I posted a message offering a place in our car during the El chott rally later this year. The moderators said I was spamming and binned my posts.

Am I in the wrong place Is this forum for motorsport watchers only or is this a place where people take part too.

If it is for the armchair and tracksiders only then I will happily leave, but I understood it was a place for real motorsport enthusiasts.

Help I am confused.

Advertsing, of any sort, is not permitted. Even more so if you post it in multiple forums at once.

When is looking for someone to join in a rally advertising? Yes I said they will have to bunt up thier share of the costs but ain't that common sense. If I hadn't I would have had every freeloading muppet on the site mailing me.

No worries have had sensible replies from the land rover forums and yahoo rally groups.

Seeing that you are not a regular by the limited number of posts, it might seem that you only came here to look for a paying traveller companion(s)rather than as a motorsport enthusiast.

It might be a lot of things, but don't you think it sensible to find out what it is before slapping on infractions and deleting the post.

You might be a moron, but I am not jumping to that conclusion, it would be rude!

See, you are upset and I have said I do not think that. Hasty words (or actions) have no place on a forum of enthusiasts.

All the best

Thing is, we do get regular spamming here, so I guess the policy is to be on the safe side.

Let me ask you this: did you come herre to join a discussion group and talk about motorsport in general as an enthusiast? or just to find someone to share your excursion costs?
