What else do you do on a forum.
As PAUL V above has said Mark Shead, Tony and Karl regularly answer questions on their products on here. Supplying simple answers is not activley promoting.
I feel slightly victimised.
As for garage 19 being a trade name, please try and find it advertised anywhere as a trade name. There is no garage19.com etc.
My only trade name is S*****k F******g S******s.
sinking fucking ships?
are you a torpedo?
ok, sorry, i'll get on with the point of the post
it seems to me that, unless you are acredited "trade status" via cheques etc and the rest of the rules as to gain trade status, you are breaking the rules about trading
if your company, and only your company, provide what everyone assumes, is the only place to purchase a certain item of car fixing/other unrelated products (lee rynolds for building for example as he got knocked for it) then you are going to be considered a trader
everyone knows mark and rod are associated with mad, tony with turbodsystems and karl with norris so someone could put up "fao mark/rod/tony/karl" ask a question in the post and, by the sites logic, they would be providing an answer and therefore it could be considerd as "touting for work"
so, it seems to me, that you are forcing all companies to become registered traders or else they may fall foul of this "one rule for one and one for another depending on which moderator you get looking a the post first" scenario
i may be barking up the wrong tree totaly, but that's how i see it coming from a non traders sort of point of view
thanks for reading
