Forgive me, because I must not have made my point clear.
I have no objection to CA's policy regarding profiteering on race tickets - if that is what the members want, then so be it. My concern was the censorship.
If this fine body of race fans finds a posting objectionable, then I'm sure that it has the means to deter it, without having the opportunity to voice it's opinions arbitrarily removed by censorship.
If we're all against it, we'll let those who try to stripe us know our feelings on the matter.
Smokie, I respect the task you have shouldered, but it's a shame if your remit includes censorship, in my opinion.
I'm quite aware that the software is controlling profanity - I personally think it is unnecessary and I'm sure it could be deactivated if desired.
As a footnote, I find the ACO's displeasure regarding sales of it's tickets above face value to be a bit of a bad joke.
The way they treat the people who pay for this spectacle (you and me) is a disgrace. They seem quite happy to take punters' dosh a year in advance of the race, presumably bank it and earn interest on it and then stonewall on what type of ticket they might be gracious enough to issue until merely days before the event, creating the market for price hiked-tickets in the first place.
Rant over. I'll buy you a beer when I see you Smokie - and it won't be that watered-down shite you were supping at Sebring!
