Having just busted and banned a UK Trials dealer from all areas of Trials Central for advertising on the Trials Central Forums under a false name, I would remind all readers that advertising of a commercial nature of any kind on these forums is strictly prohibited.

The rule is in place to ensure the forums remain a spam-free zone where people can talk about Trials, Trials products and whatever they want to without advertising or people trying to sell to them.

As the party involved has learned tonight I will come down HARD on anyone abusing these forums to sell their wares...

does that mean if someone asks where a product can be bought from that we cannot name a dealer in which this product may be available?

Absolutely you can. I encourage it - providing you have no link or business interest in that dealer.

What we had was a dealer hiding on the forums under a false name pointing and recommending people towards his own business. It was misleading information and taking advantage of free advertising.

Maybe you should adopt a name and shame policy Andy.

I agree, name and shame and let us vote with our feet (and wallets if we wish)

I vote for name and shame

me too im curious who it was they been a registered user for abit then i take it ??

here here, name and shame please

Could be the making of a great TC competition here !!!!! everyone guess who it is? and Andy pics the winnner if any after 4 weeks. Winner gets a free 1k spending voucher at the dealers shop out of his own pocket or 1k donated to TC

Wasnt Legs was it cos he's alright. Get on well with him. Only mentions his firm on the odd occaision

I've no connection by the way

Andy,

Any connection to last years Scottish .........

Crucifixion

Not sure who it was,,,,,

sound's like my bank manager though i think he wrote the book of trick's

Have they no shame well on a side note, if you live in the Silsden area, stop by David Isherwood's for all your top quality meats, finest stake in all of Porkshire an avid trials rider who **** canned his BMW the other year on route to the SSDT, so your $$$$$$$$$$$$ are quite welcome.

I'm not going to name names, but it wasn't Legs.

All will become apparent sooner or later anyway so I don't need to.

BTW BJ - Taking advertising on the site makes no difference to the forum rules. Advertising still isn't allowed in the forums by anyone. I'd probably turn a blind eye if it happened by an advertiser on the odd occasion though.
