So, not only are these ads for generating revenue for the poster, they also alert me of possibilities I've never even considered. I'd mention other helpful posts/signatures, but I don't want to get those people in trouble--but a lot of times after seeing one of these posts/signatures, I think to myself, "wow, I could really use that!"

This kind of thing was discussed earlier in this thread. And as noted previously by another person, I do not think it unfair against your paid sponsorships. Paid sponsors are allowed to advertise and promote themselves on a regular basis. I am thinking more of just a bulletin board thread--people can just briefly say what they do, how good are they, how much, and how to contact them. I don't really think of that as promotion--just letting us know they exist. Like a phone book.

Ok, I've been gone for most of the day, and it brought to my attn about this thread. I guess Greg posted up some post, in which I dug up from the trash can,

"QUOTE (05TurboS2k @ May 6 2009, 12:31 PM)
^ Thanks for inquiring!

$150 for one side or $200 for both. This includes a cut,sanded,meshed,touch-up paint finish. For perfection
"


Well I'm sure one of the admins moved it b/c its a commercial post. This is nothing new to S2ki, so why is everyone getting bent out of shape? Patrick and I don't care much about it, but the highers do.

I didn't go thru all 6-7 pages, nor am I going to, but I don't think an old rule formed by the admins should be escalated this high.

Like patrick says, be discreet and be smart about it.

************************************************** **************


How I would approach this would be:

Thread title : What do you guys think of my hood?

Message: I just spent some time venting my hood, which is fast, great and inexpensive. If you guys need any help shoot me a PM. I'll be glad to help out.


(this is playing by the rules) at least in my eyes.

But if the admin removes it, then hell... even I can't do anything about it.

Ie: Gunshow asked me to do a 1 time Mugen replica HT deal, and I told him it was Ok. After 3-4 months of it, an admin came by and deleted the thread. Vendors complained about it. In this case, even my words can be overrulled.

BC
BC.. well said sir


see guys.. hes not soo bad......

















all the time

We have discussed this before, but again, the admins wants people making money off this site, to pay for a sponsorship.

I've been wanted to make this thread years ago, but not in position to do so per admins. You know how many times I'm sick of seeing "What dealership" should I get my car, where should I get my car aligned, and so forth.


Here are the admins rules:

Nothing I can change on it.
Ya know, this is a very easy problem to solve.

this thread is all too exciting.

I'll try to be more discreet, except for sexual encounters with men, as a member of the IE I can't ever be discreet about that
