Hi all,
A while back a great guy on this forum gave me a supplier discount number and I purchased a n 07 yellow H3, I was told the number was good for two purchases per year. Yesterday, I purchased another one thinking the number was good but the dealer just called and said I need another number. I am suppoosed to pick it up tomorrow for my wife and need another number quick!! Please help!! Much appreciated!
Thanks
Ben

My wife gets supplier discounts from her company but we have to buy our GM's under her name to use them. Who do you have to work for to get transferable numbers?

I got a smartass email about this... So I must have struck a nerve....
I'm sorry.... I didn't mean to damage your mangina in any way....
I still think it would have been much classier to post a picture....

Now, for a personal opinion, and that is all it is, and if it gets me banned from this forum, that is not a problem. There are two other forums I belong to and try and help out. I left another forum on the Al Gore Internet due to their moderators bashing and banning people without a legitimate reason.
And it appears it happens here.
So, what if a person posts twice and asks for a GM supplier discount without posting a photo. It would be easy to assume he doesn't have a Hummer yet, so there would be no photo to post. That is, unless he or she runs off to a dealer and takes some photos to post. (In fact, I have never posted a photo, so I guess I'm not a classy guy.)
In addition, if a person is trying to get a discount, where is the best place to go if he doesn't work for a supplier, or if he does not know any GM employees? He or she will head to Hummer forums on the Internet and ask. It happens all the time.

easy there killer.... my opinion is my opinion and has nothing to do with being staff....
Second.... Moderators don't ban people here.... Moderators don't ban members on any other forum I have owned or staffed.... that's an admin function....
Third.... he posted in his orginal email that he bought an 07 Yellow H3....

I understand moderating a forum, I have moderated non-auto/truck related forums and I know how much time they can take, and how ignorant some members can be.
However, in this case it does not appear the person was a spammer, or someone who is out to bash the H3 or other members. It was someone asking for help in obtaining a discount on a vehicle.
This is a new age, if I was someone who was considering the purchase of a H3 for the first time, I would go to Internet forums and lurk to learn about the vehicle. (I am a member of the Jeepforum, under a different name, and have been for many years. Lately I have just been lurking to check out the new Jeep JK.) So, I also know about lurking on a forum.
Therefore, people who lurk here and/or other H3 forums, read about the vehicle, then decide to purchase. They go out and order a vehicle, then they suddenly hear about a discount they can obtain; even after the vehicle has been ordered. At that point, they join and ask.
If the person had another angle, something like bashing H3s or just spamming the community, would he or she ask for the discount? Makes no sense to me.
Therefore, I just step in and make a statement. Later, I come back to read the replies out of curiosity, and I read two replies to my message. The message from you, which I accept and have no problem with, since it is your right to address me and make your statements, and even to stand up for a fellow moderator. Not sure, where the “new” forum is you speak of, since I only belong to two other Hummer forums (HummerX and GMHummer).
Even though I agree that there has to be some debating on forums, and that getting in a circle, holding hands and watching queer eye is as repulsive to me as it probably is to you, I still have a big problem with the original message posted by MD, and I have a bigger problem with MDs reply to my message.
Possibly MD has to remember he is a moderator and sets the trend on the forums. If he finds it easy to insult someone with sarcastic terms, or statements like “mangina,” imagine how the other members feel. He also has to be careful about other terms that other members can find extremely insulting, and in my case, a person I do not know, and will never know, calling me “killer,” is about as insulting as it can get. I understand, since he does not know me, that pis*ing me off with the word killer is from pure ignorance.
Therefore, since MD is a moderator, and from my experience, moderators set the tone of a forum, I will just bug out of this forum. My time is worth too much to be on a forum where people are insulted for no good reason, other than one of the moderators is a smart a**.
So, take care, have fun, hope your H3s last forever, but I’ll leaving this forum, for it won’t be long before it ends up like that other forum most of us know about and left due to this type of moderation.

) and some post in jest and sarcasm....which if you would stick around long enough to know people, you would realize that MD is the latter. I am the senior Moderator on staff here...if I thought MD was being a dik I would have been the first to tell him in the moderators room that he should cool it.....but, because I know him and know his style of humor I laughed at his post as I knew it was written in humor and not to bash you. I'm also sure that the majority of people that have read this thread also took his reply the same way I did. Sorry if your feelings got hurt bro, hope you decide to stick around.
