thisnameistaken Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 [quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1337798377' post='1665690'] Chances are you could buy a new car nevermind tyres![/quote] TBH I paid £425 for my current car and some parts of it actually work. To be fair I bought the car in Feb when my old one failed its MOT at an inopportune moment, and if it gets me to work for one more week it will have paid for itself in saved rail fares. It shouldn't be twice as cheap to drive to work as it is to take public transport. Madness. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 [quote name='EdwardHimself' timestamp='1337797042' post='1665664'] Because, mods on forums aren't generally keen on people advertising without their permission. This is a form of advertising, as it will involve you "liking" their page and adding an app which will be used to... advertise their products. That's kind of how these things work. [/quote] Just having somebody from Warwick with the username Warwick_Official could be seen as advertising though surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1337798220' post='1665686'] Do you get out much? It's a facebook page, and the guy is offering members the chance to win a bass. Chances are alot of people on here would never have seen the competition to enter without this thread. Yes, it helps advertise Warwick's, but i really don't get the problem. Don't enter and succumb to the ruthless advertising regime! [/quote] 3 posts into this debate and you have already descended into personal attacks. Congrats. Listen, this is about the interests of the people who run basschat. The reason people don't like advertising on their websites is that they are hijacking their audience for their own personal gain without permission. I'm sure if they did ask them it would be fine but just sticking this advert up without any permission is like stealing advertising space from the banners. Obviously you don't own a website so this is not a concern for you but that doesn't mean it is ok.

Gust0o Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 [i]Sigh.[/i] We do this a lot. Thanks for the heads up, Warwick - I took a look at your page, and decided I would like to enter your competition. [i]After all[/i], I said to myself, [i]it's no worse than the other users spamming their f***ing "Like" requests.[/i] I'm down to earth like that, you see.

KingBollock Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I almost signed up for this until I saw that you have to give permission to allow another company to bombard your email address with as much crap as they like as often as they like.

ThomBassmonkey Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 There's no need for this guys, either sign up for it or don't, it's a generous offer from Warwick and nice of them to make sure this forum hears about it rather than relying on word spreading from facebook. Out of interest, who is it at Warwick that posts? I've had a chat with Harald about a potential endorsement and though it didn't work out, he seems like a nice guy and I've only heard good things about the other guys there.
