Can you give me more information on this post? I can probably find-out why it was deleted and tell you.
Rules breach would be my guess; were you advertising something or trying to sell as a non-paid member? Did you use naughty words?

Update: Found a one line post in the "parts wanted area" that I've made visible again.

We actually moderate very little but we do see as our duty the need to protect members from bots/scammers/spammers and rogue traders.

The history of the Gtiroc is the person who developed the website left the club as he disliked the influence of traders and tuners.

Every thread went from a discussion on technical issues to, "I can do that, You need one of these mate".

It was and remains a contentious issue amongst the membership.

If a new users first post is selling something then it tends to set off a mods radar.

I know all the mods on here personally and most off those on the other gtir forums, we are all normal, relaxed people.

We are all volunteers and we are not perfect. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Good point Geoff

Looking back at your user name and your 1st post it comes across as you are possibly selling your services.

Of course we have rules about traders and as your 1st post and username does suggest this might be the case; we’d like to find out the true nature of your presence it’s possible.

I would recommend that perhaps your 1st post should be a introduction about yourself so that we can all welcome you in :thumb:
