earlier I would like to buy from a like minded enthusiast, where better to find one?

And for your information I did read it and that's why it was removed.
Now, if the mods are looking for places to moderate, might I respectfully ask that they look at some of the stupid / inconsiderate /off topic and childish replies made to topics where someone is looking for advice ad before long someone posts what they presumably think is funny ,but totally OT and demeaning to those who have tried to give a helpful answer. Some folks give up on the post, others suggest that the inflammatory poster ( as that's what they are)is out order, and risk some form of censure. I now take the stance of using the report button. Sorry ,mods, but if this lot can't self regulate, and since mods can't be everywhere at once, I will report, till this lot get the message.

So, have you placed a 'wanted' ad in the classifieds yet?That's what the section is there for, and is the way to buy from enthusiasts who visit PH.
I do use and indeed currently have a car for sale in the classifieds.
The objective of my post was to offer someone an easy painless sale, from my experience many owners choose the route of Px as they don't want the hassle of a private sale.
My aim was to appeal to one such seller.
