@t_ramey The CPT thread, when I joined it had been in damage control for some time after it was found that the company was in financial stress. There was no advertising because there were no products available. In fact the owner was much vilified over it that misdemeanours of his past from a decade ago were posted and he was viciously attacked by some via anonymous posters.
You may be aware, or not, that threads advertising Tekton speakers were pulled very quickly. in fact there were 3 threads deleted on the same subject. And the CPT threads got pulled as well.
If I were you, I advise you to compare apples with apples. TC is a commercial product that IS using this thread to spread the word. There are so many posts in the thread that the promotion is subliminal.
As I said in my last post, I am all for discussion on all matters within the forum. But I take exception that some manufacturers/marketers are pulled and some are allowed to continue to advertise, hidden in the guise of product discussion. Why isn't there a separate web page for the product?
Because, like Tupperware, the product relies on word of mouth, or in this case, post by post.
As I also stated in my previous post, I am neither for against the product. There are only empirical statements available on its benefit so I remain uninterested.
But to those posters telling me to go away a do something else, to wit Tommylion 'Advertisements are intrusive and generally not easy to avoid. This thread is NOT intrusive (Just the opposite, you actually have to navigate to it, and open it, in order to read it.), and is EASILY avoided by those who are offended by it in any way. The real problem is that some think it should not be allowed to exist, merely because it offends them."
The only way a person finds out about a product, a review or comment is by reading each thread and post. If my appraisal polarises some readers because it offends the norm, need to a big drink of reality. I am entitled to my opinion as much as the rest of you.
There will always be like posts and the questioners. Or is this only a likes club?
I thought redneck discrimination had been cast to the annuls of history. it would seem that some of you have not caught up with the modern times.
I am sorry if what I say disturbs some of you, and creates ripples in a cosy pond. And I am vilified by casting a stone into the water. What next? Am I to be crucified? Hung drawn and quartered? Expelled to the naughty room?
I thought free speech and guns are what Americans valued and held dear to your hearts. At least we banned the guns.
