    He made a video on Youtube about it. What happened?

    Perfect timing, I just started to watch that video a minute before you posted this. I’m not done with the video yet so I’m just as curious as you are.

    Never heard of him but just watched his "Banned" video which is a bit insulting.

    I'm sure he wasn't banned because fellow forum owners do not want to hear about how much faster some other marque is than their Ferrari, that's ridiculous! It probably has something to do with the current corporation that owns FChat viewing him as some sort of competitor and doesn't want him using the site for free advertising, or some related reason. It's not because of the content of his videos.

    Fchat has lost a lot of good members to bans recently, it’s a shame.

    Personally, I really don't like it. IMO, it is really unfair if he was banned for posting his own video. Plenty of other owners do the same thing in the track section, so what's the difference now?

    He is a business, posting commercially. If you find that someone else has formed an LLC and is posting videos with ads on it, then please report them. The video has been reposted by other users, which is not against the rules. His video spreads Fake News for clicks, claiming we banned his content. He didn't even attempt to contact us before making his 'banned' video, so he doesn't have a clue why he was banned. Just another user that thinks the rules do not apply to them...

    Ban is temporary (something else he probably doesn't know), and anyone can post his videos in the mean time. If he wants to post his own content when he returns, he will have to become a sponsor.

    If this forum had other emotes besides "like" then I'd give you an "informative."
