I sent out a note to a few hundred members that were Yamaha forum participants. .
my name begins with a S.
Seriously.,
This is all about that bull crap thread about Skinz and Poop?
Let it go man....
As for the Moderators on SnoWest.
They are given the option of paying for their membership or receiving it free of charge in exchange for the tine and effort they put in. Its about 50-50 for who pays their own way and who doesn't. Thus far, since 2009, NO manufacturer has ever approached me about going after the moderators with special deals or incentives. NONE of them have ever reached out to us and said Hey, Have we got a deal for you!!
So far as I know we do not have a single factory "Sponsored" moderator on SnoWest. Everyone of us pays out of our own pocket for all the gear we buy and use, including myself. All of the Reviews and Installations I have done have been at my own expense.
One exception is the upcoming review of the BCA Link Radios. Much to my surprise when I ordered 2 of them, they sent them to me free of charge, but with a 60 day required return. If I fail to return them in 60 days, then I have to buy them. Assuming they perform as I have heard from several other SnoWest members, I have every intention of buying several of them.
Now, don't get me wrong, if Polaris or Ski-Do or Cat approached us and offered their sleds at 50% off, I am SURE they would win over some converts in short order, but SADLY I see NO signs of that happening
I can see where you may think its a conflict. However, you have to realize most moderators are mods due to the fact they are heavily entrenched in the hobby. This only makes sense if someone is a serious sledder they will ultimately or possibly have a product or will absolutely be using products that are new to market.
So really, I have to say ..."why not?"
I know I bite my keyboard more than just a few times around here and I am sure other mods do to. So in fact a premium user has more freedom of speech!!
hi syphilis
No! Not going to let it go because you proclaimed to know both sides of the story! I can tell you for a fact that you do NOT know both sides of the story, because I know the OP much better than you do! And I know you did not contact the OP, but choose to take sides!
If you could not fix the issue, you would have been better off butting out! So the way I see it, that is an unfair and biased influence!
You should be posting in the butthurt thread not wasting our time with a new thread about moderators advertising.
Mods. Why is this garbage in the general snowmobiling section. This is not about snowmobiling, this is about being butt hurt about advertising.

As I told you before, if this thread bothers you so much STEP OUT!
Should moderators advertise new products? Just don"t seem right.
I want my 5 minutes back.
