It has been brought to my attention that people are advertising businesses, that sell products aimed specifically at the Morgan community, in their signatures - put quite simply, this is not allowed as per the terms of use of the site.
For over a decade Talk Morgan has been a privately funded, non-commercial, community. Some of the members have kindly donated toward the ongoing costs of running the site and whilst this is appreciated, it is never expected.
The reason the site has never allowed commercial advertising is to ensure the community, and site management, remains impartial and not beholden to advertisers. I have been approached many times over the years to sell advertising and monetise the site; this has always been met with a polite 'no thank you.'
Talk Morgan is for the community and I would ask that all who use the community respect these guidelines.
For the sake of clarity: a signature that promotes your business, whether you sell a service, part or product, aimed at Morgan, is considered advertising. This is not allowed.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Thank you for all your time, commitment and work to make TM what it is, Simon. A fantastic place to share and learn...and to create a community.
One suggestion, it would be sad if the commercial providers could no longer share their profound knowledge. What if we had a nailed down thread where all the commercial vendors could be seen and of course declared as such in the thread title. So everybody knows that they are commercial providers. It is no longer a "partially under cover". Just the contact information and the business area. Not meant as an advertisement but as an orientation guide if you want to buy something or have a repair or improvement done.
These commercial providers would then change their template and share their knowledge as private persons in the usual sections. Because on the other hand they would disappear completely. Any personal consultation must be done through PM but generally useful knowledge could be shared in public.
