i find it funny how this forum has a hate for spam on relevant matters, yet every single other forum embraces it

It's also odd how some spam, such as selling oil is perfectly acceptable on here, yet things like this aren't.

I don't see much of a difference personally.

Blatant attention seeking for profit, therefore spam
I know of other forums where this is frowned on

Had he been contributing to the general doings of the
forum as a member who incidentally ran his own business
that may have been ok

I wouldn't hire him because if he cant even organise/word an advert properly,
I wouldn't trust this slack jawed attitude on my bike

One or two like this may not be a problem. But if it's just accepted, there'll end up being a proliferation of it (BCF may well be prone to it because the forums enjoy quite a high position in biking forums ranking), and who wants to have to sort through it all to find "proper" threads and posts to read? Clicking on it to find it's just advertising for something you're not looking for can be a pain - imagine how it would be if half the threads were like it.
A possible solution: A separate spam/advertisers section, so it doesn't all get mixed up with the general content of the forum? Then you can just ignore it easily, or have a dip if you're looking for a particular service?

WD, have you never met a very good mechanic who's English was not perfect? Guy's just an independent trying to make a living, and could be useful to some on this forum, I don't see anything wrong with that per se. Although I do admit, better to make your advertising clear and concise if you want to attract custom.

Good thing you're not running my BUSINESS.

Anyway, my dad is a mechanic, been doing it for like 200 years now, good mechanic? Yes. Good at TEH INTENETZ? No.

Would I have him fix my car? Yes. Online marketing campaign? No.

As a sensible buisness owner your dad probbably knows what he is and isn't capable of, knows where to draw the line & gets someone else in to assist him with promotional stuff.

If this guy can't see that he's way out of his depth or even be bothered to do any research prior to posting then it suggests he's a potential liability. Do you really want someone working on your vehicle who doesn't know when they're attempting something they're poorly equipped to do? I mean damn, there's loads of guides on the basics of forum advertising. Here for example;

I know I can't spell. The entire forums well aware that I can't spell - however I'm at least making an effort to use correct punctuation & not using text speak

Bloody hell, the guy's fixing bikes out of his van, not on the next series of the apprentice pitching an idea to alan sugar.

Although the website is pretty lols
