Hi all,
Sorry if this is just me having a rant But I am really getting fed up with various Chinese laser companies highjacking interesting threads with direct sales adverts. The worst case of this is when a newcomer is asking for help and advice about buying a projector, they want advice, not a heavy sell. This is made worse as they maybe don't even understand what they really want, need or should be buying. These heavy handed sales people just jump right in highjack the thread and bully the newcomer into a very unpleasant place. What is wrong with just sending the person asking a simple PM offering your product? Certain companies, yes this is YOU Able Laser, are completely ignoring the Buy and Sell section and seem to highjack everything.
My question is what should we do about this? Just a discussion as to the best way to handle this rude source of annoyance and total lack of respect for what we all stand for here. We are all here for advice and pursuit of a hobby or profession, not as some cheap marketplace advertising space for companies with no regard for respect of people choices. Personally I think it should be three strikes and you're out, but that is just my 10c.
On the other hand there are great suppliers who help and comment, whilst still promoting their products and services. But its not just the Chinese, look at RGB Laserverkoop, only comments are look we have this, look we have that etc etc etc..
Sorry for the intrusion and feel free to ask me to delete the thread if I am the only one now finding this really annoying and unfair to our newcomers.
Cheers
Steve
