Is This OK ?

Mods, if this is in the wrong place, please change the entry to the correct category.

A few days ago I posted on the subject of step support equipment.
Today I received a personal message offering me a new step system if I would install and review it

Does this mean that any time I post on any subject, I will be receiving a PM with offers to buy, review, etc. ?
I could change my profile and delete my email address, but I don't want to. The occasional PM that I receive are welcome, but this one not so much

  • Over the years I have received offers due to posting on RV.NET via PMs

    Some offers I have accepted.........really good company/good products
    Others I have just deleted.......wasn't interested/couldn't use etc.

    Didn't see it as an intrusion especially when I use a public forum
  • Are we the only RV.net members who DID NOT receive the offer?

    (Too funny!)
  • Received the same message. Can't figure out why that would upset you so much. With your email in your signature you take the chance of anyone on the forum emailing you. I've had members email me requesting further information of a subject I posted. Happy to respond and have a dialog with any forum member.
  • Yes I received the same personal message. I went to their website, read about the product, and emailed them telling them I wasn't interested. The product looked pretty neat, but wasn't quite right for me. I don't understand the problem with what happened. If it would have been a product that would work for me, I would been happy for the free product with just telling everybody that it's good.

    I never felt the need to tell RV.net that there was a problem.
  • Wow - I'm so envious! Especiallly since I was looking for step stabilizers.

    PS: Next time post about a new Foretravel and maybe you'll get an offer of one of those. :B
  • I would notify a moderator as to who you received it from and let them handle it.

    I have never received one.
  • I have 25k posts and never been approached. Nothing to be concerned about.
  • That's very rare. I've posted over a 3000 msgs here and have received one such offer. And when I got it I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to do.

    I'd guess that the appropriate section for a message like this might be the 'around the campfire' one.
