Here at BLF, the rules are incredibly lenient toward commercial vendors of flashlight products. If they carefully follow the rules for commercial sellers, they can very easily establish a great business relationship with our huge audience of consumers of flashlight products. Unfortunately, there are still some vendors that choose the asinine method of ignoring the simple rules and posting spam and/or using shill tactics to try and get a foothold here. So I’m creating this thread as a quick reference to shame the vendors that do this.
Please AVOID DISCUSSIONS here, and just post the domain name and description of vendors that you have recently seen spamming threads or using shill tactics. For example:
Please DO NOT post the http:// or www. link to the site, as we don’t want to boost their Google ranking. And as a personal recommendation, I would suggest that you don’t buy from these vendors that show no regard for simple business ethics.
Most importantly, if a post clearly violates the Rules for Commercial Sellers, then please don't hesitate to hit the SPAM button! Then after doing so, please take a moment to take note of the name of the site and post it here. Thanks a lot!
This thread is not meant to discourage legitimate commercial activity on BLF according to the Rules for Commercial Sellers, but rather to promote awareness of the right and wrong ways of doing so.
(If you want to discuss a "Hall of Shame" entry at greater length, please do so here. Thanks.)
