James.

I removed the original post mate. I assure you I had PM'ed you to let you know. Stu is looking into it also in case I have been over keen.
Just trying to ensure fair is fair to all users.

Seems you had "Spec R rep" in your siggy and as a rep for a company you are not allowed to trade on PF so I can see why it was removed,, however, i recall from the past that that isnt actually the case?

are members not allowed to mention theyre favoured tuners/products etc in their sigs anymore? i thought as long as you didnt work for them or were directly involved with them or in the trade it was allowed?

Fuzzy. I have explained why I had removed it, Stu is also looking into this.
I see it as User mentioned being Spec R Rep in Signature so I acted upon that information.

IF it turns out other wise I have stated in the mods room I will eat my own hair and make an apology.

I don't see that as the case fuzzy... If someone has 'company name' rep in their sig and avatar...and was putting something for sale...then of would only be a matter of time before a paid up trader complained.

Someone may have been over zealous with removing it but it is best to be safe rather than sorry.

You haven't broken any rules it seems James, as I understand it from what your saying, your just a customer/friend of the owner and have mentioned he is back in business, which is fine, I think the mod has simply misunderstood the quote in your sig (Understandable). If you can confirm this is correct we will pop the topic right back where it was pal.

I know both James and Pete and can confirm what James says is absolutely correct.

James is not a "sales rep" for Spec-r he just buys a lot of spec-r stuff and shows his car on the stand lol

That said and as per Stu's agreement above i am going to reinstate the thread as Pete is a good guy and its great to know he is up and running again...
