Commercial - Planted Spammers

:nono:

In the last few months, I have discovered 2 PLANTED Commercial Spammers and denied registration to one other.

Their threads are BIASED and dishonest reviews and are NOT welcomed here.

There are companies that will give individuals FREE goods and then in return they ask the recipients to promote their products on websites like ours. This is sneaky and NOT ethical and it misleads our membership.

I do my best to invite companies into this exclusive "F6B Clubhouse" and discuss their products directly.

There have been a few companies that have declined the invite and made the statement that they didn't need our membership. The funny part is that these same companies shortly thereafter PLANTED spammers within our website and we eventually deleted their accounts.

If you see that a thread has been temporarily removed, it's because we are investigating to see that it is not Commercial SPAM. If it is determined to be legitimate, the thread will be brought back to the board.
You can send me a PM if you have questions. Thank You for understanding :cheers:



From another very popular motorcycle forum (and we have decided to also adopt into our Forum)......
