Dear jesusbuiltmycar,

Your account has been suspended for 7 days for the following reason: Advertising/promotion/charity post

Please refer to our rules of posting to ensure you adhere to them. If you don't, you may be suspended again or banned instantly.

Kind regards,

Firstly why? Which one of my 3 or 4 posts from today (or yesterday) was advertising?

Secondly I only just noticed these emails. They arrived at 11:54 & 11:59 respectively, yet I made 2 posts this afternoon...


No idea which of my posts was advertising. If I knew what I had done wrong I would be able to ensure that I fully complied with your rules in the future. As it is I have no idea and all of my recent posts are still visible...

Any advice greatly appreciated...

I innocently posted a question about where best to sell my caravan.
It was taken down and I got a telling off for breaching something.

As far as I can tell none of my posts have been removed or edited - and I can still post...

As for the "Food and Drink" sub forum - I haven't replied to the Whisk thread for over a week...

Looks like you were banned in error, you should still be able to post!

I'll take a look tomorrow to see if anything else is up.

HTH.

Appears that your where to sell breached ROP No.12g

That states:-

"Where to Advertise/Sell" threads are not allowed."

HTH.

I got banned permanently,or so it seems, from the Sean Conery joke thread for saying someone's joke was juvenile. They won't let me back in.
Anti-Semitic posts earn a one week ban apparently. But I've been banned for months.

Looks like I've been banned from the Prince Andrew thread-presumably for posting the (I thought) humorous image of his face super imposed on Jimmy Saville's body which has been removed.

I thought I had some good points to add to that thread and my other less humorous post is still there.

Fair enough an attempt at humour being deleted but being banned? Seems a touch hard handed.

I shouldn't be too worried, with the amount of libellous posts being made (and removed) I can't see it lasting much longer.

I've found modding a little biased recently.

OK, we ain't gonna win we never do on yet another Mod bashing thread.

So may I humbly request that you refer to the rules of posting No's.23 & 27
