Canreef policy issues?

[christyf5]

I don't think the post was made to promote the competition, its more likely that when clicking on the link to the thread, the information on where the thread was located was missed. It was probably thought to be in the main forum. Sometimes in the excitement of actually having the answer to a question, this information can get missed. I know I've done it a few times but caught myself. Its just unfortunate this time.

I agree with Doug on this point, venders pay, we do not. I believe that they should have the right to moderate as they see fit, especially when it deals with the competition. (Now whether this was the case or not, I cannot say)

anyways......I digress.......to play the other side.......I dont think vendors should have the ability to change the words in a post.......it should be an all or nothing approach......either the post is deleted all together, or it is left alone...........JMO

i agree totally its their forum so they should have editing power but i also believe all or nothing, not rewording

Would the vendors pay XXX to be here if we (the people..lol) weren't?
It's kind of a catch 22.

I think Canreef normally does an excellent job of keeping a middle ground, one event like this in all this sites years is no cause for concern.

I would hate to think though, that being a canreef member meant I could only use certain products from certain vendors if I wanted to share and communicate about them with this community.
