Of course they do otherwise Matt would still be here
I think they tolerate the odd complaint or two provided it's not posted by anyone who has any influence over sales.
Matt was on here for a long time and was
the man for DIY he even had his own site set up to help start ups with little money. Jeff Brimble is another master of DIY. Many new cleaners look up to these guys when they start out and tend to stick with them. Jeff was using home made poles up to eighty feet years ago for less than a third of the price of suppliers poles.
These chaps are a thorn in the side of the big suppliers but little could be done. However, Matt overstepped the mark by actually criticising Ionics (due to being drawn into arguments with an Ionics poster who seems to have vanished).
Jason then had his chance and a good reason to get rid of Matt and ban him from the site. The fact that Matt has set up another site is even more reason to keep him away from here.
Alex was another who by his own honesty and genuine friendly nature cleverly used the site to push his sales along and must have been a nightmare for the mods - he had to go sooner or later or pay to advertise. So along came 'Ewan' Designed to specifically attack gardiners products.
He's gone now along with all his posts - how strange is that?
Other suppliers have tried to use the site to sell their products - look at Glyn from Omnipole - he tried hard but had the skills of a football hooligan when it came to salesmanship. He actually seemed to work backwards and effectively put people off dealing with him.
My guess is that unless you pay the large fee to advertise then you will be banned sooner or later.
At the end of the day it's all about money.
It's been a good three years on here for me but it aint what it used to be.
