Deleted threads

[TISPKJ]

So we have another deleted thread by the looks of it in this case supercar showrooms.
Whilst I understand the implications of slagging off dealers etc without any foundation I don't see how when the pistonheads member kept to the rules and the conversation or disagreement was instigated by the garage it needs to be deleted ?

I only read up to the first response by the member .....

It was naming and shaming a business, plain and simple. It's against the rules.

Is it against the rules to suggest that Hitler was a bad man?

If people have positive comments then post away, negative comments, oh no, can't have any of those, might rattle a cage or two.

I was always under the impression that internet forums give the users the chance to speak "freely" about the subject(s) in hand.

But in this case the business instigated it !

Not this one. Read the Posting Rules.

By all means try it elsewhere and see how you get on ....

No they didn't.

The thread was resurrected by someone saying they wouldn't use the dealer again. And then proceeding to explain why.

If you can't remember why this rule exists, read this thread that has been there for all to see for exactly 7 years tomorrow.
