Canreef doesn't have any sponsors that are product manufacturers. And if we did, they would be subject to fair and honest reviews by our members. If it's good, it's good. If it's crap, then it's crap.
The only restrictions in place are reviews of retail vendors themselves, and ad-lib advertising for non sponsoring retailers.
We did, at one time, protect a paying sponsor from negative reviews, to the detriment of the Canreef membership. Many people lost money dealing with that vendor before their demise.
A lesson learned from that experience had us revoke sponsorship from a vendor that was receiving too many complaints.
So while we tend to ask that Canreef members support the sponsors that promote us, we do not cover up poor products or services because we have received advertising dollars.
