    Pimping of products, ie Griot's Garage

    I find it to be extremely annoying when DarkWing6 posted about Griot's products in every single thread that pertains to something they sell... I think his posts about Griots should either be limited to the Retail Classifieds forum, or Griots should pay for a banner ad on the site. He is basically advertising the company he works for all over the place.

    Did you PM Derek first and let him know how you felt about this?

      No, but its not only Derek, I think it should be a general forum rule. He's also made it clear in other threads that he doesn't care about making the plugs.

        Ok, the sig was a joke for all the PNW guys and I will remove it if it really bothers you. When people ask what product to use on something I tell them what I think is the best for what they are doing. I'm not finding every chance that I can to plug my company. If you look at the wheel cleaner thread I was telling people to use a dedicated wheel cleaner not Griot's specific. There are plenty of people that would recomend Griot's products over all the other ones out there. What do I gain from recomending Griot's products? I don't make commission. I am trying to help peolpe take care of their vehicles by offering them the best products that I know of.

                            It wasn't your sig that bothered me at all, it was your posts in any thread relating to car care.
