Oh dear, but now I've given the PF a bad name.
I am a very impatient person, I wish things could be hidden and then dealt with immediately. I don't mean to threaten or anything, I have always been impatient. Waiting makes me anxious, so I try to speed it up in ways that are probably quite inappropriate and to be honest annoy people. Its just the way I am though.
I got so anxious, I have been having trouble breathing, thats why I wanted it finished.
I wish I could change, but it ain't easy.
If anyone is interested then heres where to go...

Oh, Kaz, you haven't given anyone a bad name. The PF is lucky to have someone like you among their ranks who's willing to fight tooth and nail to support them rather than the wishy-washy sort of person who prefers to keep their light under a bushel.
I'm sure no-one will take what you said as a serious "threat", and will understand it was a knee-jerk reaction to feeling upset and having something hidden which means so much to you. At least I *hope* so!
Hope that this moderation thing is resolved soon, one way or the other. And thanks again for caring enough to share and spread the word. Might not have gone about it the right way as far as he Rules are concerned, but your heart was, as always, in the right place.

Hi PC, they have emailed me hours ago to say it was being removed due to the donation bit, which is fair enough, the beeb can't be seen to support donations. Don't know why it still says hidden and not removed?

I dunno. Will be interesting to see how long that takes.
They do realize that you weren't aware of the fact it was against the beeb rules to ask for donations? Is it okay to link to an outside site which does? I think their disclaimer would have them covered in that case...

It says 'hidden' because that is what it is. It hasn't been 'removed' as posts can't be removed without removing the whole thread.

I see, that makes sense GreyDesk.
Ummmmmmmmm thinking about it, I do remember reading about rules against money stuff. But I was so fired up in posting the news release everywhere I could that I forgot.
I have linked to the news page I run though, so its all on there.

'BBC cannot be seen to support donations' - tell that to Children in Need Until later...
