Sorry, I know this is not the appropriate forum to discuss this, but I can't find any "Info/Help" forum

Yesterday I opened a thread in the trackdays section to share our own on board videos during trackday events, and it was deleted in less than 24 hours.

I think it did not broke any of the forum rules, and tbh I am a bit annoyed by the fact that I did not have any previous message from the administrators to tell me why that happened, or maybe to ask me to change something before deciding to delete it.

Any suggestion why this might have happened?

Check your email (it may be in the spam folder) - you should have received a reason for the deletion.

I believe it probably violated 12.e of the Posting Rules

Thanks mate, yes it was in the spam folder and it was exactly that reason.


But.... wow... "Let's delete some content shared in the forum, which is relevant to the topic discussed in that section!! That's surely gonna make it more appealing to our users!!"



Honestly, PH...
