Something is SERIOUSLY WRONG here....

Rick just replied to the above post telling me that he got put on probation for mentioning his dealership.... he didn't mention the name, location, type of dealership, or any other information.... then all of a sudden, somebody put him on suspension

Can the mod who put him on suspension, please explain what's going on with the last infraction. I understand getting the original probation because he mentioned exact name, location, etc.... of his business without being a sponsor, but this last post did not seem in violation of terms to me. Just asking for some clarification?

Pretty creative using the signature feature to still post.. Is that what I see?

You mean you can not list a contact for a good place to purchase something?

Where is the vendor list? Hard to find..

The last infraction doesn't make any sense Maybe he should e-mail the admin/moderator that did it and have it reviewed or reconsidered

A Prius because I'm green
Rick did post earlier why he was put on house arrest, I read it and I'm looking now and that posting is gone. He said he was on probation because he mentioned what he does and the name of the place that he owns to avoid doubters. Since everyone likes to question without proof on here a lot he wanted to just show proof in the beginning. So they were a little upset with him, pulled his pants down and commenced to spanking him.

I wonder is the punishment worth taking away a great resource of knowledge from the rest of us? I don't care for mass punishment especially when the majority disagrees with it. I can see taking the posting off that was in question and asking him not to do that again, sure. I'm just in question does this run more of a risk in punishing us by driving a great resource away. I just hope they don't drive Rick away. They do understand he is leading the way in making the 63 engine faster right?

I understand the choice they made and respect it but at the same time I say I disagree with it as it is punishing me and putting me at risk in losing a resource that I want around. I say bring him back Mr. Moderator!!!

Team AMG has your back Rick!

I understand (although disagree with) the reasoning behind the initial probations which was that he mentioned the specific name, location, and website of his business without being a sponsor..... but what I don't understand is the decision to suspend him All he did was answer my question presented in post # 4 of this thread.... I simply asked if he was on a new probation, and he said, no he was under the same old probation that he got from another thread for mentioning his business's name and such. However, this time around, he didn't say anything about his business; he didn't mention any names, locations, websites, or anything else that may identify the business in any way. And for that very generic post, he got a suspension
