I posted earlier asking for sponsorship for a charity event and inviting the mods to delete if I'd inadvertently broken any rules. I'd already looked at the Ts and Cs for clauses prohibiting this and couldn't find any.

I duly received an email with the subject "Your topic has been removed" and going on to say "Sorry but rule 20".

As far as I can tell, this is rule 20:

PH Terms and Conditions said:
20. Renewal

To ensure you or people in your organisation have uninterrupted access to our content, your subscription contract shall automatically renew for 12 months on each anniversary of the Order Confirmation (“Renewal Date”) unless we receive prior notice of cancellation at least 60 days before the next Renewal Date.

20.2 Subject to the clause above we shall be entitled to increase the subscription fee with effect from each renewal date by an amount equal to the greater of 3% or the then current Retail Prices Index increase for the preceding 12 month period. We shall give you 90 days prior written notice of any other price increase. Your continued use of the content shall constitute your acceptance of the increased subscription fee. References to the subscription fee shall be deemed to refer to the increased subscription fee. “Retail Prices Index” means (all items, excluding mortgages) as published by the Office for National Statistics from time to time, or failing such publication, that other index as the parties may agree most closely resembles such index.
Have I missed something?

I think so, those are the sites T&C's you need to look through the Rules of Posting you can find them on the bottom of this page or via this link here:-

https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/rules.asp

the Rule of posting No. 20 states the following:-

You may not promote charity events; recruit for charitable donations, surveys or petitions; or seek votes for competitions without prior permission. Nor may you promote events without seeking prior approval through info@pistonheads.com.

HTH explain.

Fair enough. I was thinking "terms and conditions" and therefore must have had tunnel vision when looking for the rules and missed the "posting rules" link.

Seems like an odd rule - it's the good cause that loses out, not the person "illegally" posting about it, but hey ho!

Sorry to disappoint, but we remove all such threads unless we have prior notification that the thread has been given approval.

Nothing personal, it's there to stop the place being inundated with charity requests.
