AskBRS FB locking comments.

Happens on reef2reef too. Was on the vendor forums a few days ago and someone bashed cornbred. (Called him the worst and detailed the experience). Although a very healthy and civil discussion, reef2reef shut it down in the name of their sponsor/ vendor. No site is going to allow their money makes to get bashed, don’t care who it is.

Oh yea, R2R is just as bad, if not worse, in regards to removing posts….

Lol nope, you’re in THEIR FORUM, so only positive things can be said. It’s the same with the EcoTech FB group… the second you say you have an issue or problem it’s blocked or deleted. They only want people to see when someone is saying good things about them

This is actually why I stop getting purchase advice from these sponsored threads. I don’t trust them anymore. I don’t have any real respect for reviews either because we know they are moderated. Do we really think a company like BRS is going to push the lower profit margin pieces..I don’t think so. (Don’t get me wrong, BRS has done some great things for the hobby, but they are also responsible for a lot of the price inflation as well)

So they closed that thread on behalf of a vendor that is not a sponsor.

Why would reef2reef shut it down on behalf of cornbred when he is not a sponsor?

DARN IT. I got drug into yet another stupid semantic debate on the internet. When will I learn. You try to contribute to the conversation and someone has to parse your contribution and find a word that they can troll you on. When will i learn. STUPID STUPID STUPID.

Just asking why reef2reef would shut down a thread for someone who does not sponsor their site.

At least BRS addressed this and hopefully it doesn't happen again. Also I was told by the admin the group isnt a place to review products, but right after that there was a post about Radion's with people leaving good reviews and the comments were left open. Even if they dont want to admit it they were obviously trying to stop bad comments about WWC.
