I am a member of Team-bhp, but cannot do anything on their website. I can just read their content and I am one of their many non-contributing members( I am sure there are many like me who just add up the list of their members). I read couple of threads and can say that they are biggest hypocrites. One of the rule in the forum is members should not use slangs and SMS language, and the moderator uses "My Gawd" in the thread https://team-bhp.com/forum/test-drives-initial-ownership-reports/116242-something-fast-something-naughty-volvo-s60-t6-304-bhp.html== which is acceptable to all the mods, if any member had used that word, it should have been an infraction. One of their another mod navin makes his father-in-laws Beetle problem as whole Indian car scenario’s problem and everyone in that site are okay with it and start bashing VW. I do not understand the hypocritical theories of the moderators. A car is a mechanical thing and will bound to have problems, if one Beetle needs brake disk replacement; it has become an Indian automobile problem for Team-Bhp.( https://team-bhp.com/forum/indian-car-scene/115208-vw-beetle-requires-new-brake-discs-10-months.html)
I do not understand what their problem is with respect to allowing anyone to express their view. What is the purpose of moderating so heavily? In a democratic country like ours, this is highly unacceptable.
The site is one of the biggest Fiat lover forums. Although Fiat lags behind in sales, every one recommends Fiat. I am sure; Fiat pays huge amounts to Team-bhp. Similarly, the forum hates Hyundai and Skoda to the core. Everyone bashes Hyundai because of its handling. Agreed Hyundai handling is not perfect but no need of bashing so much and not recommending to anyone.
They do not give any permission to post in the forum that easily, you will have to have a costly car, or need to have some kind of scoop to post. The mods are trying to mint money by various means by just showcasing the number of non-existing members. Many people and organizations have bite the dust with this kind of autocratic attitude and Team-bhp fate will be the same.
There are many sites which provide much more valuable information and request to kindly use them for reference and please do not be a non-contributing member of the forum by trying to register more than once.
