Just curious – There was a recent post in the Canadian section with the title of "Eurocharged", who I guess are one of the forum sponsors. All about pulleys and ECU tuning for Jaguars, seemingly aimed at the STR. Looked very interesting, and forum member GT42R decided to follow up, and requested moderators to transfer the post to the S-type section.

Shortly after that, the post has disappeared completely from the face of the earth. Just curious to know what is going on here...

Has the post been withdrawn?
Are the moderators on holiday?
Have Eurocharged ceased their sponsorship of the forum?
Are the postings of GT42R no longer held in high regard?

Just curious.

 

Was the post definitely by Eurocharged and not just concerning them?
Perhaps they were advertising without being sponsors?

 

The initial post was by Eurocharged, apparently an effort to advertise their services. I vaguely remember at that time that the word "sponsor" was mentioned. There were several contributors to the thread, including Mikey, myself, I think Rasputin, but most definitely GT42R.

I do recall that GT42R said he was just around the corner from these people, said they seemed to know what they were talking about, took his car around and downloaded part (or all of) the ECU, which they were going to send it to Texas for analysis.

I was very interested to read this thread since GT42R said he was going to check the results with a before-and-after dyno test.

 

Well my guess would be advertising their wares without being a vendor, the have 0 posts not even an intro.

 

Eurocharged Canada is a banned user.

Banned on 23rd Aug 2013 by Translator as "commercial spammer, 1st post selling + links" which contravenes forum rules.

Post consequently removed.

Wow, someone better tell GT42R. Thanks, GGG.

 

Robin, unfortunately we get people signing up to the forum simply to promote their business or worse.

If a new member makes no effort to follow the forum guidelines and makes a first post containing various commercial links before making any enquiries about becoming a vendor, they WILL be removed as a spammer.

Sadly, the state of things on the internet means that we have to tar everyone with the same brush.

Normally you won't be aware of just how many would be spammers we remove before they can do any damage by becoming active.

That is not to say that we can't also 'unremove' someone, should they decide to follow proper protocol and prove to be genuine.

The contact via email is open to anyone who wants to enquire about paying Vendor status.

If the first post in a thread is removed, then all subsequent posts within the thread will also go, but this has no bearing on the regard that we hold for forum members.

We simply try to keep the site as clean and spam free as possible for all members and we also have to 'protect' our paying sponsors, without whom the site would cease to exist.

HTH,
Richard

 

I hold myself partially at fault- never occurred to me to verify if they were a legit sponsor or not.

 

Mikey, don't worry about it too much, as far as we're aware they're not a sponsor of this forum.

If they turn out to be at some point we'll find out about it and rectify it, no problems.

Better safe than sorry....
