Nope he wasn't banned. For what I would call obvious reason's, he's chosen not to post again. You can check to see if someone is banned by looking at their profile. It will show "banned" if we'd punted them.

I read in a post somewhere that he was "dealt" with. I was just hoping that the mods did realize that he was only trying to help.

I'd already posted that we all, GM included, felt like he was just trying to help. Again, there has been zero punitive action against him. Nor has GM asked us to take action against him.

However, if he was warned about posting the info, and continued anyways... His fate should be at your discression.

Agreed.

Is there something he could of changed about the thread that would have made it OK? (Like the DAN column that sac-au-lait was reffering)

I can't answer this one. We weren't given a real detailed reason as to why it wasn't allowed. Other than "Proprietary" and "Private". We don't feel it is our place to second guess GM. We don't like to censor our members either. So, this was not easy for us to do.

If so, (and if DealerInfo is still around) can we fix it and get a new thread started?

That is something GM will have to weigh in on. None of us here know that answer.
