Dealer,
Under "Use of Message Boards, Chat Rooms, and other Communications Forums" in our Terms of Use at
http://www.tractorbynet.com/terms_of_use.shtml you will find parts 3 and 4 fairly clearly stating...
"...you agree that when using a Forum, you shall not do any of the following..."
+ Publish, post, distribute, or disseminate any material or information that is untrue.
+ Post under multiple identities and/or names.
Later on, you will also find...
"Tractorbynet.com has the right to delete, edit, or decline to publish information provided by those accessing the site that Tractorbynet.com in its sole discretion deems to be unacceptable."
We felt that the information posted by 'W-K IN NC' was unacceptable and also violated parts 3 and 4 mentioned above.
Carver Equipment Company's posts containing advertisements are allowed, because in part 9 we also cover this...
"Advertise or offer to sell any goods or services, or conduct or forward surveys, contests, or chain letters, without the permission of Tractorbynet.com."
Carver Equipment Company does in fact have permission to advertise goods and services on this forum.
I hope this explains it a little better for you...
