vendors here have paid XXXX amount of dollars for the right to have a forum of their own to advertise what they carry and have in stock etc......These forums are paid for by the vendor and should be moderated by the vendor.......I myself have deleted posts out the the RC forum....mostly because the poster was being an A-hole.......for someone to go into one vendors forum and advertise the vendors competition is a bit of a slap in the face......No?.......

anyways......I digress.......to play the other side.......I dont think vendors should have the ability to change the words in a post.......it should be an all or nothing approach......either the post is deleted all together, or it is left alone...........JMO

I don't think the post was made to promote the competition, its more likely that when clicking on the link to the thread, the information on where the thread was located was missed. It was probably thought to be in the main forum. Sometimes in the excitement of actually having the answer to a question, this information can get missed. I know I've done it a few times but caught myself. Its just unfortunate this time.

I agree with Doug on this point, venders pay, we do not. I believe that they should have the right to moderate as they see fit, especially when it deals with the competition. (Now whether this was the case or not, I cannot say)

No, I would only agree that they have the right to remove such a post, not remove and insert words as it fits their needs, essentially impersonating the original poster.
