I've never had issue with the occasional vendor postings. However,
posting the same item repeatedly over a short period of time will be a
problem.

Complaints should be sent to the Mods and not the list. I do not think
we need a mechanized set of rules but rather leave the final judgment
to the moderators. For example, there mat be cases when posting a
certain item might be pertinent to a thread which might break the
rules if we specify an exact number of times an item may be posted per
'x' amount of time.


Regards,

BenT
