Posted a link to a website with an archive of old mayfair porn mags on it. Legal but hey ho.
But I did put a VNSFW on it.

Just banned from the lounge for a month but it does seem a tad harsh, without a warnin.

In other words the entire content of the P&P.

Supplying references in support of a valid discussion, does not, in my opinion, constitute breaking the rules.

However, posting links to material that may be considered pornographic, does.

I've just fallen foul of this and I'm stunned by how harsh the definition of "pornography" is - I don't think the ladies in the link I posted even had bare chests.

I must admit mine was porn. Soft newsagent porn but still porn.

Don't sweat it...and month goes fast and you find other bits that are more interesting than the lounge smile

No, no warnings at all it seems.

In fact, the mods are allowed to bait you and once you rise, they then ban you.even on first offence.

I'm not even sure the sinbin exists anymore.

Seems like its easier just to ban people here there and everywhere.

Its a shame, there's a few very good people on here,and ph certainly isn't as good as it once was.

Certainly seems to me the site is a very poor relation of the one that Petrol Ted originally set up....thats what success brings I suppose.

OK I know it's an old thread but to reiterate.

Nobody gets banned from anything.

We'll that's if nobody breaks the rules of posting.

It's very simple really, follow those eight rules and post till your hearts content.

I was around in the Ted years as a mod he certainly wouldn't have allowed us as mods to let some of the threads run that are around the Lounge today.

And you certainly would have got short change from CarZee the Gen Gassing (pre P&P) Moderator, when trying to post some of the stuff that members "think" is acceptable on today’s PH.

So I was a mod in the "OLD" Ted days and I'm around as a mod now, so what’s changed? IMHO only the members they seem to be a lot more mature and adult about posting in the old days.

So lets just give the "in the good old days" billhooks lets give a rest shall we, as some of us were actually around when "all those fields were green".

I know a few that got banned with no welcome to the sinbin and think about what you have done kind of thing.

Some deserve it but some are a bit how shall we say.... 'unknown' and dealt with harshly.

these things happen, but it id annoying.

I didn't break the rules, yet someone decided that I did.

You sure? that link was deemed OTT by a lot of members that saw it.

The mods are not the only ones to decide what is and what isn't acceptable; you'd be surprised at the number of reports that are received by some of the posts on some threads.

Look at the end of the day the old adage still stands if in doubt DON'T press the submit button.

It really is that simple.

I can say without doubt that I will Never be banned from any thread or forum on PH. Why because I nowhere to draw the line with what I can and can't do on this website. How do I know I've read the rules of posting so many times it's not true.


If you inadvertently break rules in a the heat of the moment, and get a ban accept it don't bloody whinge or start another "attention we" I’ve been done over type thread. Just accept the fact that on this occasion "you’ve posted an I’ve got it wrong again Dad post" and move on.

If every member followed the rules there would be no need for mods, so the only reason we are here is to protect you from yourselves. smile

Thankfully the mods will occasionaly accept the fact that, when you've spent the night enjoying a few refreshing beverages with friends, some bad men may hijack your account, & post rubbish!
If they do please check your eBay account frown

Ph has gone from what used to be a very nice ,specialised pub with a superb atmosphere and plenty of regulars and has now become a Gherkin & Firkin.

Consequently, the pub is now full of noobs and chavs, for whose lousy behaviour we are all charged and disciplined with.

The suited doormen CBA to differentiate between a noob and a long standing regular, therefore its easier to just get the ban hammer out.

TBH the 4Hero debacle is causing me to rapidly lose patience with the place.

Mods baiting and then banning is bang out of order in my view.
