So Chris gets this in his email today:
Greetings,
> I was asked to respond to your question which you sent to Corvette Forum
> Support regarding your user privileges being revoked on the Corvette
> Forum.
> As I pointed out to you in the PM I sent, there were several issues
> related to your commercial use of the Corvette Forum which is against the
> rules.
> Your user ID and other references to xtrememotorsports as well as your
> pattern of sale posts is in conflict with out rules on commercial posting.
>
> I refer to the following rule which is part of the user agreement you
> agreed to follow when you requested membership:
>
> "Supporting vendors pay for the considerable bandwidth charges on the
> Forum, making it free for the rest of us. In exchange, they get the
> privilege of using the Forum to market and promote their goods and
> services. Historically, we allow them to post in the generation sections
> and the regional sections to market and promote their products/services.
>
> Forum members are welcome to sell a Corvette or Corvette parts they
> purchased for their own personal use. Anything else is considered to be a
> commercial sale.
>
> No links or reference to eBay sales or any other auction or sales sites,
> please. If the sale is appropriate for the Forum, post it on the Forum,
> rather than linking to it elsewhere.
>
> Members are not prohibited from mentioning it when they have a good (or
> bad, for that matter) experience with a non-supporting vendor. But such
> mentions cannot be so specific (address, phone number, e-mail address,
> URL, price, part number, etc.) and so frequent that they become marketing
> and promotional references.
>
> Only supporting vendors can post Group Purchase threads.
>
> Members can include a mention of their personal businesses in their
> signatures so long as the enterprise does not compete with an existing
> supporting vendor, is not Corvette-related and is not so detailed or so
> frequently appended to their posts that it becomes inappropriate marketing
> and promotion."
>
> If you have any further questions or comments please feel free to E-Mail.

And I in return sent this email , just wanted everyone to know I really am glad this site is here
Whatever I have had the same name on this site since I signed up a while
ago, it had no reference to my website or email and I have never had a
problem before whatsover and as far as my avatar I told no one that was by
business so if they figured that out that was their own smarts, I could have
made that avatar up completely without owning a business !
This site is purely for money it has no intention on helping anyone with any
problems the Corvette enthusiast may have, I am more than glad to be off
this site where most people just be-little people and make fun of their
rides they are trying to sell and what prices they are selling them for!
I have another forum that is far better when it comes to people and respect
for others that I will continue to use and put my money towards!
