Hi. The site has recently been inundated by shilling for this company. Your first four posts are about these brushes, and they have been removed. Enjoy the site, but please refrain from reviewing these products until you are an established member.
Thanks

Just because I posted a favorable review of the 2201 brush as my first post and participated in an existing thread about the brush I am now a shill for Fido?! What the hell? I feel like posting as much 2201 threads over there while I can before they ban me just to spite the little fuckers. Just so they know what actual shilling is like. :evil:
Yes, I couldn't agree more Yellow Jim, it's all getting a bit tiresome and boring now!!Yellow Jim said:That sort of attitude just smacks of pettiness. The success of Fido's brush despite the best efforts of some of the mods must really rankle them.
There's no point trying to get into a war with them though, it's their site and there would only be one winner. I think we should all just enjoy the atmosphere over here and focus less on what's happening on B&B.

Is it serving any purpose other than a 'group hug' for people who are bitter at being banned from there?
It is just that B&B is infuriating.
It is by far the best and biggest traditional shaving resource on the internet. Of that there is no doubt.
However it seems imho to run an agenda add odds with the best interests of its members.
As for quirky/anal moderation, that is the norm for every forum on the internet, current company not excluded.
I run a successful forum in a different field and it is often difficult to know what the best interests of the members is. Some minorities make a lot of noise and don't represent the consensus.

I'm not sure Antdad can help youspandexcodpiece said:andyjreid said:We could always request this thread to be locked down?
Yes, I guess that might be a good idea now andy! I have just had a final say in a later post regarding forum activity in general, so now might be a good idea. What do you do, PM Boab or Antdad ?
