Enforcement Plan - Vendor Rules

During grace period: Ending end of day January 25, 2020

Situation: Vendor response to thread (outside of vendor area) about a product they rep.

If promoting their product, delete and PM vendor rep stating that new rules are in effect for vendors. Promotion of product by vendors may only take place in the Vendor access area. Provide link to the new rules:

If not promoting their product, benign response, leave response but PM vendor and inform of new vendor rules. Explain that vendors discussing their products in any fashion outside of the vendor access area after January 25 will be deleted. Provide link to new rules.


After Grace Period: Beginning January 26, 2020

Vendors may not interact in regards to product they rep outside of the vendor access area. If they do, delete the response, and PM the vendor with an explanation including a link to the new rules. Give 1 warning point with a 1 year expiration.

Threads started outside of the vendor access area about products are assumed to be soliciting feedback from members which are not pro staff for those products.


Penalty Plan after Grace Period
By infraction:
1st - warning
2nd - warning
3rd - 1 week ban-cation
4th - 2 week ban-cation
5th - Permanent Ban

*warning will be set with an expiration of 1 year after infraction.
