Disappearing Posts
A post I made on this forum on Monday, 'P1 Value', has disappeared, and I'm only getting 2 pages of posts. When I try to access my post via the email notification, I get an error message.
Any moderators that can shed a light on what is happening?

With regards to your thread 'P1 Value', it has been removed and having looked at it, I can only assume the moderator who has removed it, deemed it to be dressed up For Sale advert, especially when you went on to say:
Please send me a PM if you are interested in the car
That comment probably made their mind up as to remove it, rather than view the thread as a genuine request for just opinions.

Ok, fair enough. I inadvertantly broke the forum rules, and I apologise for that. I thought it would save traffic on this thread if I took enquiries to PM. It wasn't intended to be an advert for sale, but as you say, a genuine request for opinion.
Having said that, it seems a bit draconian to just delete the thread with no explanation why. It could even have been moved to the 'For Sale' section with a mild slap on the wrist!

Yes, I removed the thread since it turned into a For Sale ad. It can't be moved to the 'For Sale' section since that requires paid membership. It's not fair on paying members to leave such threads in General. Sorry, we don't always have time to contact every poster to explain why threads have been removed.
Looks like you were getting lots of interest in the sale, so maybe purchase a membership
