A RESPONSE FROM CORVETTE FORUM
 

So Chris gets this in his email today:
Greetings,
> I was asked to respond to your question which you sent to Corvette Forum
> Support regarding your user privileges being revoked on the Corvette
> Forum.
> As I pointed out to you in the PM I sent, there were several issues
> related to your commercial use of the Corvette Forum which is against the
> rules.
> Your user ID and other references to xtrememotorsports as well as your
> pattern of sale posts is in conflict with out rules on commercial posting.
>
> I refer to the following rule which is part of the user agreement you
> agreed to follow when you requested membership:
>
> "Supporting vendors pay for the considerable bandwidth charges on the
> Forum, making it free for the rest of us. In exchange, they get the
> privilege of using the Forum to market and promote their goods and
> services. Historically, we allow them to post in the generation sections
> and the regional sections to market and promote their products/services.
>
> Forum members are welcome to sell a Corvette or Corvette parts they
> purchased for their own personal use. Anything else is considered to be a
> commercial sale.
>
> No links or reference to eBay sales or any other auction or sales sites,
> please. If the sale is appropriate for the Forum, post it on the Forum,
> rather than linking to it elsewhere.
>
> Members are not prohibited from mentioning it when they have a good (or
> bad, for that matter) experience with a non-supporting vendor. But such
> mentions cannot be so specific (address, phone number, e-mail address,
> URL, price, part number, etc.) and so frequent that they become marketing
> and promotional references.
>
> Only supporting vendors can post Group Purchase threads.
>
> Members can include a mention of their personal businesses in their
> signatures so long as the enterprise does not compete with an existing
> supporting vendor, is not Corvette-related and is not so detailed or so
> frequently appended to their posts that it becomes inappropriate marketing
> and promotion."
>
> If you have any further questions or comments please feel free to E-Mail.

> Sincerely,

And I in return sent this email , just wanted everyone to know I really am glad this site is here

Whatever I have had the same name on this site since I signed up a while
ago, it had no reference to my website or email and I have never had a
problem before whatsover and as far as my avatar I told no one that was by
business so if they figured that out that was their own smarts, I could have
made that avatar up completely without owning a business !
This site is purely for money it has no intention on helping anyone with any
problems the Corvette enthusiast may have, I am more than glad to be off
this site where most people just be-little people and make fun of their
rides they are trying to sell and what prices they are selling them for!

I have another forum that is far better when it comes to people and respect
for others that I will continue to use and put my money towards!
If you'd like to join please do www.corvetteflorida.com
Here you can speak your mind and not have to worry about whos toes your
gonna step on!!

Have a great day!

I really do appreciate the kind words about this site, but PLEASE don't put this site in the position of bumping heads with another site. They have their policies and we have ours. There really is no need to pit one site against the other based on differing policies and opinions.

I don't have any problems with members discussing other sites, just as I have no problems with members discussing the failings of THIS site. I would just prefer that it not turn to some sort of pissing duel putting us all in the unfortunate position of a "us" and "them" sort of confrontation. No good could really come of something like that for anyone.

So please keep this in mind in future posts here, and in correspondence with those associated with other sites as well.

Sorry
 

Sorry Rich this will be the last post on this matter its over and done with,my wife hates it when someone dose something to me she is very protective.It made it worse that it was about me and the business that makes it twice as bad.

Don't sweat it, it'll all pass:thumbsup:

Yeah, don't worry about it Chris. I just didn't want any thread to turn into just a bash fest about another site.

I've been banned from a couple of Corvette sites myself, so I know how it turns your attitude against them....

If you don't know the trick to getting unbanned to at least be a lurker, PM me and I'll tell you....

:thumbsup:

Was this posted on the board or in his bio in the profile? Says "biography" in your post.

If it was on the main board, then one of the mods/admins should have picked up on it immediately and informed him rather than waiting for him to screw up and post a sale.

Exactly
 

That has been our point all along, why all of a sudden is their a problem? We havent had any problems since we signed up I wanna say 2 yrs ago.


Thank you shadow!! I am begining to think "Yellow" has a very close affiliation with the Corvette forum and somehow we are offending her!
