Too many wheel ads!

If I see another wheel ad I'm going to puke... really. Is it necessary to post 3 ads in a row for some lame after-market wheels? Lets move those posts to the for sale forum because I'm ready to go into Zombie mode

I agree! Why do they have to be posted in every vehicle class forum? Can't they just be in their own vendor forum?

Most of the wheels are unattractive as well.

Agreed. Lessens my desire to visit the forum.

The best thing members can do to voice their displeasure regarding this problem is to report the post when they see the incessant bumping. Sponsors of the site are allowed to create threads and market their products but are asked not to "spam" the boards.

Thanks, I'll try to be more compliant in expressing my opinion. I just thought things were getting out of control. I agree with the previous post that wading through a bunch of "for sale" posts to get to specific items that interest me in this forum makes your product less desirable. It also turns me off to the products that repeatedly post and bump.

How is 8 separate posts by need4speed in one day (11/08) to the C207 forum acceptable? One post with links to all 8 wheel types wouldn't do the job?

[moderators please take notice]

Well, he is spamming the boards. It is pretty blatant at this point.

I suppose that one of two things will happen to me: 1) The moderator will ban me because I continue to complain/bump 2) I will leave the forums because they are becoming unreadable with too much wheel spam

Hello Rock and other moderators

I've checked through the FAQ part of the forum and have not seen any notes about the ability to report posts. It should be enough that an entire post has been created to highlight the issue.
See attached for specifics. Surely one post containing all six products would be acceptable.

[Edit] - I 'discovered' the Report Post link, but can only report one post per 60 seconds. *Great*



Wheel Spam!

Hi,

Ban you? Heavens no, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have discussed this with the vendor in the past and will do so again as it is in the their best interest to not tick off potential customers. Thank you!

I lost interest to this forum long time ago ( even still try to contribute something from time to time )
Every second thread is the lame glossy china made after-market wheels or how good ( see terrible ) my car look with these wheels
The "after-market wheels" mantra will kill this forum one date
IMAO

Not that I particularly care for the ads myself unless they are running a special, but this forum would be even more dead if they weren't here.

It would be better if the sponsors just consolidated their threads though.
