In case you are new or never bothered to read the posting rules for this (and all other s2ki forums) here is a quick refresher.

Yes, there are rules.
Yes, you must adhere to them if you want to post
If you don't we will prevent you from posting messages and probably ban your account

Specifics:

You may not sell anything (product, service, parts, crap in your garage) or advertise any business or product with your account, on these forums or anywhere on s2ki.com's website. Period, full stop. This is not a business posting board free-for-all.

If you want to sell items you own, used things, stuff you bought for your own consumption you may do so if you signup for one of the two membership packages we offer. Unless you are a current member of s2ki.com the rule above applies. It's a pretty simple measure: if you have or should have paid sales and use tax on something (not for resale) then you can sell it as a member. If you claimed a sales tax exception on the item when you purchased it (for resale) then you may not sell it here.

If you want to sell parts, products or services or advertise your business or service offerings on the s2ki.com website then you may purchase a sponsorship which permits this and includes a couple of other benefits like a banner ad to advertise your business. If you don't but try then the posting will be removed and your account suspended or banned permanently.

Information on membership: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?act=m...tion&CODE=index Please consider a membership. This site costs a lot of money to run and I spend upwards of 10 hours a day working to make it what it is. Your $20 or $50 membership makes this possible. Please help if you can.

Information on Sponsorship: email sales@s2ki.com Please don't force me to ban your account for trying to advertise your business for free. You cannot, it will not be allowed. Our sponsorship programs are very good value and if you have a business that can benefit from advertising on s2ki.com please send me an email and I'll happily send you an information package containing the rates and all the details. Several of our sponsors derive the majority of their sales from the traffic generated by their s2ki.com sponsorship so you can see how effective it is.

I don't mean this to sound harsh or nasty, just cold and factual. It's not a warning just a restatement of the posting rules THAT YOU AGREED TO when you signed up in case you forgot or missed them. I take it seriously because it is serious for me and it's the only way I can continue to try and offer the services I do.

You may not see it all the time but I work 60+ hours a week answering emails, maintaining servers and databases, ensuring reliability and security and managing and maintaining over 500 email accounts for members. Serving the needs of S2000 owners the best I can is what I do and I take it seriously.

Your memberships and sponsorships are how I can pay for it and keep food on the table. I make less than half what any other person would do doing the exact same job but I love the membership and I love what I do so I do it anyway. Please show me some respect by following the rules of the site. You don't need to buy a membership or pay for sponsorship but you must at a minimum follow the rules; they are non-negotiable.

Thank you,
Erik
