I am a member of a few other forums and one in particular has a very strict policy about businesses who use the forum as a promotion tool. They deal with this by having a separate section for the business to do just that.

This is their response to a business that broke the rules.


Yes, the mods moved it by request.

The rules are simple, if you are a business and want to place an ad, there is a business section for you to use.

This came about because there were businesses that were using the forum to prop up their business. There was post after post after post after post etc. with resto no.56, ressto no.57, resto no.59, resto no.60.....and it went on and on and on and on....and it was clear that the posts were clearly to promote their own business rather than a discussion for split enthusiasts. Having said that, there are many VW business owners on here that come here to chat and help others, and everyone gets on well.

The DSK was started as a place where split owners could come and chat about splits. It was decided early on that there was to be no business sponsorship or ads etc., but as DSK grew, more and more businesses were using DSK to promote their business rather than use DSK as a chat forum.

The same rules apply for all businesses, there is no favortism.
If anyone has a problem with this, or wants to discuss it further, please feel free to PM me or any other mod to discuss it.

I like this forum and the opportunity to chat about things but I do feel we need to keep business transactions out. If you are looking to promote your business then use the "Advertising Forum" on this site.

Be part of the community for what it is, don't look for a return.

My opinion only.......
