What The ****?

If he breaks the TOS then a thread is made in the backroom to vote on. I cant just ban for no reason...
There have been threads about him before...he is still here, obvously he hasnt done anything extreme enough yet.

The only words that come out of Mark's mouth is either Type-R or TCAB.........he is advertising much, much more than Lemans was (if Lemans was at all, idk)

I'm not trying to pick a fight, Mike - you and I have never gotten crossways with each other that I can recall so please keep an open mind to this post...

A company leases a billboard and posts an image of their business or products/services available from their business or whatever it is that they put there to draw in customers. Sometimes it will simply have the name of the business and the avenue you would need to contact said business (ergo a phone number, an address, or a website address)

This is considered advertising.

How is Mark putting the URL, clickable or not, for TCAB in his signature (considering that is his buisiness and not simply a hobby) considered to be something other than advertising?

Again - I'm not trying to pick a fight or really call out Mark. He just happens to be a convenient example and my ultimate goal here is to find out what it is that I am failing to understand.

well i honestly dont think saying you can not have any text in your sig image is gonna happen. i see where your coming from, but if we say he cant have that image, all these people w/ a sloganizer.net image cant have theirs either, and several people that use their ssa.com sig image on here cant use it, and any that have any type of url visible. just too many people to deal with, the thing is his sig image doesnt say anywhere that he makes stuff for a monitary gain.

Neither of the other URL's you mentioned are for monetary gain to the person using them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

im just saying his sig doesnt say anywhere that he makes money from the site regardless if we know better or not, and if u have him remove the url you'll have to have anyone else that has a url in a sig remove theirs, cant have double standards

IT'S A FUKKING BUSINESS. TCAB is a BUSINESS, it has ORDER FORMS and **** on his site...

He can gladly have simply the "TCAB" image in his sig, but the URL linking to a site that is the source of monetary gains for him is against the rules.

No double standards.

he hasnt linked to his site tho, he has an image with a url in it, if he has to remove that from his sig, you must remove your sloganizer image

Noah doesn't run/own/get money from sloganizer? Isn't that the issue?

No ****.

It's not that hard to comprehend, unless you are utterly DENSE.

He's ALLOWED the keep the "TCAB" sticker image... but the URL ONLY... JUST THE URL... needs to be removed. NOT THE ENTIRE IMAGE...

Get it?

This isn't at all what I am asking to happen, either.

i see where your coming from, but if we say he cant have that image, all these people w/ a sloganizer.net image cant have theirs either, and several people that use their ssa.com sig image on here cant use it, and any that have any type of url visible. just too many people to deal with, the thing is his sig image doesnt say anywhere that he makes stuff for a monetary gain.

The random lunacy resulting from the Sloganizer.net signature additions are nothing more than that ~ random lunacy. I understand that Mark's signature image doesn't specifically state that the website is intended for his own personal financial advancement. It doesn't take a degree in astrophysics to work it out, though.

Assuming my memory hasn't completely left me the most recent link in Dave's sig didn't make any specific mention of monetary gain either until you followed the link (exactly what you would find upon plugging http://www.TheCarAudioBox.com into your browser's navigation bar) so I still see it as an incredibly flagrant double-standard.

Perhaps I should simply remove myself from this discussion altogether outside of watching to see what becomes of it as my particular thought processes and chains of logic apparently do not quite meld with that of the members of the moderation team and I do not wish to get crossways with you or any of the others. Prowler's world is more than a bit black and white with little room left for gray. So - I'll just sit back and watch and good luck finding a mutually agreeable conclusion for all parties concerned.

i understand his point, but im looking at it from both sides. i understand that we know he makes money off the site, but lets assume for a min, we didnt know that. would we still ask him to remove the url form his sig image then? no we wouldnt. so if u look at it from the most basic standpoint there is nothing that violates the tos in his sig. not sure how we went from lemans to this but ohh well.
