Tort already is a mod

I agree, try the products, see if you like them, it`s a big part of the hobby.

Banning any mention of FK based on a past transgression is draconian and unfair to all current members.

You`ll notice that the information regarding the discount quite purposely hasn`t been removed, and neither have any posts referencing FK been removed simply because they mention FK. I may not care for FK`s failed attempt at "marketing" on Autopia, but I`m not about to start deleting posts that mention their products, nor have I ever in the past.

Please, if you wish to try FK products, feel free to take advantage of their discount and post your reviews.

Tort

Once a spammer, always a spammer, in my book. I WILL NOT do business with spammers. I think it`s a shame that other Autopians support spammers.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me...

When I get a new car, their decontamination system will be my first purchase for it to start the detail :xyxthumbs

Heads up to Tort for his handling of the situation. He`s receiving unecessary flak. As he said, he`s simply removing the spam :rules: and keeping the product discussion / discount posts for all to benefit from :up

Bence, take it up with PM`s or else you`ll unfortunately end up like SilverLexus.

maybe it was a different thread but the FK representative was responding to a question asked by a forum member-not spamming without "invitation". whether you agree with FK`s opinion regarding their products answering an autopian`s question is the best interest of the community. the best way to get the most accurate info is from a manufacterer of the product not some other poster who doen`t have any real knowledge about what he`s posting other than personal opinon. The lack of manufacturers who post here leaves a bit of a hole in a lot of thread`s credibility. that isn`t advocating an anything goes type of policy regarding manufacturers tho.

What is your definition of a spammer? You might be surprised who could fall into that category.

Wannafbody makes an excellent point! The current hard-line stance that vendors must be board sponsors in order to post has left a large vacuum. We`re missing out on the information exchange between the manufacturers and their customers. As a result, the entire Autopia community has suffered.:sadwavey:

I`m also not advocating an "anything goes policy regarding manufacturers" either, but I think the reigns could be loosened a little and it would benefit the community as a whole.

chml17l I agree.....

I definitely agree with you.
