First of all, what is a shill?
SHILL
A person engaged in covert advertising. The shill attempts to spread buzz by personally endorsing the product in public forums with the pretense of sincerity, when in fact he is being paid for his services.
Who are you shilling for?
Ignore the n00b, he's just here to shill.

As a VU moderator, I need to follow the rules (actually I have more rules to follow as a mod).
So if a VU Vendor is doing something that I find is distasteful, as long as they are not outright breaking the rules, my hands are tied.
But as a VU MEMBER, I can indeed voice my opinion.
Let me just point out that IMHO there is a certain overseas vendor that whenever they promote a new product in their own thread has an instant following posting how Beautiful, Stylish and Good Looking the product of the moment is.
While a high percentage of (Shill's) actual VU members (?) are either brand new or have been around for a bit but if you look at their history....how Beautiful, Stylish and Good Looking.....................
Sorry to say, the vendor in question seems to think we are all drooling idiots.
Do you really want to purchase from ANY company that uses these tactics?
