Listen no one is singleing you out! We have sponsors on this forum and some have different contracts than others. If you think that scotts (Typhoons) sponsorship violates the lame, generic, cookie cutter rules that we put up that is on almost every single car forum, we will glady rephrase them for your convenience.
Sponsors do not equal merchants. Due to demand from different individuals, a merchant account was setup instead of the sponsor account (no advertising), to post on classifieds section.
Regardless of the deal with Scott, the way you have acted on here pretty much ensures your car won’t be purchased by an NECC member. Sorry to say it, but I think it’s true.
I was going to say Amir, the reason we have the three month rule on imported cars was because of Typhoon in the first place.
There’s nothing wrong with selling your car, but it was obvious that people were just bringing in JDM cars and flipping them on our forum. So, we decided to do something about that. Unfortunately, now that we have the rule we have to abide by it.
And for the record, no personal favors/side deals are being done by the club. Every important decision goes to the board for a vote, so it’s not up to one person to decide what happens with the club. As I’m sure you’re aware, in the past personal favors were done, so we had to change that as well when we became a society.
the way ive acted? as in how asking questions about something that i was not imformed or had heard about or seen that was wrong. if someone had messaged me about this when i first asked about why scoot always posts this and that then we wouldnt have gone this far and made a big argument of it.
scoot hasnt had the merchant thing under his name for long so w/e forget the whole thing i really dont care.
Dude, if you want to sell your car here and can prove that you’ve had it registered and insured for 3 months, then we’d be happy to let you pop it on the forums. I’m sorry you’re upset about it, but really these rules are good and make sure that people can’t take advantage of the club.
exactly these rules are good and effective when EVERYONE follows them and that is why this has come up.
i seen him doing it so hell ill do it 2 but then i get knocked on in a matter of minutes about this and that rule when i put up a 4 sale thread just like he has done countless times over the last year or so.
i agree with that but they are saying that he has a sponsor ship or to be more exact he is a merchant but i was told back in april that he was coming to a end and that he wouldnt be able to post his car the way he does anymore yet he was still posting them and not a word was said to him or a thread closed. also he hasnt had the jdm merchant under his name for very long. making the 3 month rule effective for him in which he broke and the board of directors not dealing with it.
for the RECORD(s) u guys where letting him bend the rules when there was a board of directors. the board of directors was established between march 07(the main directors), to april 19 being the latest for the final spots. scoot has been posting cars up for sale when ever he wanted even more after there was a board of directors.
Dont be a bitch, even if scott does have “personal favours”. Thats your loss, not his. They can choose to do what they want as a club, whether that be giving a friend special treatment or telling you to fuck off…its their choice…if you want to sell the car here, im sure you can set up some sort of deal where the club gets a cut of your profits… :lol: They wont mind one bit. Also, we all use beyond.ca and 780tuners.com as well, so anything posted on there we all end up seeing anyway. Just post stuff up elsewhere, and stop bitching if your not willing to lose some profit to the club.
The board of directors was set up earlier this year.
Scott was still selling goods on the forum while the board of directors were in place.
A few months down the road we as a board realized that selling JDM cars was becoming an issue, not only with Scott. We enacted the three month rule. Scott stopped selling cars on the forum.
Scott did continue to sell the odd parts on the forum, but then we stopped that as well.
He then paid the club to be a merchant and has since started posted cars and parts for sale.
If anyone tries to sell a JDM car that may be landed for less than three months the thread will be locked.
If you are selling cars, be it JDM or not, for profit, and the board is aware of that, the thread will be locked.
We are aware how much profit is made on flipping JDM cars and the amount we are asking to be a merchant is much less than that.
Now this thread is closed. If there are anymore questions please take it to private message.
Scott, I am sorry that you were dragged into this matter.
