What? So a person can post here but not on another forum? I am not quite sure what the mods admins are thinking, but to me this makes no sense. Can a Mod or admin explain this please?
I'm not a mod but I do know that this thread hasn't been removed because it's in the Vendor forum. If Stan wasn't a vendor this thread would have been removed as well. It would be nice to have merged the information into this thread though or moved it instead of getting rid of it. It provided much better information.
Vendors pay a healthy yearly fee (I believe it's $500) for being a vendor here so I suspect that you can post your reviews here about the razors. I do see your point though as these threads are also available to all site users to read, just not under the razors forum, so why not let that one go if the same information can be here as well? I guess they are trying to keep all of the vendor information in one area as it would be easier to manage that way. If you pay the vendor fee, then you get a spot a vendor forum in which you can do some advertising and new product promotion in. You still don't get to do whatever you want anywhere else in the site but you have some additional privileges there.
At least that's what I took away from the response above.
I don't want to get slammed with advertising but personally I do enjoy reading about new products and hearing reviews on them, even if they may change before they get to me. Especially from vendors here that are supporting the site. Usually these products get some feedback in from the test users and either change for the better or don't change at all. I really haven't seen any new products make a change for the worse after getting some good feedback. Plus, I know that there's a possibility that it could change when reading the review so I do have the option of waiting for some version 2 reviews after it's released.
Personally, I just look for full disclosure in the review. If a product was loaned, gifted or sold at a reduced rate for review then just state that in the review and I can take it into consideration when reading it.
