Saluda has decided to bombard our forum with fake accounts as well as given their endorsers favors when they promote their brand in our forum. While this is not something new for brands, we have never seen it happen more aggressively. Our rules are clear about advertising and spam but they use this tactic as a way to get around it. Related threads will be closed and there will be no more discussion of this brand in our forum.

If you are in this forum for the sole reason of promoting a brand, whether you endorse it or not, you will be banned. Any regular members that innocently commented on this brand, you have nothing to worry about. That said, it's probably best to lay low for awhile as spam has increased recently and it can sometimes be hard to tell the regular members from the spammers. In a nutshell, spammers have gotten pretty sneaky lately. As fast as we ban them, they create new accounts, post a handful of normal-looking posts and then start spamming again. It is a never-ending game of cat and mouse and it grows tiring.

Brands that wish to advertise in the forum, please contact Drum Bum, Inc. at 804-273-1353.
