Forum Advertising - A Word Of Warning

Recommended Posts

Having just busted and banned a UK Trials dealer from all areas of Trials Central for advertising on the Trials Central Forums under a false name, I would remind all readers that advertising of a commercial nature of any kind on these forums is strictly prohibited.

The rule is in place to ensure the forums remain a spam-free zone where people can talk about Trials, Trials products and whatever they want to without advertising or people trying to sell to them.

As the party involved has learned tonight I will come down HARD on anyone abusing these forums to sell their wares...

does that mean if someone asks where a product can be bought from that we cannot name a dealer in which this product may be available?

Absolutely you can. I encourage it - providing you have no link or business interest in that dealer.

What we had was a dealer hiding on the forums under a false name pointing and recommending people towards his own business. It was misleading information and taking advantage of free advertising.

Have they no shame :wall: well on a side note, if you live in the Silsden area, stop by David Isherwood's for all your top quality meats, finest stake in all of Porkshire :wall: an avid trials rider who **** canned his BMW the other year on route to the SSDT, so your $$$$$$$$$$$$ are quite welcome.

I'm not going to name names, but it wasn't Legs.

All will become apparent sooner or later anyway so I don't need to.

BTW BJ - Taking advertising on the site makes no difference to the forum rules. Advertising still isn't allowed in the forums by anyone. I'd probably turn a blind eye if it happened by an advertiser on the odd occasion though.
