Gitfo Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 If they sponsor the site or something thru those means i assume it is ok but other wise why do you guys have to post so many adds continually. Seems very "spammy"
Rocket-Boy Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 It doesnt look so much like spam to me, they only seem to do it once the old ad expires.Sure for an few hours they have a bunch of ads but it clears again after that.
Vangar Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 I agree, but I think they do pay for sponsorship so then it's all good, if a bit irksome.

fanievb Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 they are not the only company doing it. i have complained about it before but I suppose maybe they sponsor the site or something https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/50137-spotbrand-steel-ss-frame-with-gates-carbon-drive/https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/52396-gates-carbon-drive-center-track-components/https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/36895-spotbrand-steel-ss-frame-with-gates-carbon-drive/https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/57585-gates-carbon-drive-center-track-components/ edit nog een: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/102953-nuun-energy/
fanievb Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Stuff to sell + classifieds = normal? not if you regurgitate the same ads every 20 days
Skylark Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 not if you regurgitate the same ads every 20 daysThats what happens every time the ad expires and its relisted, I suppose if the details and price has remained the same the relisted ad will also remain the same as before?
Patchelicious Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Maybe people are buying their things.... Surely if it was not working they would stop sooner or later. If not oh well, they are persistent. Either way, not really a big deal if it only happens every 20 days, is it? I have way bigger issues at home every 20 days!

Eddy Gordo Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I think the classifieds should stay free for individuals, but when a business gets involved, they should pay
TK-Sp3cialiSt Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 There are a couple of individuals that repost their items every few days, annoying when most follow the rules to the letter
corriekuilder Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 There is a dedicated page for sponsors, if they do sponsor, i feel they should go there, because it becomes annoying. maybe the mods should take a look into this.....
Falco Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Leave them alone. Their prices are good, they are offering products that cyclists use, and guess what? This is a cycling forum. We need more advertisers like them.
Karooryder Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 According to the Urban Dictionary: "Spaming" (def:) e.g. skill: When you cheeply or acutally cheat on any game to quickly raise stats or skills. I was playing Skyrim the other day and I got Faendal to follow me, so I was Skill Spaming and got my archery up to 50 Seems to me that they are doing what many Strava warriors do on a regular basis - so it must be above board .
shaper Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 There are others who spam worse than autostyle, they readvertise their good almost daily... there is one in particular who has been trying to sell and XT crank for months.. and he seems to think that readvertising it continually will get it sold, but does not realise that his price is too high and seems reluctant to drop it. That is worse than what autostyle do... yes they might place a lot of ads one after another... so what.
