I'm guilty of discussing other amps and guitars too. I'm no dealer and have been posting long before I bought my new amp. I'm also notorious for pushing the DRRI more than any other amp. But I have seen some people hawking wares on here. Just yesterday as a matter of fact. It wasn't an amp, it was some other stuff in his tag line. I told him to change it.

It was only a few months ago that a guy came on the forum posting his whole inventory of audio gear etc. and he was quickly turfed out.

Nothing wrong with that and I'm guilty too. We should continue this as it's why I was attracted to the Fender forums in the first place and have learned a ton from people like 63Supro, Art and many others.

Again IMHO I see nothing wrong here either - just people expressing their personal opinions, as they should. People should be passionate about their gear. As PBass said, "wide open discussions really do make this Fender site a good one."

Agree on this - this is the only type of action I'm suggesting be regulated, as this one crosses the the line for me as well.

I'm OK if a vendor answers a question about their gear that someone is asking, but I'm definitely not OK with a vendor initiating a discussion on their gear and/or trashing Fender or another competitor to make their gear sound better.

I'm also perfectly fine if we agree not to do anything on this, but figured I'd raise the point and see what people thought.

To be clear, I'm not a vendor/rep/manufacturer/dealer/distributor of anything musical, but a habitual Fender buyer with 3 Fender guitars, 3 Fender amps; I know my next guitar will be another Fender.
