Forum Policy Violation

Just received this private message after responding to a TPMS post.


Hello Sir,

We are having a Christmas Special at TST. You also get a discount if you are trading from another brand.

I am here until midnight daily at 770-889-9102

Thanks,
Mike Benson
TST


SO WHAT DO YOU THINK???

  • After I read your post I re-read the Forum rules. While I would be upset if I got a PM after posting a reply about a particular thread, I didn't see anything prohibiting a PM from a commercial enterprise. Maybe I missed it but it would seem the Forum Rukes would need to include this also.

    I am disappointed, I have a TST TPMS, partly because of the recommendations on this forum. They have always giving me ecellent service. I would hope this isn't their policy to PM members to try to sell them one of their products.
  • That's the brand that I had that did not work very well at all for me. Hopefully, they have re-engineered the new one's to actually work.

    MM.
  • Being that he inconvenienced you and is "open till midnight daily", respond back. Tell him you'll be in Christmas eve around 10:00 pm
  • If it was a private message (PM), I am not sure how you can expect the moderators, the forum administrator and anyone else to police it. I would think the last thing anyone would want would be for PMs to be reviewed by moderators before being forwarded to the intended recipients. If my experience is any indication, the forum rules (advertising, abusive and profane language, politics, religion and general behavior like the south side of a north bound mule) do not apply to PMs. Block the sender and move on.

    Doing a google search online shows this number 770-889-9102 belongs to TST Trucking Systems, 4250 Keith Bridge Rd, Cumming, GA 30041
  • I would say that it does violate one rule: "Solicitations by private/public agencies, or individuals for any cause are also not allowed."

    I'd just notify the Moderator with the sender's forum user name so it can be dealt with.
