Back on January 30th I was contacted by "Tru Power Motorsports" to become a sponsor on the MX-3.com Forums.
He claimed he was not willing to pay a (reasonable in my opinion) monthy fee, but he would create a log of all sales he made to the MX-3 community, and pay me a percentage accordingly. As I had never dealt with sponsorship in this manner before, I was a little weary.
In any case, on February 22nd, I agreed to his proposal and let him begin posting. He posted many times in the wrong forums, which we (admins and moderators) had to move to the correct forum. He still continued to post in other forums as a vendor.
On March 8th I was contacted by a Honda Prelude owner from another website that had had a bad deal with him. Since I have been following the threads and have made the decision to ban tru Power Motorsports from being an MX-3.com sponsor, as wella s from posting on this site.
Here are some links to his way of doing business:

My final decision I hope is justified, and if anyone has had any dealigns with him, please post here.
