PH are pretty aggressive in shutting down advertising threads - I'm not sure I like the policy myself, but I guess they have their reasons.

just had an email from James....for some reason he has been blocked from posting on this thread , can a moderator or someone in the know explain why and get him reinstated , as organising a track day and tuition is not advertising is it?....if that were the case then no meets would ever take place....and you whoever you are ....are stopping an event being organised which is gaining in stature and looks like being a good un...so could you...who ever you are please advise....or do I have to start another thread?
I don't think the meet is the problem Tony. I know James didn't start the thread so it was not a blatant attempt at advertising, but once it became clear earlier in the thread that this is a tuition session for which a charge is made I guess the mods have deemed it a commercial thread.

Probably best to take it to private email and speak to James directly if people are interested in the tuition. That way it won't incur the wrath of the GMods smile

It's common on most forums now.
Haymarket own PH now and they are after all a commercial venture.

The only person who gets away with advertising is a a certain person with knobs. But that just allows us to go off topic with knob jokes
