Are You A Business? Read Here Before Posting!

If you are a business new to SAU - Welcome to one of the largest Automotive forums of it's kind in the world.

If you are an existing business, you'd be likely aware of what is about to be said below.

SAU requires all businesses wishing to trade/drum up/advertise their business - to pay a trader fee and get behind the website that you are getting business and exposure from. Our rates are very reasonable compared with other websites around Australia given the amount of traffic you will see.

For more information on the trader options, see here:

For the Fabrication section only, SAU is willing to negotiate pricing structure to your needs. Please contact Blitz or Myself via PM for further information & discussion.

Due to recent events with businesses/individuals circumventing our rules, which overall are not very demanding, the following action is now being taken.

As of today, 01/08/2012, any user we find posting in this section as a business - will have their threads closed.

This includes but is not limited to:

- Pictures of work, with clear user signature advertising and in-picture promotion/signage

- Quoting/Pricing of items in threads

- Drumming up sales via PM's (this includes quoting/pricing/selling).

Admin discretion applies at all times & have various means to police/investigate the above. Only one warning will be given to businesses going against the rules. Second will be account suspension. We previously have never taken issue with users advertising in their signatures in other areas of the forum. However some users are only post in this section and nowhere else. Pretty blatant advertising in our eyes and as is usually the case, it's the few that have ruined it for the majority. We also need to look after those businesses who have stood up and engaged in a trader package.

All threads that currently exist, will remain as they are a good resource even though quite a few contravene the above. If they are updated any further they will be removed.

This action is unfortunate and really is a last resort as this section is generally a good resource. However we've tried to be nice about it and give people friendly "hints" to become a paying traders, and only a select few have bothered to do so.

Thanks.

Admin.
