How long has there been a time limit? As you need the edit button to be able to delete posts, and we all know people who have deleted some/all of
their history on here
That was the reason why their is now a time limit, i think also it's 48 Hrs

The limit is 48 hours. The function was added to stop people throwing their toys out of the pram and deleting all their posts.

Big brother is at it again...
Suppose someone wants to leave and have their posts deleted a request for out of date information to be deleted under the data protection act should
suffice.
Their "data" isn't protected under DP laws because it's already public.

It seems a little big brotherish to me too.
The size of avatars (except ChrisW's which looks bigger than the rest)
The avatar itself (no girls incase people not working whilst at work get caught)
The lenght of time a post can be edited (why shouldn't someone throw their toys out of their pram?)
What ever next, only people with a certain type of thought profile are allowed to post? If it isn't enough that we have a government that wants
to monitor and judge our every move we have a car forum doing it too. Leave the thing alone please.

Wow, I realised I missed a 'y' luckily I got in before the 'site police' banned me from doing so.

The problem is, when someone who started a thread throws their toys out of the pram and deletes the whole thread, all the effort that other people who replied put in to making useful knowledge public gets lost. Is that fair?
In my opinion this site is run by some people who kindly donate there time in providing this service. They don't have to but they do. I am sure
they make zero profit from it as well. So we just have to abide by their rules, and fair they are to.
For example if I had a rule that everyone had to stand on there head when they came into my house, guess what? You'd have to stand on your
because its my house. Their site, their rules. The end.
This talk of site rules and regs and avatar site is boring anyway.

Except your location, web address, email address and date of birth is in the profile page... has the definition of personal data changed since I last checked?

The size of avatars (except ChrisW's which looks bigger than the rest)....It's his site, and an admin perk......
The avatar itself (no girls incase people not working whilst at work get caught)....No one said NO girls ....just ones that didn't cause other people...(not just those at work) problems.......a lot of sites don't allow avatars at all!
The lenght of time a post can be edited (why shouldn't someone throw their toys out of their pram?)......This is a car builders site, if posts go missing and make a thread 'nonsense', then what is the use of having a 'car builders' site?
What ever next, only people with a certain type of thought profile are allowed to post? If it isn't enough that we have a government that wants to monitor and judge our every move we have a car forum doing it too. Leave the thing alone please.

Wow, I realised I missed a 'y' luckily I got in before the 'site police' banned me from doing so...... Do please tell me exactly when either ChrisW or myself have ever picked anyone up on their spelling or grammar?....(I have a dyslexic/dyspraxic son so I am far more tolerant than most)....yet alone banned anyone for doing so....
