This is in response to this thread- http://www.6thgenaccord.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4315&page=4&pp=10
I really think we should have rules to these things. Most forums who let vendors post freely really go down hill. From my experience with other forums, vendors are either not allowed to post at all, or can only post new products and can give install advice, etc, BUT ONLY WHEN ASKED. Many times they actually have to advertise on the site, ie pay money, that really doesn't matter.
In this thread, the product in question was in no way a review of the part. It was mearly an explaination of his day. The thread quickly turned sour when the vendor stepped in. I feel if i did buy this particular product that i would have to give it a very good review if i did want to post, or get into a debate. I do not blame the vendor, but i don't think it's a positive thing at all.
Vendor posts make the forum a living advertisement. They make it hard for you to see the product from the view of the consumer (the important view
) and are just plain overbearing many times.
We obviously don't have a problem with this in a day to day thing. But why not stop it before it gets bad.
