 By buying bannerad space, your username will be given the designation of "Supporting Dealer" or "Supporting Manufacturer", whichever is appropriate. This will enable our members to see who gives back to CPF by financially supporting it. In addition, your bannerad will be put into the Banners Forum on CPF where it will rotate with the others with each refresh or page change. This also gives the members a place to go to browse all banners. Any and all dealers and manufacturers are allowed to sell in the Dealer's Corner. We ask that only manufacturers sell in the Manufacturer's Corner. You do not have to be a Supporting Dealer/Manufacturer to sell in either forum, however it is advisable. All CPF members are allowed to "plug" their favorite dealers... whether in posts or siglines. If the sigline issue gets abused, we will be forced to turn off all siglines. Therefore, it is in your best interests to make sure this doesn't happen. Please take a moment to read CPF's Posting Guidelines - #3. CPF will also allow the members to police themselves. Therefore, if members are getting obnoxious with constant plugging and/or non-supporting dealers seem to be taking advantage of the open policy, the members will be allowed to handle them however they see fit. Moderators and Administrators will only step in if things get completely out of hand (See CPF Posting Guidelines - #4) or at the request of a member. CPF will not support non-supporting dealers. The original intent of the CPF Sponsor policy was so that those who are making money off of CPF can return some of it to support the very platform that is used for that profit. We still believe that this should be the case but it will no longer be mandatory. As stated, those who support CPF will receive preference, recognition and support and we hope that will be enough for you to continue to do so. The administration of CPF reserves the right to remove the sponsorship status and/or bannerad of any sponsor at any time for unethical business practices without a refund of current or prepaid monthly donations. If any of you have any questions regarding these policies, please feel free to contact me. Thanks once again for all of your support in the past and I hope that you will continue to support CPF in the future.
