I thought it was odd, but I think it's possibly as you've offered to do some work for free, but that work might be associated with your company.

Thought it was a really great offer, but I guess that's what it is. Would be nice if the mod has gone to the effort of deleting posts to at least explain why!
Bit harsh, given that a lot of users here give away time / experience without commercial gain and don't have a problem.

I know what you are saying. But on a commercial
Basis I have better things to do with my time
Than mess about making Noble bits.... I do it to help
Out. There are posts on here now talking about
How much things will cost?!? Why aren't they deleted?
I'm guessing 1 or 2 guys on here are also moderators!?!
They need to chill out and let us help each other
Out, but that's just my opinion!

Thanks
Gary

Advertising or forum seeding arnt allowed, if it's associated with a business it could be both.

What's forum seeding Adrian? I definitely wasn't advertising or making a profit so I'm not sure what I've done to be honest

Thanks

Would it have something to do with Noble copyright as your putting their name on it

I thought it was a very (over) generous offer, given the setup and messing about time with these things!

Just trying to shed some light on what's happened. Hardly motivates you though does it, try to do something nice and get slapped down!

My motivation is trying to improve my 3R and removing all the cheap parts. And since I've already gone to the trouble of setting everything up to produce bits for me I thought it would be nice to offer these bits to others. Anyway never mind I'll crack on.

Thanks

But advertising your Noble as a "cheap option" plug is ok???
Your correct Adrian, just seems the rules are inconsistant at times. More so here as it was a give away and not for profit. Anyway I'm still up for the bits, as I asked before, would PayPal be easyest??

I'm more inclined to think this is more a copyright issue than anything else .

We have see threads removed before , remember the guy who produced the floor mats with the Noble logo on it .

Either way Gary chin up and keep at it , what's next ? biggrin

Maybe you should post on Nobleparts in the owners section? Don't think there's the same bureaucracy there.

Did they say M12 GTO? Would that be copyright. If said Noble then maybe but it didn't.

It is an odd one though.

I'll try to be more subtle in the future, I will not be
Defeated by the PH police smile

What's next is a full interior change, then remodel
The back end a little, lotus exige lights, new diffuser, new rims,intercooler,
Hard pipes, remap, new grill/mess all round from 316 s/s (honeycombed pattern)
And full respray....

Ross have asked me to sort out s/s towing eyes if anyone wants then.

Thanks

Ive been watching this topic,and looking at some of the threads that Gary has posted.Ive put items on here without stating that they were "FOR SALE" in fact i stated that i had an exhaust, and exhaust manifolds looking for a new home and the thread got pulled off.
Gary you blatantly offered to undercut swlc with your half price badges.You offed your tt vents,and cill plates for sale.You also offered your window winders ,then changed tack and offered them for free. Im surprised your threads lasted as long as they did!!!
There have been group buys in the past, which should have not directly profited the originator of the group buy, which is how it should be.Imho it would appear that you are offering products that your company can make,even though you stated that "YOU WERE NOT MAKING A PROFIT FROM IT".I doubt that swlc for one were impressed with your badge thread. We all want to try and help out fellow noble owners,but i for one think you went a bit too far.Sorry mate just my opinion.
