General Guidelines for Posting in the Vendor Spotlight

[TaoJones]

The Vendor Spotlight is provided to our Sponsoring Vendors as a benefit of upgrading, just as posting Classified Ads is a benefit provided to all members who join Cruisers Forum. The Spotlight is a way for SVs to let other members know about their product, service or company . . . a unique showcase of what they have to offer.

From time to time, SVs may use this showcase to offer Cruisers Forum members deals, discounts, specials and promotions as a way to give back to the cruising community for supporting them. They are fellow CF members first and foremost.

A civilized person would not go into the local bakery, stand by the showcase and make rude comments about the baked goods to others who peer at the baker's offerings in the case, nor obnoxiously make disparaging comments about the bakery, the baker or the price of the cookies and muffins. And most people above the age of, say, five already understand that it's less expensive to bake their muffins and cookies at home.

Please consider Cruisers Forum the kind of "bakery" where acting civilized is the norm . . . if you aren't interested in the goods on display in the Vendor Spotlight and feel it's necessary to advise others of your viewpoint, please be polite and take your comments outside the store.
