Well, I guess I don't have too much concern for it since I believe the general customer base I deal with is pretty loyal. In defense of all local shops though, I see the concern there and like SpeedFreak mentioned, there should be some sort of exclusive advantage to being a paying sponsor. As AJ mentioned, if others want to advertise here, they have the same opportunity we do, they pay to sponsor and I say they are welcome. And Shane of course brings up good points as well, it is pretty obvious when a shop is violating the basic implied rules anyway. Common sense definately should come in to play. So on that note, define rules and establish some sort of penalty for bending them.

Local shops are better anyway, why would people ever want to go anywhere else, between the shops sponsored on this board, we have most everything covered anyway.

So then how about this?

Obvious bending of the rules will result in the thread being trashed and the offender being PMed with a warning. 2nd offense by the same user with result in a temporary of permanent banning from DSMStyle.

If a post is borderline, contact a moderator and have the trashed. If you have the rights to trash it then trash it yourself. Then while its in the trash, the person that trashed it can start a thread and we can discuss whether it is ok or not.

Or if a sponsered vendor has a reason that they want it trashed then we can post the reason, lock it and trash it.

Sound good. That way it will give the sponsored vendors an opinion on whats ok and whats not. When like I said in my first post, thats what really matters here. Right?

So other than the attepted group buy that was trashed then what else has caused an issue? And yes i agree we need to look at hose who sell parts and don't contrubite more.
