Well I am now allowed to post once again.
The reason for my ban was calling Kinky a cretin. The reason I called him a cretin was the binning of a picture put up by deepseatiger. It is an image that is still on full display on Seloc. The picture that was posted in jest shows the three vandals with a "crimestoppers" logo photoshopped across the image.

Please be in no doubt, these morons took a video of themself doing thier best to destroy an Elise, the fact that they are guilty as hell is not in doubt.

So why was it "binned"?. Apparently rule 2.1. According to Kinky, that picture was "threatening, abusive, harassing, deflamatory...." I have asked him to coment on how but so far nothing.

What went on last night on this forum is just incredible. The mods waded in with size 10 boots and did a lot of stomping, when pushed to explain why, the reasons changed rapidly. I have never been "sin binned" before, I have never disagreed with a moderator before but thier behavior was incredible and I felt they were trying to treat us like 5 year olds.

Come back TonyH, at least his moderation is fair and systematic.

This is too much about my gripe at the heavy handed activities of the mods, this is not what it is about at all.

The orignal thread should be reinstated

Too be honest - Shangani has summed it up well. There are other places to be. If the mods carry on like this than the intelligence that supports this forum will ebb away to places like Seloc.

It seems that most of the mods are the original TVR crowd and personally, I think the resent it changing from a TVR community to a "car" community.

This is a public forum and its strength lies in its members. The people who contributed to "the thread" have not been treated with any respect and I know most of them post elsware. Within minutes there is a facebook community for this and people will continue to post elsware untill all you are left with is "newbie" posts from people who cant figure out how to do a search. I will tell you the topics now. Help me buy an Elise, Aftermarket 'zorsts, I have my new "baby", HGF Help and "the elise is too slow".

Reinstate the original thread

Is a fair point though, that thread about the Peter Kay joke did get very contentious. Possibly the reason it was not monitored so closely was the fact that the Moderators were not involved or the insulted party

I'm not quite sure that is true mate.

Anyway, as most of you know haymarket is behind pistonheads now and they are a reputable company. I would do anything within my power to stop any lawsuits coming my way if I were in the boots of mods/owners of the site, you may also find that the mods are trying to stop you guys from getting yourselves into trouble too.

Whilst I dislike censorship, I think that some things are best removed to protect both you and the site.

Rule 4.1 states that PH is not legally responsible for posts from 3rd parties (us). I have nothing to hide, I have not said anything that could give rise to "proceedings". The site is more than adequately protected.

You've got my support Gooby.
Pistonheads has been changing recently.... and they need to have a good think about what's going on here... **Ive edited out the next sentence as it may have got this thread locked, although in the past i'm sure it wouldn't have done**

Pistonheads - simple question you have the evidence, at what stage in this debate did you supply it to the police, and whats the crime reference number?


All in my opinion of course, which if it's not welcome I will stick with seloc.

I hope the mods see the funny side to this! Could it be something to do with maybe one of the vandals being a member on here & thats why its all gone a bit sensitive?
