Agree SAR, but this is their sandbox and we need to play by their rules. We're only guests here just as on any other forum. C'est la vie.

I appreciate finding out about non-knife camping/survival gear deals, so I'm guessing it is w/in the rules to say something like...

"Hey I just got this great Molle vest that I think you guys would love, so go to <some other forum> or PM me for details."

Does that work?

Understand but it doesn’t mean its any less stupid. Dumb management decisions like this is why I went into business for myself. It’s hard to soar with the eagles.....
Any interest in this site converts to sales, product talk is one of the big reasons people visit.

I read the OP about the molle vest. I thought that it was a good heads up. It seems that something else has been deleted somewhere along the line so I am confused as to what the actual problem is.
I read and participate in forums because I believe that members posts are offered without an ax to grind. They are not pushing an item as a salesman or store owner might because they are overstocked in inventory or because the markup is higher on it that another. I like the it when someone does a review, also for the same reasons. If something is offered by a vendor at a great price then I see no reason that the members of the forum should not be apprised so that they may take advantage of a good deal.

But as JD stated above, "this is their sandbox and we need to play by their rules. We're only guests here just as on any other forum. C'est la vie."

It's pretty standard. BF has a rule against deal spotting, too. This FREE forum is supported only by Dan at Scrap Yard Knife Company. As you may have noticed, there is no advertising of any kind here. Dan allows comparisons of other knives with Scrap Yard Knives and discussion about other Busse-made knives. He even allowed a thread about folding knives. He allows reviews of other outdoor equipment on this forum all the time. Just no deal spotting. We all get excited when we find a bargain on something and want to share it with our friends. We just don't want the forum to degenerate into a bunch of non-SYKCO related bargains posted for free here. The Outdoor and Fieldcraft Forum is not the Outdoor Gear Bargain Announcement Forum. Go ahead and show your latest Maxpedition kit all set up. We like that. Just no deal spotting, guys.

Intelligent discussion and feedback is one thing, being insulting isn't acceptable. You can come back in a week.

No problem, Silverback. I like bargains as much as anyone. And if I see some new gear being reviewed here, I might inquire by Pm or email about where to buy it and how much it costs. Avoiding free adverising for vendors in the posts on the forum is not hard to do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
