Please note my last post; VF had not logged in to PPRuNe for six weeks. As soon as he put up his last post I approved it and he is aware that I will add photos for him when submitted.

Good morning, having just spoken to mr vertical he is not back at all, his last post was put up for scrutany back in march but only posted now. Posts are already being deleted and steve is still blocked. There is a ton of discrimination and racism going on here by management for him having posted pictures of foods and family. Sad site this is, shame on the mods, please respect everyones rights to be here and contribute

And to somehow link this to race (he's an Aussie, for goodness sake!) is an accusation that will not get any support here. Any more posts such as this and the thread will get closed, regardless.

I am with Senior Pilot here. RotorBabe, you do not help VF's case. Talking about discrimination is going too far.
I do not know, what the problem is between PPrune and VF. I only know, that I miss this thread. I would wish, that VF and Senior Pilot/PPrune staff would get that sorted out in a pub over enough beer to make them forget what the problem was. I would even pay the tab.
I would really appreciate it, if that thread continues as before and if the problem is really that there are too many pictures that are not related to helicopters, it is still a rotorhead that takes the pictures and I think, I got a much better view of the daily life on top of the world, than from any high gloss magazine. I do not mind not to have a rotorblade in every picture.
And for all those who want to make the "freedom of speech" claim: you can say what you want, but you can not force anybody to publish your stuff. That's freedom of the press BTW. Therefore PPrune has no obligation whatsoever to approve everything we say.

FWIW, I had thought that VF got put on moderation after a significant disagreement between him and the mod's about some graphic helicopter crash images that appeared in photos he posted of a training class he held. I can only guess that VF has taken being put on moderation as a mortal insult and refused to continue to participate in the forum on that basis.
