Not to sound like an ass but I may come off like one. What happens between a Staff and vendors is between them as well as what goes on with members and staff.***Oh yeah Mitch's response when I spoke to him during his ban was "I guess I need to read the rules, huh?"*** This is a privately owned site and moderated as such. As Vendors, especially since we do not charge Vendors on this site(
Probably why so many are willing to give back and help sponsor the Fest because this site generates revenue for them as Vendors at no cost) they should familiarize themselves with forum rules. If you dont follow those rules you will be warned, infracted and banned in that order. The Vendor has nobody to blame but themselves. If Vendors dont want to play by the rules they can leave or face the action that is given to them for violating these rules. And for the ones that complain on other message boards, why don't they say anything to us at all? Ever? The ones we encounter at PRI and SEMA etc give us props and love this site. We have emails and letters stating that they love how we mod this site. So if a certain Vendor or Vendors doesnt like how we moderate this site, leave it..plain and simple., they are not paying to advertise here and we are not the only site for the 5th Gen Camaro.

This might help vendors, members and administrators alike. Now, if this already exists, then I apologize. I just haven't seen it.
Milk - Sorry if I did not acknowledge your response. I thought I did. Thank you for your help too.
Rhunley14: Very much looking forward to your report. I'll probably decide by then, but maybe you and I can both post our experience when final.

Thats not going to happen, but we keep a record in the mod section of warnings, infractions and bans. But if you are familiar with vendors and the staff, you will know that we are very involved with what goes on. If there is a problem we get involved as many members can attest that we go far above and beyond as staff in resolving issues. If a vendor screws over one member of this site and the complaint has merit they are not allowed on the site anymore. The key being that the transaction has to have generated on this site. So there is no need for that list at all. There is a vendor review section and that is where folks can express their own personal opinion on their dealings with certain vendors. There have been vendors who have been banned due to shady dealings and there have been some who have been vindicated due to shady customers trying to bad mouth them.
