....I had just given my point of view, and I tried my hardest not to be inflamatory - in fact I wasn't. I may disagree with some people, but I wasn't vicious in doing it. An email to explain would be lovely. Thank you.

Pistonheads isnt a "chat Room" its forum based Motoring website, and i suspect you were excluded because you were posting drivel.

Have you actually checked your mail as i believe the moderator concerned would have sent you a mail.

As Hughesie rightly says, it's not a chat room.

You aren't excluded permanently, just temporarily.

I'd suggest there are better places for you to ask for relationship advice instead of the UK's largest car website.

Hello WR, in an effort to stamp out odd posts from new members, we can now impose a temporary ban to P&P.

It means we avoid this forum becoming a magnet for trolls and we can educate new users too.

All in an effort to keep PH a nice place to be smile

I wasn't asking for relationship advice. I was taking part in a thread on animal testing and my view's obviously went againt the grain. However, I was niether rude or threatening, and said on countless occaisions that this was my specific point of view and should be treated as such.

I agree with them, and their methods. But then I am a vegan. I honestly think that if you can sit there and watch a cat, dog or monkey go through that then you should be bought to call on it. However, I'd really not like to see an argument on it here. It's just my point of view, that's all.

Sorry. I thought I had 'No access' because of the posts on the 'Animal rights' thread. If my 'Cheating' thread was not acceptable would you please let me know what kind of topcs I can safely post about without upseting anyone. As far as I could see the 'Cheating' post couldn't be misrepresented in any way??? Thank you for your time.

If (and I'm hoping not, I'm being excluded for my 'Cheating' post then there is a very big male:female bias on here.

You're a new member, this is a motoring forum and the P&P isn't sponsored by RELATE.

Settle in and find your feet for a while before telling 1.5 million people about your relationship issues.

When you've been a member for 6 months or so you'll see what I mean. We're not a chat room, and as you described us as such shows you might not get what PH is all about.

Stick around, use the other forums for a bit and enjoy.

If someone can point out ONE post where I have been abusive to anyone then I'll stand down. If my 'Cheating' thread has gotten to anyone, I'm sorry, and next time I'll take male sensitivities more into my thoughts. I'm truely sorry if I've upset anyone.
