Blatant Product Placement.

[AuntPG]

Why are these users (probably the same person) being allowed to product place/advertise unhindered ?

Naomi I'm not accusing anyone of being shifty, I'm pointing out a potential Marketing ploy going on AB. IF the Admin are cool with that then that's ok, but I can still have an opinion on it.

[THECORBYLOON]

You are alleging two folk are "probably the same person" so you are treading on dodgy ground and again, I suggest you report any concerns you have and leave it at that.

[AuntPG]

THECORBYLOON of course I've reported it for what good that does. As for 'accusing someone' and being on 'dodgy ground': apart from the obviously theatricals, I would draw to your attention to the fact that users are encouraged to report potential spam and advertising. I may be more aware of the more subtle ways products can be advertised, and indeed these may be sanctioned by the site administrators, who knows.

Isn't that the same person that kept asking Emmie one day what she thought of a certain beer - I did think that was a weird thread

[ducksie]

oops, just seen the link to that beer thread was posted too

// gawd it's like the Truman show!//

nonsensical one-liners ( what wd I now do wivvart dem? I have borderline dependency) - off the point comments

[Peter Pedant]

has anyone had Blood orange gin
and importantly - do you to add orange?

[Peter Pedant]

o god I am always being reported
yes little me - - - moi !
you get used to the endless and off the point carping

[chelle7272]

Lol which one are they supposed to be advertising as they mention many beers!
Why start this thread at all. Report it or ask the posters directly, not nice to create a thread having a go at them!

Evan previously said he had just turned drinking age, so not a surprising conversation...

[Peter Pedant]

start this thread?
because COP is not really thagt interesting

[AuntPG]

chelle7272 . If you don't like the content of a thread, then don't read it. Going on a thread just to complain about it, and advise the poster they should not have posted it, is a bit churlish.

[ladybirder]

pp, no, just soda.

[curlygirlies]

Marketing bots, stealth advertising also known as buzz marketing or undercover marketing. I doubt this is an example though as AB is a pretty small platform for that sort of thing. Probably kids messing about.

Members chatting about their named alcoholic drinks? Looks like nothing new to me:

[Redhelen72]

Oh my goodness - if someone else other than APG had posted this then there would have been agreements left right and centre.
Its posted in Ed blogs - therefore is there any need for some of the comments?

[AuntPG]

Etch that is a totally different type of thread and you know it.

[naomi24]

RH. I would have questioned it whoever posted it. Not nice to publicly cast doubt on other members. If people are suspicious they should quietly contact the Ed.

[Redhelen72]

Of Course Naomi because no one ever casts doubts on other members publicly do they?

[naomi24]

They do, RH… but not with accusations like this.
