Attn: EVERYONE!..about vendors!

[Antoine]

I'm starting to see more and more unauthorized vendors posting around without any problem...which is not acceptable! I don't care if they WERE an Authorized Vendor yesterday or 6 months ago...if that blue title (Authorized Vendor) is not above their avatar then they are NOT authorized to sell or take orders from the members of this community!

Even if they have made a request and or are in the process of obtaining AV status they can't sell or take orders until I have put Authorized Vendor above their avatar.

This is very important...all of the vendors who pay for AV status not only bring you the parts and services you desire but they help keep this community ONLINE not to mention develop the Mazda aftermarket! Also, our Authorized Vendor system is designed to help protect members against SCAMMERS!

Attn: Moderators *This is one of your main responsibilities*

If you spot a vendor attempting to sell or take orders without AV status please close the thread and warn them immediately...if you are not sure PM me about it! Gauging interest is OKAY without AV status!

Thanks!

Vendor run and related GB's need AV status...

Non-Vendor / Non-Profit GB's run by normal members don't need AV status...

more moderators perhaps?

[protegeV]

so this turned from a warning about non-AV/AMMs to "who wants to be a moderator" (lol2)

 

[speedhawaii]

just trying to help the community

First let me say that we have nearly 40 moderators! *All moderators of this community have a responsibility to monitor unauthorized vendor activity.

I appreciate the support guys (I don't appreciate smart ass remarks). What would be nice is to have like an AV/AMM roving patrol...maybe a couple members whose #1 mission is to keep a close eye out for unauthorized vendors who are doing more than "gauging interest" and members who need amm status...now this would be a friendly patrol because some vendors genuinely don't know about the rules...you will have to maintain a friendly but professional manner for this position...If this idea becomes a reality I'll make up a set of guidelines...
