mushrat Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I have been seeing an increase in the number of members who are releasing inside information about a Vendor's new product to the forums as "Vendor X has/will have this." I don't mind if you find something cool or a good deal on a site and post about that, but if a vendor does not bother to maintain an account here because they don't think it's worth the time, then I am sure as HELL not going to let them use established members to post their PR announcements for them. TheHookah.com is now a Banned vendor for this kind of activity. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1v3th3ad Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I need rules clarified for me... Say someone sees a picture of my hookah and asks "where'd you get that KM stem, I haven't seen that anywhere?", can I tell them I got it at Vendor X? I don't much care for the site, but it is where I got my stem and the topic might come up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 You have to get rid of the stem now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rani Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Yeah, well, prostitution occurs in all forms I guess. Why would anyone want to be a shill anyway? This is just one reason why as I've stated clearly before I don't get involved with vendors - ever. I'm willing as a customer to promote good service given and point out good places to buy, but getting involved with them or in their business personally so that it becomes expected of me to be a part of whatever they've got going on, no way, no how.

Sonthert Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hey, I hear Tangiers is releasing some new flavors soon. I talked to Eric and he said they would be out soon. He sent me some advanced samples and they are fantastic. Wait a minute...which account am I posting with? Shit. Better disregard that last message. As vendors have started trying to make closer ties with their customers, this seems more of a reality than it was in the past. Manufacturers/importers communicate with retailers, retailers tell certain customers. Those customers come on here and post. When all is said and done, if its done for money or free samples, its not appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venger Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Like Stuie has said the reason he posts the source whether it be a purchase a gift or samples.He is very up front about it. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 back to the question somewhere in there. you want to pm the person that you got it from a banned vendor, fine, But do not post the name. and "banned vendor" is NOT an acceptable substitution.
