mushrat Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Vendors have beenm warned that PM spamming will not be allowed. Vendors may not contact people about their wares simple because that person expressed a general interest in buying a hookah or accessory in a thread.

Calcartman Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Thats quite a shame. I really do like mike over at H-L, we just made an order this week (should be here today!); but PM advertising is kinda annoying. Im hoping its just a misunderstanding, but it wont stop me from using em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camelflage Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 i guess everyone is trying to get their vacations in before the summer is over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glottis2 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I feel like these daily updates on who is in time out and who is a bad poster and whatnot are sort of unnecessary and contrary to the whole "because I said so" system of moderating (which I actually agree with), because the threads act like an encouragement for people to discuss and disapprove of whatever action has been taken. But do whatever you want, it's your forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 look, guys, i like HL too...this isn't personal. It's just the way i works. Companies aren't supposed to contact people directly...they have their company threads and people can check them out that way. That's why we set up official threads for vendors. We've had to do this before and there has usually been no detremental effect in the long run. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I get the point of it all, make an example of bad behavior, etc, but it just threw me off the first time I saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Ah fuck, i just posted how HL was good as an example in a different thread.... just for the record HL has always been fantastic to me never once tryin to encourage a sale only when i asked directly if they could get me a special hookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Safesearch: I understand your feelings, as I'd posted a while back, It takes soemone forewarding one of the PM messeges before we can do soemthing about a vendor using that tactic. We'd just never actually gotten soemone bringing a copy to our attention before. When we know about a problem, we can deal with a problem.They shoudl be back shortly and we can all get on with it.
