Just wondering what the score is as I see the threads have been removed. Is it not somewhat important that they stay? Is it on the grounds of "no such thing as bad publicity"?Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC

When the thread went a little light went out. Bit like on the dash.

They have repeatedly broken the site's terms of use regarding commercial posting.
There was no apology for that or acknowledgement that they missed the commercial rules.
Having been caught out they then made a further post full of spam keywords trying to use the forum to improve their Google standings.
Sadly for them this doesn't work any more due to the proliferation of comment and forum spam. Not that it stops me banning and removing.
There are proper channels to go down, this was not one of them. No other business gets to spam like that and be left on, entertaining or otherwise.06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
Any issues with the site let me know!
I feel that it is not unreasonable however for people to be made aware of the one review from Yell, which has been deleted both from this forum & from Yell today:-
and to be alerted to concerns expressed with regard to both Midland Diesel Solutions and Terry Taylor garages.

At least peeps spotted it was a spam/scam, I didn't.

I think that's fair enough. Just to be clear though, my concern is not at all due to the entertaining nature.
So, for clarity, you would not be happy to retain a post warning against the use of said company?Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC

I did try and leave them some great feedback ( ) on Yell, but not able to......now if somebody could work out how to do that, then add it to this post, we could all log in and give them some positive feedback Iggy/Ieuan
