Advertising rules on forum?
My understanding is that this forum is Q & A and comments for owners/ryders. Why is the same guy hawking his wares when there is a separate page for advertisers? Not pissed, just curious.

I might also mention that it is okay to "mention" a product that you may have encountered that you like. No unpaid ads are allowed though.
Reviews are okay, ads are not.
Moderators will determine as to what constitutes an ad.
We have had a few who have tried to skirt the rules, but they are usually dealt with quickly.

I'm thinking rules #7 and 9. Let me think for a few min.

Whatever the rules are:
I'm fed up with the same guy pushing his products, day after day.

If I were a vendor I be pushing my product/products. This also helps keep the site running.

But why is this a problem to you??
Surely, if you can tell us it's always the same guy then you are clearly recognising his username; and if that's the case, why not simply avoid reading any threads started/Adverts posted by that user?!? Or if you prefer, you could even add that Sponsor's username to your ignore list, and then you won't ever get to see any of his posts again.... well, not unless YOU choose to open one (or more?) for whatever reason?!?
But the Sponsors ARE helping keep this place alive, and while ever they continue to do so within the bounds of the Forum Rules & their agreement, I'd guess they are pretty likely to remain as mainly appreciated fixtures. Besides, there's obviously still some users who are interested and getting some benefits from those adverts/his posts, otherwise there'd be no reciprocal benefit to the Sponsor and so no reason to continue posting, don't you think?
All of which really leaves the ball entirely in your court oldgoat - you can learn to live with the Sponsors Posts/Adverts; you can choose to ignore his threads/posts whenever you see them on an as occurs/individual basis; or you can add that username to your ignore list and so not even get to see any of them in the first place. Whichever choice you make from those is entirely up to you!
