"What a load!" or "What a crock!" would make sense, but "What a load of crock!"???

D- on the titles...

TBH I think the mods have been VERY lenient on the advertising thats going on at the moment...

Are you here for the bikes, the banter or to make money from us?

Out of the 13 threads you have started, 10 are about selling (be it directly or indirectly) and 3 are because you don't agree with admin questioning you actions.

You appear to make quality stuff and look good at what you do.

People have bought from you and the word will spread on it's own. You don't have to ram it home or bitch.

Don't get me wrong, I've sold on here

allthough I'm not as good as it as you, I carn't afford 40 grand of equipment, but I'm here for the bikes and banter.

Matts Yokes, I have to say that while it seems that what you are offering is fantastic, I would now be quite cautious about buying anything from you. Not because I feel the quality would be poor, but because I would question how well you would handle it if I had any complaints or needed something replacing or returned.

This discussion has, by your instigation been conducted in public. The moderators have handled it with the greatest respect to you and as a measure of that respect, probably for you being a long time member, have gone to the trouble of spelling out the facts for you more than once.

The way you have chosen to respond is not, IMHO a good way of presenting yourself or your company to customers.

Your actions on this thread, regarding this or any other topic can directly affect the reputation of your business, so I would think it wise for you to take a breath, make a public apology and hope that any potential buyers reading this (most of the members) forget the way you have reacted to a perfectly reasonable request from Admin and the mods.

If your company and potential sales mean that much to you, you need to show better restraint and instill a little more confidence in your potential customers that they will get good service from you, not bitchy comments.

You sound like the shopping channel.

And by the way thats not a good thing.

widepants · 14-10-10, 08:43 AM

good grief we get the bloody hint .
Now you are starting to push us away

gruntygiggles · 14-10-10, 08:52 AM

No-one is disputing the quality of your products or what you do Matt. You have however acted in a most unprofessional manner on a public forum that could potentially directly affect your sales.

I am not alone in thinking that at the very least, you owe an apology to Admin and Fizz. They have been incredibly supportive of you and your business in the messages that they have made public. You have failed to acknowledge any reassurance from them that you ARE allowed to advertise and you ARE allowed to ask for help with dimensions on this site.

It is now irrelevant how this started or what communications were misunderstood. I would just think it good for your business for you to now either apologise for making a mountain out of a molehill or, just leave it be so as not to make it worse.

With regard to your post above about my wallet suffering if I decide not to buy from you...you are correct in saying that that is my decision. What you are failing to understand it seems is that my posts and a few others have been aimed at helping you to prevent making things worse for yourself.

So, forget my wallet and think about your own because the attitude you are currently displaying could potentially make your business suffer.

Im normally quite calm in here (honest) but when I see people going on and on it comes across as a small child throwin a paddy.If what you sell is as good as you say then it will sell,but going on about it like this does nothing but put people off.
At one time ,whenever I saw you name I thought of your products ,now I think of the above thread.
Customers are so fickle
