Your post might be hidden or even disguised to resemble something quite different to what you originally penned.

Has Petrol Teds anti competition clause lapsed by now ?

Come on Ted lets get back to grass roots fun and build a new forum. You won't need to sell this time as you made a few quid selling Pistonheads which none of us begrudge by the way.

Pistonheads used to be fantastic fun. It's not so now

The owner of 911uk needs locking up for the amount of comments he makes to those who care to cross him!

Their site so they make the rules. You don't like it then go to another/better Porsche forum, if there is one?

I'd like to bet not many if any leave. Please say good bye so we know you have gone..

Just the usual hot air blowing...

Crimp broke their rules, he was warned? He chose to stick his finger up and got himself banned..

He may well be a loss to the site but no one to blame but himself.

I wouldn't want to be a Mod if you paid me. Would any of you moaners like to give it a go? Or are you just that moaners, power with no responsibility.

Come on put your names forward, didn't think so....or will you?

To be honest i'd do it and wouldn't be a jobs worth.
Little people with too much power.
Its called common sense. I recall Crimp having one other picture removed a couple of years back which was basically a woman's bottom in G string lent on a GT3 whats wrong with that??

I guess they must be gay.

Basically you “The Moderators” are wrong! And I’m going to explain why in some detail:-

To be honest I hate waste, time wasters, bureaucracy and politically correctness, I like efficient, straight to the point and people with a sense of humour.

So Crimp has been banned! What I ask have you actually achieved? Except P*SS a lot of people off, you have made this forum a duller place, it was already getting worse, overtaken by bullies.

Pistonheads is a Business, it makes money from people visiting the site, reading the stories, paying for car Ads and selling advertising space that we as “CUSTOMERS” click on PH gets 10pence a click or whatever way you have agreed to get money out of these companies.

We the “CUSTOMERS” keep you lot going and in jobs or hobbies, there have been a lot of changes made to Forum Structures that most people didn’t like and no one listened… or at least did anything about it.

I used to love the old PH Classifieds, just being able to click down the left hand column and expand interesting cars that were for sale, I hate the new structure, I now have mostly know what I’m looking for and so can’t just browse, it’s like going into a large department store and everything being locked in cupboards that have a label on the door and you actually now have to open every door you want to look in, go inside and then open more doors to actually see the merchandise. It doesn’t work nearly as well as the old system and personally I was disappointed with the change to the point where I no longer look at all.

On the subject of what is proper and I did actually see the image Crimpy posted and also thought it was very funny and apt at the time, but let’s clear up a few things that have been said by moderators in response to that picture and the subsequent banning.

I’m the IT Director of a successful company that’s been in business 25 years and had one of the staff come across this image whilst doing a bit of lunchtime browsing, let’s see what would have happened…. Errrrmmm absolutely NOTHING, and the reason NOTHING would have happened is because we are reasonable people, not jumped up politically correct time wasting idiots.

You only have to look at the Daily Mail Web site or any of the other daily rags online and they are full of half-naked people, do people get into trouble for looking at the Daily Mail at work from time to time….. again NO!

1. Yes It would have been a little unexpected the image though unless clicked on was tiny and would unlikely to have been seen by anyone else in particular around them and unlikely to cause offense and anyone with any common sense would have just come off the thread.

2. In terms of the opposite looking at this, are you also seriously trying to tell us that anyone women who is reading car threads doesn’t have a sense of humour?... feedback from any lovely lady members please!!

3) In terms of teens looking at that image, are you also seriously trying to tell us that any kid is going to be offended by this, I would think that any kid / teenager old enough to read PH Forums will have seen worse on their Phones, Tablet, PC, Laptop or TV. What do you think Teenagers do in their bedrooms, even with blocks and controls on, a lot of them appear to live on Snap Chat, what do you think they are sending pics of?
You only have to look at pre-watershed TV these days with Hollyoaks, there is stuff on there that I certainly don’t wan’t by kids watching and a lot of it should be post 10pm in my opinion, look at what goes off in Big Brother, truly amazing that they get away with some of what goes off there.

The bullying in that went on during the 991 GT3 threads by certain members and you know who you are and should be frankly ashamed of yourselves for your behaviour is / was frankly shocking, if someone spoke to me in real life like that I’d take their head off! You should conduct your selves with a little more dignity! I don’t seem to remember anyone being banned despite it going on for months and months, I actually found it very offensive and lowered my view of certain people on this board significantly to the point where I stopped reading the GT3 threads completely.
You only have to look at some of the language expressed by Chris Harris during some of his reviews, both written and videos, and whilst often it may be bleeped out, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out what is said or inferred, I’m pretty sure there are tens of thousands of kids and teens that watch these videos, should we ban all these articles too?

This whole debacle reminds me of the Ratners thing, where the CEO was on TV and P*ss*ed off his customers, people walk with their feet, don’t underestimate the power of the crowds and people, it may not happen overnight or even in the next week, or month but gradually there will be a slow but steady exodus from long standing members that are keen and passionate about their cars and provide valuable insight and advice to others on this forum.

“The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the Moderators” and whilst there are a vocal few on this forum I suspect as always most people whilst may not be bothered to contribute would agree that Crimpy should not have been banned and it has left a nasty taste of PH Moderators in my mouth that is simply unacceptable.

The whole point of a Moderator is to be reasonable, sensible and reflect the views of most people and exercise common sense, and I think all moderators involved in this need to take a long hard look in the mirror and decide whether or not you are up to the job and reflect the views of the people, if you cannot do this simple task then I would politely suggest that you are in the wrong job.

All you had to do is delete the image / post or put a censored over it and tell him off.... AGAIN!

JOB DONE! Happy campers.

Instead this could cost PH in the long run and maybe there is room for another PH Clone that gives people just what they want.

Because it’s not this!!!!!!

Do the moderators on the Porsche forum actually have Porsches because they behave like BMW drivers.

Pardon my ignorance but I assume they have different mods for different forums ?

I got a weeks ban for a minor discretion on another ph forum , I emailed the mod back stating IMHO they were well over the top when an email pointing out what I'd posted was too close to the line and no more similar would be tolerated would have sufficed , not even a reply.

Treat us like adults ffs.
