So something I noticed scrolling through new posts a lot is what I can only describe as questionable vendor activity
let’s take this one as an example
http://vapingunderground.com/threads/en-flowclub-com.517273/
I raise this because how is this thread helpful to anyone reading it?
How helpful is it to other vendors who are actually trying to integrate and do a good job of it in that same area?
We have Authorised and Unauthorised vendors here at VU, both options are completely free to businesses ...the thing is not everyone has their own site and can carry the banner etc to make it as authorised.
and here lies my point ...for the coil builders, those offering services within the community and those vendors who do make good attempts to string a sentence together, being thrown in the mix with the likes of this is quite frankly insulting and marks unlisted vendors as no more than just above spam which somehow feels wrong.
Would it be prudent to have some sort of authorisation process for unlisted vendors? Something like they need to demonstrate they uphold certain values before being allowed to drown out those who are offering genuine services rather than link farming the shit out of VU?
they are hidden for a time until staff can see they meet the values expected to sell on VU?
I know traffic is important for the site but there has to be a cut off point for good traffic right?
