Forum complaint

flyby · 11-06-2011, 07:25 AM

According to the rules of the forum, political discussions are unacceptable: see rule 6) Off-Limit Discussions — There are a few topics for which we have zero tolerance policy based on past experience or simply the nature of the topic. They are: Politics (automotive-related regulations discussions are allowed), Religion, Pornography, Law Enforcement-Bashing, and Street Racing. Any posts of this nature will be removed without warning or notification at a moderator’s discretion.

If this is so, how is it that I am forced to view a political ad on the Camaro 5 homepage from the NJ education association political action committee (NJEA-PAC)?

Those ads based on your previous Internet history. Not via camaro5. This website has people all over the world not just NJ.

So, if political discussion is off limits how is political advertising then acceptable? Does Camaro 5 have double standards?

Yea...be afraid...be very afraid. Your every cyber movement is being tracked and advertisements are being targeted specifically to you. Welcome to the Age of Social Media.

The site has no control over the ads you're getting. Stop freaking out.

flyby · 11-06-2011, 07:35 AM

This type of advertising is being allowed by the "management" of Camaro 5, according to the info supplied by Google ads. The "mamagement could and should pull the permission of any advertising that does not follow their rules or change their rules!

You said forum rules correct? The forum is not the homepage.

I wonder if someone besides the "management" of the forum contracts with advertisers?

flyby · 11-06-2011, 07:44 AM

You must remember that I reside in NJ where there is a major fude between the people and the government and the demotcratic party which is the only party bacjed by the NJEA-PAC.

Safety is not the concern... double standards are.
