There has been requests recently from accounts that look like sale reps for products related machining and “might” be of usefulness to our members.

Given the current scope of our group is to share our experience building and improvement to the OpenBuild OX, I have not approved these join requests.

But I would like your opinion on this matter.

I beleive they should be allowed because they might also be of assistance, but controlled, if they just spam, them kick them out.

If you look at some other groups, like CNC Machining and Manufacturing, https://plus.google.com/communities/107707736466482447026 all it seems to be is ads with very little useful content.

I have yet to see a sales rep post that did not have bloated prices. And Never have I seen any useful post that did not have a price tag on it.

Yeah, just looked at some other groups and changed my vote!

I would suggest that they could create their own platforms. Personally, between email and Google +, I am already overloaded! (And yes, I do have a FB account, but rarely do I go there…)

Spam sucks, they tend to try to sell lots of things on many of the other open groups.

I gotta go with a no on this one. I own a store and this community (Thank you Dat for moderating) and there is not one post on G+ that has me advertising to the community.
