Default Vendors Day at RC Universe? Good or bad idea?

Putting it in its own forum would sort of defeat the purpose for many vendors, since not many folks would look in that forum. I think the point is to let a vendor of trainers post something in the "Beginner" forum, no?

In a perfect world, I think it would be great, but I'm concerned some bad apples would abuse it. Personally, I think a vendor should be able to post on any day, but just not very often.

Here's my idea: Let vendors post whenever and wherever they want, but they have to use a special icon, or put "ADV" in the subject or something. I don't think it would add much load to the servers, and folks who weren't interested could just ignore the posts. It would probably spice up the forums for the rest of us. After a couple of months, we re-visit the policy and see how it's worked out.

The problem with the special day is that a lot of vendors with nothing to say might feel that they had to post, just because everyone else did, and we would be deluged with posts.
