Vendors - Rule here = If a supporting vendor sells what you are selling AND complaints about you advertising for free, then we edit stuff and PM you.
Vendors have always been a sticky issue. Members are benefitted by having "pro vendors" post. But free vendors spend all their time fighting with each other (we tried that). We charge a token "serious" fee of $500 a year. If you can't come up with $500 to support your business, you're not really a business.
That being said, this is not a "for profit" board. Every dollar a vendor contributes goes into operations and improvements. We have a dedicated server (not all boards do), high bandwidth, high uptime, customized board, no TamponAds, no "non-DMax" vendors, etc.
About Banning... Lovely town. RIIGGGHHTT!!
It's pretty hard to get banned here. For the first years, we had a Zero Ban policy. Now there has been just a dedicated few who worked hard and long to get a Ban. One was for ripping off a member here. Don't do that. Don't threaten others with physical harm. No illegal activities. No hacking. No abusing kids. Don't steal. Don't spam (spray us with non-diesel ads like Craigslist). That's about all I can think of.
It's extremely rare, and if you own a Dmax truck, it's even more rare.
Just being a PITA, advertising, promoting another board, arguing, or hassling the staff is not enough.:hug:
