Even if some one was actually legit.. with the best of the best gear ever to be released into the world of BB... we have rules here. Guidelines. We have sponsors who have to earn their place here. They have to be vetted. We are not like other boards. This is a safe place for the most part...

So yes, if I see someone jump on in and their first post is advertising their brand or for a brand and they are not vetted, approved and allowed to be here by upper management, I’m automatically going to assume they are here to take advantage, scam and steal from the brotherhood... therefore I’m not going to treat them like a new member... go look at the introduction area and show me anywhere in the thousands upon thousands of intros where anyone’s advertising a brand they just happen to love... people don’t do that.

Our sponsors put in work to be here. Then once they’re here, they have to commit and put in even more work to get things running and going here... its not easy. It’s a crap ton of effort and work they have to do. On top of their regular lives... it’s a very competitive market to be in. Not everyone has to like each other. But we are like a family regardless. I will fight for everyone of them no matter our differences.

I don’t personally believe your motives aren’t purely for selfish or personal gain. That you’re advertising for some scam brand happens to be accidental... but the hell if I won’t act the fool in order to make the noise, if it means the possibility of saving one of ours from taking a gamble on an unknown, non board scam ugl....

P.S.
yes I did edit your posts in childish form... probably wasn’t necessary and uncalled for... maybe I took it a bit far... but I thought it was funny at the time... I’m not very mature sometimes...
Teach me the fun
