I hope i'm not speaking out of turn here but as i have said in a previous post, until this forum came along the only other forum for fellow WCers i could find was an american one.
Many of the topics on that forum just were not applicable to the way we do things over here. However one thing that i thought was good, was the fact that anyone on that forum that may stand to make a financial gain from being there by promoting there goods, i.e Pulex, Sorbo, Ettore were required to make a donation of a product each month to the Member of the Month.
The member of the month was decided by the forum admin to be the person that had contributed the most help, information and advice duing that month.
I see that we seem to have quite a few people here that are eager to promote there wares, i was wondering if they might be interested in sponsoring the forum with the odd freebie.
I'm not talking mega bucks sponsorship, just a few rubbers, tools, detergent and the like.
It would all add to the fun of being here, what does everyone else think ?

Sounds good to me - I'll have a gallon of GG3 or a 500l Reach ond Wash system please!

But seriously, it sounds a great idea and might just the increase users' average postings a little.

Denzle,

What a very good incentive for both information supplier and the recipients of useful information being communicated within the forum.

i had to check for a moment then, thought i was on some "gayboys" message board  

read the last post carefully, it all makes sence  

[pdhanson]

No No No No No please No!

The last thing we need is more adverts!  They're bad enough already!  We dont want them competing with each other.

We need a forum like this for unbiased opinions, not just a load of people trying to sell us stuff and handing out a few tatty freebies!

Please no!

Silly

Once more I say, "no"

[denzle]

Phil,
I agree with you, i didn't mean having a forum full of adverts, that really would spoil things.
What i mean't was the likes of people that are already here offering advice about their company products. i,e Ruben R, peter F, George Systems etc maybe getting their company bosses to offer the odd freebie.
Non of the above people blatently plaster this forum with adverts but all contribute to making this forum so good.
Like i say it was only a thought based on what i had seen elsewhere.

Hi Guys

The problem is striking the right balance. We don't have a problem with suppliers making a token gesture but once you expect them to make a contribution they (quite rightly) expect something in return.

Phil hit the nail on the head when he said it needs to remain unbiased. The rule as it stands is that the more a supplier contributes with genuine helpful advice the more we will allow them to mention their own products - at the moment this seems to be the fairest option that suits everyone.

We are starting to notice one or two suppliers that only post when there's an opportunity sell something to someone and, surely, thats what we have to try and avoid.

Theres nothing to stop "Express" dishing out the freebies is there? A rubber from Ettore, an Unger microsleeve, a triumph scraper...........................................just a thought.

It's a sort of "the way we were" thread, David.

[CLEANCARE WC]

I hear UNGER are developing a WFP, I think I will wait for that. With all there experience and huge R&D budget they are bound to be much better than any other WFP!
