There should be a way to become a vendor.

I've been PMing Yaris Bueller for a few months and even made a thread on it in the Sponsored section. There is absolutely no way to become a vendor.

But PLEASE - I would like to become a vendor.

Start acting like a vendor and wait to see how quickly someone tries to shut you down. That at least will be getting someones attention.

Offering product for sale in threads and having a sig file that promotes your site is not a great way to go about it. But whatever works. Just saying.

Like I said, I'm not trying to be disrepectful. And I know you're a (well, the only) paying vendor on this site. But I have PM'ed multiple moderators, who of course can't do anything with the subject but point me to Yaris Bueller. And Yaris Bueller has logged in since some of my PM's, so he must just be ignoring them.

I'm sure he's a busy guy (or at least I'll give him the benefit of the doubt), but I really don't have much of a choice.

And I've been doing business on here since 2008 - but it wasn't to the volume to warrant becoming a vendor. I don't think it's any secret that I sell wheels and tires. But if any regular on here is shocked by that, well I don't know what to tell you.

It's almost gotten to that point - but as I said, I don't want to be disrespectful at the same time. Garm pays to use this forum to sell. I would like to do the same thing. He was just fortunate enough to act when the admin's cared about the site enough to log in.

Ok, so let me ask you this, since it's your desire to be respectful. And I don't mean to start an argument at all, just following logic, which is my curse in life many times.

If it's ok for you to offer products for sale, and have a sig file that promotes your sales, isn't it ok for anyone to do it, paying or not? Can lots of people do it?

What is clear here is that you're getting special treatment, which might be ok with everyone. I honestly have mixed feelings about it, and will defer to the Mods, whom I think make reasonable and good decisions on here.

And I'm not the only paying vendor. TireRack gets a whole sub-forum named after them -- trust me, they are paying for that.

Yeah - never seen that before. So... what does happen if I pay? I'm sure it's not instant vendor status - is that something the admins have to do as well?

I've seen many people offer products, as I'm sure you have too. And the mods have expressed concern to me, but they can't really "crack down" on me since I am willing to pay and become a vendor. I'm just waiting for the okay.

I'll remove my section of my signature for now until we get it resolved. I already made it smaller, because again - I'm not trying to cause any issues. I just want to sell some wheels and pay for this shop I'm renting, and the equipment I've purchased.

Ever play Russian Roulette? :D but I suppose if there's no response you can always put a claim with Paypal

^ Thanks, Garm. Again, no disrespect meant your way (or the mods way, or even Yaris Bueller's way). I just want to sell some wheels.
