TOPIC: Very Dissapointed at this site right now. Message to Chris

I am honestly a little disappointed right now. As you saw I had posted about a new kratom vendor and it got removed. And I'm sure this topic will get removed as well but I just have to say this. I posted a topic here a few weeks ago about a cheaper and better kratom vendor and I noticed it got removed. Wasn't sure why being how this site was supposed to be about helping people out and keeping it real. So a few hours later I made a post about it. I wrote that I have always been down with this site since day one and I am NOT trying to advertise anything. I'm just trying to help some guys who might not be able to afford hippo's kratom. I have always admired you for keeping it real and honest and when my post got deleted, I asked the question as to why it got deleted? I know that hippo is your business and you are trying to advertise that on here. I understand that. But as the same time this site has always been about keeping it real and honest. Not some phony BS like other sites. One of the Admins replied back saying "he's asked around and they never saw my original post. I must not have sent it through properly. They said they have no problem with me posting about a new vendor if it can help a few guys as long as you are not trying to promote another vendor and profit off it you are good. Nothing shady going on here" So I wrote back and said I apologize for accusing chris of being shady , etc, etc. and I said I will repost my original message and they said that was cool. I just got some time today so I figured I would post what I originally wanted to say since the Admin said it was cool and then you go ahead and delete my message and accuse me of "advertising" a new vendor. And say "this is the second time you randomly found the same new vendor, please stop advertising" etc. Basically accusing me of being some spam artist or some shit. I am not trying to profit or promote anything. I'm just trying to make some guys life a little easier. And I understand you gotta make your money but It just seems a little shady to me and instead of keeping it real and trying to help people out. It's whatever though. I'm probably gonna get banned for posting this now.

You're not going to get banned. Bro, I tell people on here from Canada occasionally to get Madam Kratom if they are tight on funds. It is a great domestic supplier with decent quality. My posts have never been deleted as I'm not advertising I am literally just giving advice to other dudes. I'm sure whatever happened to you is a misunderstanding and when people see a relatively low post count they start to assume you don't have as much credibility as other guys who post their asses off. I have no idea if you were advertising or not but maybe to Chris it looked like that was your goal, he's just trying to keep the site clean of bullshit.

You say the other vendor is "better". Have you tried their Kratom, or are you saying it's better because it's cheaper?

Spacebar, bro lol

It's odd to me that you took the time to write two separate long messages recommending KwikKratom and swear its not to "promote" them.

Maybe im wrong???

but 2 other members reported it as spam.

Thats the only reason I saw it in the first place.

'keeping it real' has nothing to do with allowing people to advertise whichever PUA, kratom sources, dietary supplement, etc. etc. that is how you end up with a public spam farm

if its mistake, I truly apologize, but can you see where I'm coming from?

It's pretty sketch dude.

seeing as you've made a grand total of 5 posts over the course of basically a whole year
(all of them, save one, are related to to this situation)

and that the vendor is actually right next to you --- that's makes it pretty reasonable for other's to assume you have a connection with them, i.e. you're motivated to "advertise" them

Notice how he hasn't answered my simple question: Have you tried their Kratom?

I think he has. And That's fine too.

I don't (nor encourage you guys) to go on RSD and recommend (aka promote) GLL under the guise of 'keeping it real'. It's spam, a more low-key version of spam.

We don't have a forum constitution up yet and that's my fault.

If you were genuinely trying to help guys by recommending another Kratom source other than the one the provides money to support this forum and pay for the server - than thank you, I must respectfully remove it however.

New threads created with the purpose of driving traffic elsewhere is considered spam on any forum

if you or I were to post that same thread on any other sponsored Kratom forum and it will be removed with no explanation,

please understand where I'm coming from and please don't take it personally.

At the end of the day people have to respect happy hippo helps pay to keep awesome stuff like the aa program free. People need to respect its a capitalist society and over exuberant promotion of a rival business is a slap in the face to someone who has given out a lot of free information that is awesome.

This dude either owns or works for that kratom company he mentioned.

Great point. I see both sides (Assuming the OP was honestly recommending an alternative to HH and isn't schilling). But at the end of the day, you're right. GLL provides tons of awesome (free) information and has built GLL from the ground up. He deserves whatever commissions he receives off of the products he recommends. When someone else comes on his forum and recommends a competitors product, it wreaks of disrespect for all that he has accomplished.

I agree with everyone else.
