Yeah, that is a bit too sneaky since I think the forums often represent a community. Either way, one should not fake an identity this way but I guess money is king.
Are vendors coming on as individuals and plying their wares? Are they that desperate? I'm not on the forums enough to check every thread but I guess it is common enough. If an individual states a good experience (just like a bad experience) that should be fine. If he is connected to a vendor somehow, that is too biased and I agree it should be shut down.
I'm fucking referring to the post above where someone said it happens all the time- where vendors or people directly connected to vendors post in forums while pretending to be individuals and sneakily pimp a non-advertising vendor's product.
Eff off. Just stating an opinion...not preaching.
Actually no, I recommended that Googling is an excellent idea IF someone felt intimidated here since this is not the ONLY place for good knowledge (it certainly is one). I just don't have my lips planted on your behind like some.
It would be better if you crawled under a rock for a while or didn't reply to my posts.
Only you know if you are a minion. You know there are at least a few minions....nothing wrong with that... There are those who know a lot here...minions or not.
I haven't deleted a post or anything, so not backpedaling.

I didn't write it as well as I wanted to. The guy seemed intimidated so I was trying to tell him that he could get answers elsewhere as well, if he felt like he was being jumped on here. Sorry to you if it came off as me directing someone specifically to other forums. I actually Google stuff (I did that today for the newest MT tires) and then read info on a couple forums, before actually posting a question on any forum. I was trying to tell the guy to do that. Since this is your forum, that came off as being disrespectful. Sincere apologies...

LOL!! You make it sound as if you have some kind of right to post on my forum :cheesy:
