Hi
Thanks for your concerrns about some user advertising their products on this site. We do not allow any advertising by the users as our only aim is to expose or evaluate the claims being made by these advertisers. Our interest is same as yours we want to find out about the remedies which work. During the moderation process we continually delete these posts and /or ban those users found blatently advertising their products.
If someone blatelntly adviertises through the Posts then as as forum members we have two options.
1. Report as abuse - Please click on this button and give a reason ( such as 'user is advertising') and then the post will be promptly deleted and the user would be permanently banned if the post is being made purely for advertising reasons.
2. Sometimes we leave an advertising post, hoping that we would get some forum members who would have tried these advertised products and get forum members feedback on that product - positive or negative.
There is nothing more worse for an advertiser, if they make false claims for their products through a post and then few other users post their negative reviews. This is better than deleting their posts.
Regards
