I do not think it is right and just that new Guitartricks member "Socialmanipulation" should be allowed to clearly advertise products of which he is either running the site or selling or both. Although at first i thought it was just a site with a bunch of different pedals, once i found its commerciality, was immediately pissed that he's getting away with this scam. Not only posting in one forum, oh no, he's got to reach a broad area of the vast 25,000 guitartricks members for his own personal gain.

I know he has been warned, warned twice publically, but i suggest either a deletion of all commercially attributed messages, a ban on all those that use the guitartricks system for their own commercial gain, or some sort of measures that say "Hey, you can't fill this forum with spam".

How would everybody here at guitartricks like it if every 2 days i had a message in EVERY forum saying "Hey! Don't Miss Out on this Deal!!! ____Music presents July Blowout Sale! Act Now!" etc, its no different, on only a more casual manner. It is Spam, and a waste of guitartricks space.

there has to be some formality or regulation here at guitartricks that outlaws the use of this advertising, so why not just delete his posts of that manner?

Not to be a bitch, but why should he get away with spamming like that? Maybe i should start a business and blatantly advertise it through here, see where im getting?
