The short of it is, if you are organizing a non-for-profit group buy, go for it. But if you're making a profit out of it, you need to be an Official Vendor. This is mainly to prevent the forum from becoming one big billboard, and to be fair to other sponsors.

The confusion part is, you say "I'm NOT an employee of RCI" in one email, and in another say that you are part RCI". So not sure which is it.

Let's continue this conversation over PM/email.

We are currently reviewing other group buys.
My group buy was also deleted. I did receive an answer from you via PM. However I do not work for or with URD and am not making a profit, nor was I asked my affiliation. By those standards, my group buy should not have been deleted either. Very confused by your statement

Become a paying "official vendor" and I bet you get a response to your PM. Otherwise, this billboard site has no interest in your group buy.

@admin Please reply to my PM at your earliest convenience. My group buy thread for TemboTusk was deleted without any prior warning and no contact afterward explaining these actions. Contact prior to or after the action would have been nice to explain the situation and why the action was taken. Thank you.

Also this is the description for the Group Buy page on this forum:
"Posts announcing various group buys that our members organize with vendors. The sole purpose is to benefit our members!"

A bit of clarity on this would be appreciated as this is what our members have always done: BENEFIT EACH OTHER. This forum has never been a "billboard", so I'm not sure where this is all stemming from.

You are not the only one this is happening to. Looks like the “rules at being changed on the fly to justify some of this, and to hit up people to pay a vendor fee. It’s really sad. This was supposed to be a site for members, not a site for vendors before members. Why the sudden change? Does T4R need funding, or what?

Dude I was a member trying to sell a few extra wiring harnesses I made myself, so I’m not a business or promoting a brand, and my threads were deleted. Welcome to the new standard I guess.

Ya man it's sad. Honestly BS. I am not a vendor working for profit either. Just another guy trying to help forum members get a good deal on a good product and put what knowledge I have out there for everyone.

I'm in the same boat as most people here - I am not a vendor, nor am I affiliated with any manufacturer. My latest Aurora GB was deleted months ago, simply because I am not an "official vendor". I make no money on the GB, I simply have a connection with the factory. All the pleas and explanations to the admins were met with "you need to be an official vendor" and the latest email of mine did not even get a response. Do I need to pay to get a response as well?

It was nice to have the GBs take place, be all inclusive, competitive, have actual deals. Now all you see are GBs from 2-3 "official" vendors. So much for variety and competition, and scoring a killer deal.

Tacomaworld here I come!

My group buy for TemboTusk is back on. Just took one PM after I got back from travel today. Maybe they're turning over a new leaf. I know it takes a lot to keep this forum running so give it another shot?

All this is going to do is bring less traffic to T4R. Less traffic = Less add revenue .
