Supporting vendors pay for the considerable bandwidth charges on the Forum, making it free for the rest of us. In exchange, they get the privilege of using the Forum to market and promote their goods and services. Historically, we allow them to post in the generation sections and the regional sections to market and promote their products/services.

Forum members are welcome to sell a Corvette or Corvette parts they purchased for their own personal use. They also are welcome to use the Forum to purchase items for their personal use. Anything else is considered to be a commercial sale or a commercial purchase for the purpose of re-selling. Commercial posting can only be done by supporting vendors. Please check the sales rules including those regarding eBay sales and links:

Site users are not prohibited from mentioning it when they have a good or bad experience with a non-supporting vendor. Such mentions can include a link to the vendor’s site so long as the link appears to be posted to help a fellow site user and not as marketing and promotion. If these posts are viewed by moderators or administrators to be commercial promotion (by a vendor, affiliated party or un-affiliated party) they may be deleted. This decision is based on many criteria and may differ based on the actual moderator or administrator who makes the judgment call. These posts may be deleted solely at the discretion of corvetteforum moderators and administrators.

No threads promoting the sale of merchandise or soliciting contributions to benefit any candidate for public office regardless of party affiliation, political philosophy, ideology or platform.

Only supporting vendors can post Group Purchase threads. Only supporting vendors are permitted to post threads to gauge interest in a product.

Members can include a mention of their personal businesses in their signatures or posts so long as the enterprise does not compete with an existing supporting vendor, is not Corvette-related and is not so detailed (logos, address, phone number, e-mail address, offer to send contact information via PMs, etc.) or so frequently appended to their posts that it becomes inappropriate marketing and promotion. The same applies on references to other Internet automotive communities.
