double standard

[Volvi]

Ok lets clarify some issues first.

If you ride a busa and you are a retailer or importer of motorbike related items of interest to our members we have always welcomed those retailers/importers to advertise FREE of charge but in our VENDORS section alone and not touting for business anywhere else in other threads. Coz thats what the Vendors section is for.

Now if you dont ride a busa but a postie or whatever bike or dont ride at all, but you have a business in motorbike items of interest to our members they are still welcome to advertise FREE of charge in our Vendors section. In other words you dont have to be riding a busa or anything else for that matter. Why? coz the items available to our members is what is of interest not the person selling it.

If however you have someone who spams mobile phones or whatever item not related to the motorbike industry and posts, his post is deleted and the poster banned. We dont tolerate spammers. If however you are a member of standing and run a business of sorts that member may post his link in LINKS Section offering his services but not if that was the sole reason he joined up on the forum, if so he would be viewed as a spammer.

Now onto that particular poster from AMC. You may take umbarage at competition nevertheless competition is encouraged only to benefit the end user. AMC has supplied us in the past with a group buy on Scorpio Alarms, they have taken orders for GI Pro units from members and are basically an assett to our membership with additional discounts offereed to our forum members. And he and others like Powerbronze are welcomed to advertise their services or wares to our membership without having to have to ride a busa or any bike for that matter, as long as its in the Vendors section. To date I have not seen this privilidge being abused. If that causes friction due to competition well Im afraid thats called a free market economy and not state based communist monopolies.

I think I have been fair here and am only pointing out policy that we have adhered to for quite some many years. If you feel I have been wrong on this by all means point it out.
