Is it me or are the number of vendor posts getting out of control. It's getting hard to sift through all of them. It would be nice if the Moderators consolidate these posts to the vendor board like the 211 E55 section did years ago.

I apologize to the responsible vendors in advance. To the other ones, your posts are beginning to be resemble spam.

They pay the bills. Simple as that. People got sick of it in the c63 section as well which is one of the most traveled and nothing.

Not like there is an entire section on the forums dedicated to vendors or anything.

But, you know, here in the w212 E section I love to see what certain wheels will look like on my BMW I guess?

My personal favorite was with one vendor (I'll keep the name out) they posted up various sets of wheels here, I inquired about them, and they either wouldn't fit or, and I quote, "Those wont look good on your car." Ha, why even post them then?

Le sigh. Bottom line, this is something that normal members will never be able to overcome and the only thing you can do is ignore those threads and sift through to the ones you want. Not too much exciting stuff going on in these parts anyways.

Sorry BlownV8 but moderators do not make the rules on MBworld. The current policy is that vendors are allowed to have one active thread/forum. If you see this policy being violated, please make a report.

I would also prefer a specific section for vendor activity but don't hold your breath for that to happen any time soon.

What gets old to me is when vendors bump their same old no-activity threads...as if we really believe or need to know that they've replied to their endless stream of PMs!

BlownV8

Yeah, look at the front page. Vossen Wheels has two in the top five threads. Velosdesignworks has two on the front page. JBspeed has three on the front page.

I can't say it bothers me greatly, its pretty easy to just not click on them when looking at the thread list within the forum. There aren't too many of them so as to make it difficult to find the normal threads.

You will be surprised how many sales we get when I bump up the intake kit thread from time to time.

One active thread per forum. Per topic/item or regardless? As I can see multiple threads from same vendors even on the first page as it sits today.

Vossen

One active thread/forum. Exceptions are made if a member bumps an older thread by asking a question. I will review this forum later today and remove any vendor threads that are in violation of the rules.

PeterUbers

I don't mind it ... bills gotta get paid and it's easy to ignore the vendor threads

EddieK

No biggie for me...I prefer vendor posts to reading about how awesome M5s are.

chiromikey

It's different because those threads get action...and like you said, "time to time". Others are like spam...

PeterUbers

And shardul is extremely helpful "clinically" when members have any technical questions related or not related to his product

BlownV8

Yes, exactly!

omega_jeff

I want one of those intake kits.....

Chappy

PM sent!!

Chappy

'tis a bit crowded....

BlownV8

PM for group pricing.
All PM's returned.
Bump.

PeterUbers

All PM's replied; both imaginary and real ones but most imaginary ones.

Chappy

*bump*

Maybe it's just the obvious lack of creativity on the part of these businesses?

chiromikey

Like the "tuner" ad in the W213 E63 forum replying to all his PMs!

BlownV8

Thanks for the order.

BlownV8

Any updates or are daily bumps OK?

One bump/day/subforum. Vendors have all been sent guidelines for posting on MBworld. I've removed several bumps on this forum over the last week when sponsors were in violation of the guidelines. You are more likely to get a change in policy if you can get enough members to post their displeasure. Start here: https://mbworld.org/forums/suggestions-feedback-12/
