The reason they removed it was probably because the OP encouraged everyone to go purple.

freedom of expression doesn't apply in the united kingdom of betfair

what was the gist?

Putting aside the call to go purple it was about somebody that allegedly set up multiple accounts, avoiding £36kish of PCs and betfair subsequently seeking said £36k.  Some discussion ensued about the legality of seeking that sum and the thread had not yet developed into a discussion about the downsides of watching purple paint dry.

Hello there Sunderlandfan.

Why should freedom of expression apply, this is negative advertising.
If i owned a shop i would not let someone hand out leaflets in it saying that my shop was rubbish and they should use the shop round the corner instead.

Possibly, but I had not seen anything before where betfair actually sought to recover avoided and unpaid PCs.

Thanks velP!  Do you mind if I call you "velP!"? I could save that to my spellcheck if you don't object.

I am not really fussed whether this is old or bad news but I would like to talk with you about things in general.  How to be out by £500 on a PC calc?  I guess to be out £500 on profit is ok but out on £500 on the PC would be awesome.

do please feel free.

much as I'd like to add to my own, er, mystique, it was a £500 discrepancy on gross profits I thought I was seeing. but then I looked into it further and it got confusing because there were a couple of other part-settled markets in there I hadn't spotted.

as I'm not going to pay it either way, I couldn't be bothered to work it out. it's probably right anyway.

I suspect it got zapped, because the legal implications of the PC in Australia were discussed, and this could have been construed as encouraging legal challenges.
