Two threads deleted already and they say the infraction came from PM`s not a post. Anyone else have that happen?

Here is the last link.

Wait, Banned or Suspended? I read thru a little bit of this... Question did the controversy erupt from Shard selling them or attempting to do so w/out Sponsor status?

If just Suspended? Let it go he'll be back in a week why make a mountain out of a mole hill

It's not about long it takes him to come back, be it one day or one week it's the fact that the people who run this forum had the audacity to "punish" one of the forum's greatest contributors for trying to help people fix and mod their cars. His contributions bring people to the forum so he is in fact helping the forum as well as the members. Now I don't know if it was a vendor or not but if they're complaining that he's taking their business then why don't they make better parts and have better prices. Shardul does nothing but help so why would they start drama for no reason?

What worries me the most about this, is that if this is true, the mods have the ability to, and are, reading our PMs.

Unless of course a PM from shardul was forwarded to a mod. Then, that's different...

But even then, is there a rule about selling (for profit without being a sponsor), if you're not doing it in the open forum? I can understand it being against the TOU if he was selling openly, but it doesn't appear he was doing that.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was ratted out nor would I be surprised if the mods read our PMs. If you're going to PM you should have already considered that and specific communications should go straight to personal emails for protection. Just saying..

Private message is a false and misleading name.

As everyone should know, nothing sent over computer networks is private and you should have NO expectation of privacy when using such medium

Guilty,,,,,,,,,,,,, but if I dont say the word TORQUE, you would never read my thread. J/K



You think they can read PM`s? From speaking with other administrators they claim that is impossible. The first header thread that was deleted, a member asked Shardul to make a GP and he quickly said " I can not do that , as I am not a vendor and would be suspended". PM`s start and Shazam, there he goes.

Benz-O-Rama

Nah, I was wrong, they can't.

I'm friendly with staff of other forums, and they say they can't. No reason to think it's any different here.

Na your threads are great! I'm glad we moved on from our old way of communicating

Exotic-metal55
