So the "No trade advertising" rule has been dropped?
Or is it ok for advertising certain types of products and services, as I notice that VickyD is still allowed her:
Trade username
Trade title under name
Trade link in signature
Trade banner advert in signature.
Does this mean that Paul @ North Yorkshire RS can do the same, or are there some specific rules about only certain types of traders can have free advertising on here, if so is there a copy of those rules anywhere as I have a few things Id like to advertise potentially if they are allowed.
Or is it just a case of its not allowed, but the mods havent had a chance to do anything about it in this case yet? If so, ignore all the above obviously!

I know that nick @ pinsharpautos (IIRC it being him) recently for example had to change his signature as it had a trade link in it, and I believe bobby singh was banned for the same thing, so obviously its a VERY recent change if there has been one.
Ive got a website id like to promote, but have never done as its a company one and previously that wasnt allowed.
Chip - unless someone tells the mods about stuff like this they might not know about it, I'm sure now that you've highlighted the issue the mods will do whatever they need to do to sort it out.

must depend on who you are and what you bring to this site Chip. If its spare car parts for our beloved Fords then you aint allowed. If its tits, arse and crack then its ok.
i can't believe that no mods have seen it, as her post is 4 or 5 pages long, so i don't think it's a case of needing to point it out.
i couldn't care less about her sig personally, as it is not competition for my business. but if she is allowed a sig link, then i would like one too

Is it only bad traders who dont make money that you think should be allowed to do it free with links then? And how do the mods police wether or not anyone is making money, or do they just ask you by PM to make a decision on that?
Or is it just birds who are fit?
Id just like to know the rules, so I know if they apply to me or not, if its fit bird pictures based, im sure I can knock up a sig with some tits in it to advertise the business I have in mind

I care because I would like to advertise on here, as would some of the people I know, such as Paul @ North Yorks, and Nick @ PinSharpAutos, but none of us want to enough to pay 400 quid or whatever it is currently, but if there are rules allowing us to do it free, then we would all like to.
Nick tried that, he got told off, so we need to know the rules on what you are and arent allowed to advertise and what sort of level of nudity gets your exemption first, so as to avoid breaking the rules.
Unless it is pointed out, the mods won't always notice. Has been deleted and a PM sent to her (explaining that Chip and Tim are obviously gay)

She's done me no harm, and although I do find all these attention seeking sluts/whores/escorts/models/prostitiutes* posting pictures of themselves on the forum tedious its a "general chat" section so its pefectly allowed for her to do so.
* delete as appropriate

Sig
Name
Link
Tag under name
And neither are the rest of us, then obviously there is nothing of interest to me or others in terms of potential business opportunities on PF without paying trader fees.
I notice her name still stays currently, is that just cause it hasnt been changed yet, or do the "kisses" allow exemption?
Ie would:
x-PinSharpAutos-x be allowed as a username?
And as she still has:
www.vickyd.co.uk under her name, does that mean that links are allowed or has that not been noticed yet either despite several mods viewing this thread where I mentioned it quite specifically?

Wasn't there a big thread about 'advertising' and company user names a while back where it was said you could put a company webaddress in/under your signature as long as it wasn't your company?
Rules are rules, it's unfair for advertisers to pay Łxxx but because someone is fit they get away with not paying a penny
Jeez Dicko & Sarahs thread giving away free car mags (with cost of postage covered) was deleted as that was deemed advertising!

Oh, also she is using a trade image as an avatar, is that ok for others to do as well, or has that not been spotted either?
Just wondering if PinSharpAutos (apologies to nick @ http://www.pinsharpauto.co.uk/ for keep using him and his mobile remapping company who supply evolution chips as an exmaple it was just the first thing into my head) could use their logo too?

I didn't notice that under her name. I will go and remove that as well, but once all reference to her website etc has been removed, I think that the name issue is completely irrelevant with the corrections made, as no-one will make the link once this thread has disappeared off the page. However, I know you're going to argue differently, but please direct any further discussion to Stu, as I think the above is sufficient in THIS instance.

so x-PinSharpAuto-x WOULD in fact be an allowable username, as would presumabley x-Paul@NorthYorksRS-x or similar?
Thats of less use to me personally as I dont wish to change my name to have kisses in it, but perhaps some of the lads may find it interesting.

Ah cool, so company/website names are ok, if they have "x" in them as far as you aware then Mike?

Its not just the bit under her name, its also her username itself which includes her commercial identity.
If you have already raised it in the mods room, I dont see that I'll need to take it up with him though mate, as im sure he wont ignore you, but if he does then let me know and i'll drop him a PM on your behalf if you like
