100%. The spamming definitely can turn business away. I bet these companies would get a lot more business if they just put their info in their signature and contributed to discussions in a fruitful manner.

Exactly, a bunch of members here expressed publicly that they will not do business with the list of vendors that does this spamming.

I’d like to completely be able to expunge this noise from my view rather than just have the threads and any Benzninja replies show up as ignored.

Perhaps there is a total block feature the admins can enable akin to Facebook?

I wouldn’t give this guy a single cent and will gladly send my money overseas to his competitor based on this garbage alone.

Must be close to XMAS again as all the spammers are out in every section with same post about black friday sales...

Would it be great if there was a section devoted for vendors to post about their sales and products etc?

The only problem I have with vendors is taking over the "New Posts" section, I sometimes miss threads created by forum members while scrolling of which they have a genuine concern/question that awaits to be answered not to mention the maximum posts I believe is 500 before any old posts will not show up in the "New Posts" section. Which means, some threads with these questions/concerns posted by forum members at times often gets unanswered because we never get to see it in the first place.

Said users are paid sponsors. It's the site's business model you are questioning. Question away, but follow the money...

Vivid’s automatic email? Is it me or why does vivid send trash emails ?
I purchased H&R spacer to allow wider tires on SL63 2018 OEM 19 &20s as reccomended on MBW blog. BTW spacers are not needed to fit GTC tires on SL63.
I returned the spacers 1/9/24 and sent them the trac number and since that day I have received dozens of auto reply emails but no refund. Today I disputed the credit card charge after waiting 5 weeks from proof of delivery to them. It just seems like bad business to not credit a customers sale in 10 days. Has Amazon spoiled me to expect refunds to be as prompt as sales?

Does the forum have a “Report post” feature?
I went looking for one.
If there is one, maybe I missed it.
Anyway, just yesterday (2/17/2024) a dude posted a dating service.
I wanted to report it, so it could get hidden, or moved to an appropriate topic.
I don’t hate the idea of dating, I just intensely dislike the idea that someone could come on the forum essentially as spam, getting free publicity, and offering nothing of value to the forum of substance relating to MBWorld.
