"///MFest" sig banners?
"///MFest" sig banners?
i've been seeing this in quite a few individuals' signatures, so i'd like some clarification on this.
i understand that this is a website catered towards lexus owners and enthusiasts, and that we won't "discriminate" against non-lexus owners, but is it right/fair for certain members to put "///MFest" sig banners in their signatures?

I've got no problems with it as long as it meets our forum signature rules:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/faq...faq_signatures
Having said that probably won't generate a lot of interest on CL. I've got an M in my garage (my wife's track car) and might click, but likely less than 2% here overlap.

Signature Banners, Avatars and URL links
Club Lexus has some reasonable guidelines regarding signature size and content, to keep CLUB LEXUS a forum that's easy for our members to read... no giant signature banners and text that takes up half the screen on each post, friendly for dial-up, no unwanted advertising and 100% work-safe. Repeated abuse of the forum signature rules will cause the member to forfeit the privilege to have a signature on our forum or suspension of their access.

2) Image file sizes no larger than a combined 50K from a reliable host, preferably the Club Lexus gallery
3) A maximum of 8 lines of normal sized (default) text, including blank lines. Larger than "size 1" text is not allowed, enforced at moderator team's discretion.
4) No for sale, want-to-buy or advertising text (including URLs, business titles, or business contact info) in signatures unless you are an approved Club Lexus sponsor
5) No linking to or advertising for other forums that overlap Club Lexus subject areas
6) No intentionally inflammatory or politically charged signature text or avatars allowed. This specific rule will be applied at the moderator team's discretion.
7) Only work safe, PG-rated images are allowed in signatures, no profanity is allowed
8) Macromedia Flash signatures are prohibited
9) Referencing other members or protests against moderator actions in your signature is not allowed
Avatar file size is restricted by the forum software to 75x75. Avatar images must be follow the work safe and no-advertising image rules outlined above.
Home page URLs contained in the member profile cannot contain links to non-work safe sites or to non-approved vendor websites.

Repeated issues will cause the privilege of having a signature, avatar and/or website URL to be removed as options for that member.

don't get me wrong, dave. i have nothing against ///MFest or BMW's; i'm a fan of M-powered cars myself, my brother, sister-in-law, and sister all drive BMW's, and i've got a 2009 X5 in the garage next to me.
i was just wondering about something that might raise a few eyebrows - if people actually notice.
thanks, dave. much appreciated.

I give Mfest a thumbs up.. They came to support everyone and be apart of the car frenzy we all have. I happen to be there when all the Crap was said to them, and they were there to enjoy all the fun we all had. We all have a common interest and many of us have more then one car. Thanks Mfest for your support and nice cars..

Nothing wrong with it. We have moderators that don't have a Lexus and have other brands in their avatar.
This is a Lexus enthusiast site and we try to promote diversity and make anyone feel welcome. As Dave stated once the guidelines are followed, its fine.
To be honest I haven't noticed it. I only noticed it in the So. Cali forum.
Happy Posting

there is more than one way to share a common "car frenzy", but i was curious about the use of the sig banner as subversive advertising. however, if it is in accordance with the forum guidelines, then it is what it is.
and to address the "crap was said to them" claim: as i was not personally involved in that incident, i can not comment on the validity of your claim. however, do note this: given event rules, if they were regular, non-registered attendees, they would have been treated so. however, as the MFest group represented Heavy Hitters - a sponsor of The Pursuit, they were given equally proper and fair treatment as sponsor cars.
again, thank you for the clarification, dave.

I'm a BMW/Lexus owner myself and am a sponsor on the MFest forums. I see people supporting CL on Mfest forums and several CL cars even mad it out to MFest 3 back in April. I was part of the MFest 3 staff and did not hear 1 single complaint of the "Lexi" at the event. I'm not biased, right in the middle. Don't see any issues as we are all enthusiasts and drive multiple vehicles of different makes.
