Do you have to pay to be an "Official Vendor"?
We have experienced a lot of push back in the past from at least 1 member who likes to complain about Group Buys.
We are an Official Vendor and had several of our GB Threads Deleted, or Moved, without contact from Admins.
Hence, why you have not seen us share any Group Buys on T4R recently.
We do try and give back to the community as much as we can, and that will not stop.

We believe everything was resolved with MStudt.

You’ve never had a group buy, you just made new threads for every item you currently had a 5% discount on.

I had a lot of group buys up and running as well and every one of them was deleted without being contacted before/after.Mike, I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by publishing our conversations on the public forum. There is a lot of misinformation and confusion it seems.
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.

[MENTION=5653]admin[/MENTION] 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.
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
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?
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.
