"Well for some unknown reason to me i have been banned from Pistonheads AGAIN !!!!!! somebody please explain why !! bloody stupid !!!"

Wasn't me me guv. What was your last post?

This must be a record

[andygtt]

be nice to have an explanation.

[Big Al.]

From what I can see he's only been banned from this forum not the site, he should have received a mail to that effect explaining why.

HTH.

I read all the threads and I can't think of anything. Tux does mention what he paid for the injectors (and the make) - could that be it? Strange we should have just had a thread about this, this surely supports the view PH has lost it's way. Very poor.

[2.5bluenob]

maybe the thread talking about Instagram. I got made to agree the terms and conditions of PH when logging on the other day. there was a bit about not posting links etc. although not a link I suppose its pointing people over there.
And it does look like the thread has been deleted.

Good point - but can't you provide information as to where Noble owners might find additional information they find interesting? If PH are doing such a good job why are they worried about the competition anyway? Owners like Tux provide so much of the help and information as an owner I need (or find interesting), so ultimately you will follow the likes of him if he leaves.

DO NOT QUESTION THE TOTALITARIANISM RULE HERE OR YOU WILL BE BANISHED!

I guess rules are rules though now matter how trivial or ridiculous they seem.

If you get banned do the ph team tell you why?.If not then it would be easy to get banned for the same thing again

Just for clarity, if you get banned from any Thread, Forum or the site then you will receive and email. However, that depends on whether we have you latest email addy on the database. We also suggest that you check your spam folder just in case it gets directed there.

As previously stated on this occasion only a forum ban was issued.

The Email to Tux suggest he was banned for promoting the owners club .
The Instagram post was deleted because it contravenes rule 12 E .
What I find amazing is Tux always tags Pistonheads on his Instagram pictures which promotes Pistonheads !!!
Seems odd they would delete a post that promotes there own website 😡

For the first time ever his Noble will run in this year Time Attack with no Pistonheads stickers fitted . There loss .

[Adrian W]

in fairness if someone came on my platform to promote a rival platform I wouldn't be over the moon about it. it was never going to end well was it.

We always turn a blind eye to the occasional plug, but when it becomes the norm then no, sorry it won't be allowed.

Yes, that was a little odd. The concern was that with so few cars available, it would soon be back on the road and the owner may not want that kind of information to be public knowledge.
However, it would all be shown on insurance database and HPi - I am sure the owner wouldn't hide the history, so I didn't see it as a problem.

Big Al - instead of turning a blind eye, why not fire a couple of warning shots first ??
It may seem hard for you to see why some people don't seem to understand the rules - but in the real world people are signing endless bits of paper, ticking this box,that box etc etc every day,without paying the slightest interest in actually looking at 'the small print'.
Surely that's a better approach than - ignore.... ignore ....ignore.... WALLOP YOUR BANNED!
Sometimes people are like little sheep and they need a shepherd to herd them up and guide them on there way!

It's odd that Tux was banned when in the last week he did 11post and only mentioned the other forum once where other people mentioned it a lot more !!!

Maybe it wasn't the mention of the other forum, but the fact that he started up a thread advertising the other forum....... Maybe that was one step too far lol

[Hornie]

Instagram is not a forum it's a photo sharing website .
