In the light of what happened to Byker, and the suspicion that there's a Trump looney on the Mod team, a similar but nowhere near as bad thing (yet) happened to me. A thick w@nker left abuse for me on an ex-work answerphone for no reason whatsoever (apart from whatever is going on between his ears).

PH has the work email address for one of the places I used to work at (they told me about the message), so I wonder what Cargurus does about personal data protection and about vetting Mods?

If there's a wrong 'un on the team and personal data is available, those are things that need to be sorted out.

Thanks beer

I wouldn’t of thought that the mods have that sort of information as it’s not necessarily for them to do their jobs.

I do think it could be a mod that sent at least one of the emails Byker was sent, as as far as I’m aware nothing was posted in the thread about Byker being banned from the thread. Also his banning from the thread was wrong as there is no mention of breaking Rule 16 results in a thread ban..

One hell of a coincidence then that my PH log-in email adress from a company that I used to work at was used to find that company, then a thick w@nker with a northern accent left an abuse abusive message for me, which is similar (but not as bad) as the treatment that Byker received. Pretty sure that Sherlock would deduce that PH is the common denominator, especially if Byker uses a work email login address, which Mods probably have access to.

Thanks buddy. That's plausible but doesn't explain why I was also targeted (being critical of Trump).

Do Mods have access to our email addresses?

Sorry, I have deleted my response as I wouldn't want my post to be taken as official PH response, it was just a personal view. I agree that it doesnt explain your situation, but I haven't looked into that.

I'd imagine it'll be promptly investigated.

Be sure to check back here in about 5 years to find the thread has been closed.

Yes I know, and apparently nobody knew that he'd been banned except for the Mods. Hence this thread.

Put in a SAR for what personal data they are holding, who (roles) has access, how is it protected etc.

Another ban for breaking rule 16, this time for posting an image of a news story from twitter
Your account has been suspended for 7 days for the following reason: Copyright breach

If you're unsure why this has happened, please refer to our rules of posting. We only allow one forum account per person, so any additional or future forum accounts you create will be banned.
Obviously I can't post the link to the offending image!


Which was followed by
Dear Byker28i,

Your account has been suspended for 7 days for the following reason: Copyright breach

If you're unsure why this has happened, please refer to our rules of posting. We only allow one forum account per person, so any additional or future forum accounts you create will be banned. Note that any further breaches will result in a permanent ban

This does not affect your ability to use the classifieds or any other part of PistonHeads.

Kind regards,

The PH Team


Followed my multiple emails and another letter to my house

Someones been creative with an anonymous emailer.

Maga45 - "Missing Ph yet. Enjoy you ban. If it's not permanent it soon will be "
then again from the same person a couple of days ago "Lets hope your ban is permanent, if not it soon will be. We'll just report everything to see what sticks. MAGA"

and a delightful one from from someone calling themselves TrumpisKing which I can't repeat on here as it'll break rules and the swear filter.

Best of all was the nicely typed threatening letter with a Leeds postmark yesterday, simply saying "we know where you live and work." plus some personal details, probably cleaned from posts on here. Threats to one of my grandchildren my dog and wife.

Police response was don't use PH.

Tried passing these onto PH but no response.
Rule 16 says content will be removed only but some over zealous moderator thinks this means a ban - as happened before, and I thought this was sorted after the last time - but obviously not anything personal anymore.

What a cesspit PH has become

The threat of a permanent ban means I won't be posting much coupled with the abusive emails

I wonder what’s the greater? The mod’s stupidity or their cowardice?

What a horrible thing to have happen, regardless of your politics. Well out of order. Would take 30 seconds for The Chief (employed) Mod to outline what personal data mods have access to.

The silence is thunderous.

I’d agree.

It’s already been acknowledged as a problem, see the rule changes a while back.

NP&E the conspiracy and far right haven.
