Thumbs down The Forum **** (nKoan)

The Forum **** we all love you nKoan! I guess you can't talk about any product or Subaru because you work for them. nothing like having garage full crap, but nooooooooooooo I can't sell it! just because I work for a dealership? Conflict of intrest? What ever dude! You are the worst forum moderating in the nation! Let's see how long this last? I should be able to say what is on my mind? or are going to delete this with your Super Power Admin Skills?

Quit trying to promote your business here un-offically here and I'll be nicer to you.

Like I said in my PM's feel free to contact Imprezer or Wingless Wonder with your complaints. I always listen to their decisions, but for now quit trying to use i-club for free sales and advertising for your business.

I agree with Nick. You're a nice guy, Chris, but you've been asked multiple times not to promote your business on the forums unless you obtain vendor status. You continue to violate this policy.

Not to mention that violating this policy and poking fun at Nick publically, makes you look like an ***. You should have taken the low key approach if you are going to dispute this. For shame.

Paying the vendor status can be worth it. Maybe Alex can work it out to where you have the privilege to talk about what you can offer without a banner ad or forum? Hell, I plan to inquire about that as well.


But the snide remarks here don't look good at all from a business standpoint, Chris. Even I had to keeo the e-thuginess side of my posts down to an absolute minimum.

Cool

As I have stated before. I should not be punished for what I have in my Garage vs What's at my Dealership? Yes, I understand completely were you coming from, AGREED! The parts that I have acquired thru my dealership personally should not have any affect on me, but it is. That's all am saying. Yes, we dressed did dress up a wagon. I was just telling the consumer how Mod friendly we are. I did not say same "COME BUY FROM US" Special deals are at Maita. No, I did not. I take care of every Cluber that comes in. They don't even ask for a discount. So this looks like the end of this discussion.

Have a Great Day!

So, you admit you are advertising your dealership? and why you are better then others in the area, because you are mod friendly? You can't advertise your business here plain and simple.

Answer me this, though, how do you have '06 WRX parts just 'lying around' when you drive a 95 Legacy?

Will I get edited if I say the M word also?

FWIW, Chris no longer has a WRX, I think he has a Legacy now and may in fact be selling off parts he had planned to put on his WRX. Even so, if these are parts he has in his garage that he pulled out of the scrap pile at work why can't he sell them here?

The post sounded like he had one of these and one of those not advertising an unlimited supply of parts. Perhaps there is something I have missed in the past but...

Until I hear different from Alex or Alan, he can't sell anything here. He doesn't have to offer an unlimited supply of parts (like most vendors do), but if his business is making money off of i-club for free, I can't allow that while other vendors have to pay a monthly fee for that privlidge.

I have been watching Chris's posts for close to a year now, and not one shows any interest in the Subaru community or the local Sac club, but only to sell stuff or advertise his dealership. Most get moved from public view by myself and other moderators (including Alan and Alex).

No Am not Advertising for my Dealership. I work there! No were not better than others! Let's me see you mod a car with performance parts, then you have used parts lying around. Duh! They have no use for them. The car has been paid for. Talking to you is like talking to my 6 yr old son.

Personal insults now? Funny, I've used your dealership in the past for service when I lived in Sac and have had nothing but a good experience. I have nothing personal against you or your dealership. But, you are very much violating our vendor policy when you sell parts that came from your dealership.

I have not seen any of that so I will have to take your word for it.

Do parts guys get a cut of what they sell? I guess I just do not see what he has to gain here. All I can say is that he helped me out with my Prodrive axle back that was purchased through an I-Club vendor that did not and would not return my calls. If I remember right I was buying a gasket and some bolts from the parts department so there was no big sale that gave him the incentive to help me out at all.

Be careful how you answer the test or Nickler might come out again... Heh!
