Default I might get a temporary ban

I am NOT A SPONSOR on this site nor do I publicly advertise anything I do with the intent to sway customers my way, but yet I'm getting threatened with a temporary ban if anyone leaves anymore profile posts on my profile page about the good work I do. Whats next guys....is my profile pic going to be deleted becuase it's advertising a NON Sponsor turbo.

This post will either get my temporary ban or just get deleted anyways.

On another note, you'd think mods and admin would be alittle more supportive of protential future sponsors on this site considering that's future income for the site and does nothing but to help this place grow larger, you have to start somewhere and some of us don't have mommy and daddy paying the bills. Everytime another sponsor crys wolf or whoever about "I pay all this $$ for sponsorship and theres this guy on here getting my buisness" is as far as I'm concerned.....bad buisness....and a bad buisness practice in general.

people pay a lot of money to advertise on this site. they get mad when people advertise for free.
if you payed the money to sponsor the site and then you see people doing it for free you would be upset as well.
trust me.

this is the first ive seen on your subject, but making it public is pretty silly on your part as well.
if you have an issue with the site and the rules then take it up with higher powers. no one in this section can help you.
the rules have been the same for many many many years and they wont change just for you.
sorry your upset with the rules but they are in place to protect the people that pay.

you want to advertise then talk to the higher powers and do it, they you cant get in trouble for soliciting work.

Many of the Current Sponsors started out the same way you did, and eventually had to step up and sponsor the site and it has worked out for them as they are still here, Slowhawk is a example of this, he does great work and got a great reputation from people on the site and eventually decided to become a sponsor as the site generated alot of business for him and he has been successful for years....

you might want to inquire about becoming a sponsor as it might be a good option for you..
