Posts removed because "named and shamed"

[p1tse]

My recent post was removed becaused of apparently named and shamed

Apologies as this was not intended, but I had recieved a rude email from an online car valuation company; and wanted to get feedback from fellow PHers

I might have been wrong in overly using their services, but I was not aware of the limitations, as not in their T&Cs

Anyway the question is, why can we recommend people, places, but when I was looking for feedback from PHers based on a named company it is looked as naming and shaming?

Does this mean if we get poor service say from a car dealer we are not allowed to name the actual place?

Kind regards

p.s. doing a top work admin, as a brilliant forum

The reasons are long and complicated, but, in short, whatever you "post" on PistonHeads, Haymarket are the publishers and therefore liable to be persued by a company if they believe that the posts are damaging in any way (it's happened in the past, to the tune of quite a few ££). So, we simply don't allow anyone to name & shame on the forum, it's easier to approach it with a blanket ban.

Hope that makes sense?

As Slinky has said, Haymarket can be held liable for anything posted on PH so we err on the side of caution.

thanks for the quick reply

i was just seeking fellow PHers their opinion on the feedback i had from the valuation place, but i can understand the above


however what happens if somone recieves poor service, a simple scenario car related i.e. tyre place. so it's find to recommend a place with say good stock, service, but what happens if someone recieved not so good stock, i.e. put a wrong tyre on, got the alloys scratched, is that allowed; or is it purely positive comments only?

That's fair enough
Just a simple hard fact rule not to do it in open forum

I guess I wasn't really aware I was doing such a thing
But I take it on board
