Code Of Conduct Agreement PLEASE READ (http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/announcement.php?f=2)
I'd like to make a comment regarding Group Buys.
Group Buys should go through a Supporting Vendor. I wanted to post the related part of the Code Of Conduct Agreement (COCA) that deals with Group Buys but discovered that it wasn't in there. This is and oversight, so I've added a section that specifically states:
"Only Supporting vendors can advertise Group Buys. Exceptions MIGHT be allowed with Administrator approval if no vendors can be found to support the Group Buy."
In other words, if anyone wants to do a Group Buy, they MUST go through a Supporting Vendor, except in cases where no vendor can be found that will handle the Group Buy for the forum members. In those cases, a Group Buy must first be approved by the site Administrator (me). If anyone is interested in a Group Buy but doesn't know of a vendor who sells that product, get in touch with me and we'll track down a Supporting Vendor willing to set it up or make an arrangement to allow you to promote it yourself.
Going forward, this rule will be enforced. Supporting Vendors are folks that help pay for this site and therefore have special privileges that are above and beyond the rights afforded to regular members. Please help to support their efforts by routing All Group Buys through them. Again, if you need help identifying a Vendor to facilitate a Group Buy, contact a Moderator or myself and we'll help you get it done.
