New product announcment.... OK?

[palain]

Hi,

I was wondering if new product announcements are accepted in this forum.

I will be making releases of new products soon.

Well it's at least gentlemanly of you to ask first...

That would be nice because its always hard to find one site with new products from all diffrent companys.

I do appreciate learning what's available and don't know the best place to post the info, but I do think it's not here in these scale-specific forums.

What I liked about this forum, in addition to the courtesy and knowledge of its members, was the lack of commericialism.

There is a separate sub-forum for buy-sell-trade for non-commercial sellers. I certainly don't want to speak for the forum owners, but it seems that commercial postings should be discouraged from the general threads in order to keep it from becoming a manufacturer showcase.

Agreed. Some don't.

Most of my products are N-Scale specific. Of interest to N-Scale population. Some products will be Z-Scale specific. Again of interest to this forum.

Alain, so far we didn't have 'commercials' here on the Gauge - and I think this is how most of us like it to be.

To be more exact, we had a few cases of posts which were nothing else but commercial ads. But they were thrown out by the moderators as soon as somebody complained by reporting a 'bad post'. (That's what the little red triangle below your name is for.)

BUT...

1. Now we know that you are manufacturing ... something.
2. You have a link to your website in your signature. This is ok, it's even welcome.
3. This way everybody can visit your homepage individually and look what you are offering.

I think, nobody will be in opposition against this - and you might also win a customer or two this way. :thumb:

And I join tillsbury and Muddy - it's really polite that you asked first!

I suggest a New product section be added.

Alain,

The other moderator feels your post is acceptable so I will go with his judgement and delete my post above. My apologies for any inconvenience.
