What the hell man, I made a thread asking what people would like in a GB, post pics of the potential product, and I get banned. WTF? No warning, nothing. I see people get warnings for making worse shit than I did, and I'm pretty sure what I did wasn't even against the rules. Anybody wanna chime in?

Its SF. Now you know why sm.com rul3z and why all mk3 guys are here not there.

Plain and simple answer to your question:

-Your not snuffed up enough of the mods @$$es over there nor do you pay money so that you can be a "dealer" on sf.

Sorry about the loss of income Matt. Everyone knows you have to have money to own a supra. Maybe they will give you a reason if you ask. You may have to apply for another account under another name. I'm not sure how that works. Good luck with sales here though.........lol

Well it should not any surprise at all.

It is clearly written out for people to read and understand.

http://supraforums.com/forum/announcement.php?f=8

8.Group Buys are prohibited by both individuals and businesses unless pre-approved. Do not try to “get a group buy going through a shop you know just so you can save all your best friends on SupraForums a buck or two”…we’ve seen all this tried before too. Any attempted group buys will be deleted and will result in your IMMEDIATE AND PERMANENT BANNING.

Do people actually think that SF is set up for you all to just spend lots of your leisure time there and do whatever you want to do?
No, it is not.

It is set up to make $$$ and all those that threaten that or compete for the $$ will be banned. So many are actually niave enough to think that SF will pay for the hosting for other people to compete with their products?

It is like this:
SF is like a restaurant that you can hang at, but going there to sell your own food (using that as a metaphor) will not be tolerated.

Now I do have issues with the admins and think that they are a bit corrupt and liars (a few of them) and so I don't post there.
(I judge a site by who runs it.)
But I can clearly understand why they would ban people for what you did.

First thing anyone should do when they get on a forum is to read the rules and then decide if they can comply.

This post was objective and stated to exchange info, not make people feel bad.
So I mean no offense by it in case you don't like what I am saying.

for those w/o an account
How dare the admins.
They banned GotToyota because he tried to attempt a GB even though he emailed an admin with cash in hand to pay for the GB fee. I don't care what policy it is, he emailed someone with cash in hand and now hes punished. This is a big fuck you to those who did this to him.
countdown to ban! :D

Tell you what...if you want to unban him, do this:
Go make a thread in this section:
http://supraforums.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=130
(Forum Problems & Suggestions)
Get a bunch of your guys ready to post and back you up with their support.

Try to convince them that it was a "gauging interest" thread and not a group buy.
Gauging interest threads are permitted, but usually look a little different than what he started.

That may be the way to get him unbanned instead of breaking what they call "directly opposing the decision of a moderator"

SF is becoming more and more useless as time goes on.

Tell me why, I PMed a mod months ago about advertising my cafepress store. I was ignored. I PMed another mod recently, still ignored. Fine, I PMed RSA Supra about it, ignored still. Quick told me to PM Artaxeres (sp) so I did, ignored again!

But yet, I PMed RSA Supra not 2 hours ago about approving my car for sale in the SE forum, and he replied almost instantly! Amazing! Then completely ignores me asking about approval for sponsorship/advertising whatever.

I'm so glad I wasted my time making those damn mk4 shirts for cafepress when I can't even advertise to the mk4 owners :3d_frown:

But God knows, if I made a thread about it, or put a link in my sig I'd be instantly banned!

I have so many issues with that damn site. its not even funny. I hate about half the mods on there, who's only thing in life it seems is to sit on there and delete posts or change posts without warning. i understand it is a business, but it is also the main website for supra enthusiasts and there should be some leway in how people, who are supporting the supra owner, should be treated. I GOT YOUR BACK GOTTOYOTA? , And you tanya, I don't know how many people on there are sporting your sigs, damn.

Talk to Bryan at SupraTraderOnline.com he might let you advertise on his forums, but he just started his site recently and there are only a handfull of members and mostly noobs but hey it's worth a shot. Besides he is popular on SF too so he might have some influence on the admins.
