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.

Namaste Chuchu and Aji a update from Steve, he has sent a number of emails for approval by the management for posting to this thread, with no family, no food or doggy pictures as we can post these type photos, that is what he blocked for. There is not any reply for his emails and he is still blocked, all for having bought many millions of people to this site.
Hi bellringer, that is not the case, its all coming from the management here
Can we not just move on, forgive and forget and let Mr VF post. Everybody on here wants this same. So please let him post again. May the Buddha bless you all at PPRuNe.

You are stretching my patience, and not helping those of us waiting for any posts from VF.
