Caroline didn't get banned :mark: Not quite sure what thunderbolt is playing at?
Mark, are you still getting the e-mail as forum administrator? Like Andy I want to have my details removed (it's got my name, DOB, e-mail etc.) but didn't think of this until after I'd been banned and now I'm not quite sure how to do it.
No I'm completely locked out of those forums, except as a guest. They didn't just ban me, they deleted my account, just to be sure!Quote:

It would be in their own interests to start a new forum from scratch get their own membership base and compete fairly.
If you post in enough threads saying that they're ****s or that motorsport.com is run by ****s they'll delete you :D It's happened to me :laugh:Quote:

Do not enter your username and password when prompted. Instead you can avoid the risk by selecting the Forgotten Password link on that forum (not this one!) and follow the prompts to reset it. Once you've been sent a new password from MS.C forums, use that to login there.
Once in, before posting anything to get banned, go to User CP and progressively work through the sections down the left-hand side - signature, e-mail and password, profile, etc etc. Delete the details in the boxes. Don't seem to be able to edit date of birth for some reason. To delete your e-mail address you will need to change it to something incorrect. Please do not enter something here that could be (or end up being) a valid e-mail address for someone else. I'm not sure if the e-maill address change will stick as you cannot confirm it because you won't receive the link by e-mail to do so. Also, if you plan on contacting them, it may be better to leave your e-mail address intact.
Don't forget to delete your Private Messages.
These steps will remove most of the information. Provided you haven't been banned already and can't get in.
Now I will read back through this thread and find that lot has already been posted!
sod the avatars.. where's my flag ? :p :DQuote:
