The no name and shame policy, perhaps?

Mind you, if threads got removed every time someone complained about a manufacturer, this would be a much quieter site. hehe

Tip. It was removed once. Reposting the same thread is going to get it removed again. And then you banned.

So I can't mention the name of the manufacturer of my car?

Indeed, it appears to have been removed (rightly) as it contravenes our no 'naming and shaming' rule.

It's been in force for a few years, and your post was reported as it mentioned dealer names throughout. The Chrysler name is less sensitive, but it was the dealer naming that broke the rules.

I understand you are going to attempt to contact magazines like Auto Express? I hope that works out for you as it will make a good story.

I understand the N&S rulings, but a serious point: should we remove all threads where somebody mentions shortcomings from manufacturers or their cars. Should all TVR Speed 6 threads be removed? Rover K series? Porsche RMS ?

Can the thread be reinstated without the dealer names then? It was an interesting topic and I for one would like to see how it pans out.

If anyone read the post they would see that I was not shaming the dealer (who was mentioned only once), they've been very helpful in fact and no criticism was gven or implied. I apologise for that and will make the post without naming anyone.

I've also emailed Autocar since they are the same group as PH.
You can imagine how desperate I am getting. The dealer name did appear but with no negative or shame attached, they've been as helpful as they can be.
Can you reactivate the thread and delete their name then? It had a lot of response and valuable comments that I was still reading and that others may like to follow

I read the thread and remember him saying the dealer was as frustrated as the OP, no name and shame there.....smile

I hope you get your problem resolved sooner rather than later......What a ridiculous state of affairs.

thats correct. It was in fact the dealer who told me to contact the manufacturer directly as they were getting nowhere either despite their best efforts. I never criticised them, though perhaps the name appearing was enough?

or maybe because i mentioned the name of the director of customer services at the manufacturer - i've apologised for this and ont do it again obviously.

I am trying to get some help, support, ideas as to how i can get my unacceptable situation sorted and was recommended to the PH forum - i dont want to get the posts deleted or me bounced off
