Oh for God's sake....

I make a vaguely humourous post in response to Laurenxxx69??? and her query with regard to flogging a car on finance - NOTHING like as bad as previous posters who are posting a load of unhelpful old st about caps-lock and get this moments later....

"Hi,

Your reply to the topic 'HELP!!! ' has been removed for the following reason:

Please raise the level of your contributions.

PistonHeads"

Normally I really wouldn't give a toss, but seriously, there's stuff 100x worse on this forum and sod all get said. Get a grip, mods!!! You'll be banning posts about "enjoying driving" or "having fun" or "not living in a police state" next smile

No idea what you're on about but referring to Mods as Nazi's is not the way to go about asking for an explanation.

Well that's good news looks like the email system is back up and working.

I've just checked at what was deleted, and it appears that the remark was off topic and out of context with the thread, also it wasn't really being HELPFUL to the OP at all.

As has been mentioned before we are endeavouring to raise the level a little above schoolboy humour.

A report came in and that was acted upon.

Yes there is far worse being posted on the forums but we don't have the time to read them all. Yours on this occasion was pulled. As you say Ha Ho it matters not move on.

However if you convince us that your post was relevant to the thread, then I'll try and get it reinstated if that makes helps. smile

Hi Al,

No it wasn't relevant at all, and although very fnarr-fnarr schoolboy it wasn't at least as *un*helpful and overbearing in tone as most of the other posts made to the OP.

I'm not complaining; it just seemed odd to pull that one which was a bit on the mild side in all truth.

I do however appreciate the mods actions on here with regard to general spam, garbage etc; it's also a real treat to be able to read a forum that isn't festooned with stupid animated gifs and ridiculous 20 line long .sig blocks, avatars etc

Yes there was a lot of other st being posted by the caps lock warriors all albeit OTT IMHO. Your comment on the other hand was attached to a bloody great picture, didn't exactly fade into the back ground did it. hehe

I did bin another post on the thread as well so you weren’t the only one that was pulled up.

Again time and a place for such posts, that wasn't one of em. smile
