If anyone wants to legitimately advertise a product on the fourm then they should call up our advertising guru. Jerry Clark on 01208 895103. this way, users see the banner advert and can ignore it if they wish or follow the link provided. It also helps pay for the escalating bandwidth requirements that this forum demands.
If you want to trade links freely with us then go to our links pages and follow the advice there please.

So if you register, then immediately start a thread or post, you might not see it?
Is it ok to whisper to people if you have a relevant service or product that might be helpful to them?
I would think that we should frown upon this but what do others think.
Could it be a form of stalking?
Everyone should remember please that administrators can see all whispers!
And yes I very much agree that blatant spammers should be found, hung, drawn, quartered then composted :devil:

Not always. In some cases the writer may be so professionally qualified in the field discussed that others would be discouraged or intimidated from making their viewpoint known. Commercial interest I think should be stated particularly if recommending a product.
I would not be posting, couldn't be bothered, except that I see constant posts (re Mitsibushi and Azobuild) recommendeing various products and outfits...so how do you draw the line?
Sorry just a thought to contemplate... i like info...I can filter out the clowns!:shocked:
The rule is that posters may discuss products and product dealers may respond but no advertising is allowed in the threads.

It seems to be a way that veiled adverts are sneaking in?
Forum member feedback would be appreciated as I don't want to be too heavy handed.
Several people seem to have come to this forum for such feedback, which has commercial implications but is not an attempt to avoid paying for advertising - yet.
Clarification about whether this is OK?
Where would you stop as well? Call something a Hoover and everyone knows what you're talking about. I only recently twigged that Laddomat was the name of a manufacturer and not the generic term for the doobry itself.
:wink:
