Endoresements based on Advertising?

Just curious why some seed banks seem to get heavily endorsed by RIU despite having serious issues, (I.e Elite Genetics), while others have been banned from here or talked down upon when I see no complaints.

Attitude Seeds were banned from RIU because "They dont like to pay for advertising" I didnt know that RIU collecting money from Seed Banks was cause of endorsement or lack there of.

Also, a recent post to stear clear of Pot Pimp. yet Ive never seen an unhappy customer from there....although there was some ugly posts here the other day which seems to be the "real reason".

Wasnt RIU basically Elites home, and didnt that 13 year old kid that got him busted come from RUI...and wasnt he a known hack? How do you stand behind sending business to somebody shipping stolen genetics(from Mota, from OGRaskal and more) illegal from state to state.

Oh, I guess he paid his advertising money??

Take everything you read by RUI with a grain of salt.

Does seem to be the case. I even mention the fact that I was happy with the service I received at "the Pimp" and my post is deleted. WTF
Gosh lets talk about all the great bargains Rollies site has. Not. Buy better quality anywhere, for less money.
Wonder how long before this will be deleted as well.

I see one post of rolli's at the start of that seed thread about attitude and since then he hasn't really mentioned them, i don't see him deleting people singing their praises or dr chronic or anyone else for that matter.

So let me get this straight, you posted positive feedback on a seedbank in the seedbank review forum and it was deleted?

Inquiring minds want to know.......WTF is going on?

All threads with potpimp have been removed because they all end up the same way, lots and lots of spammed advertising, This one is going the same way.

There have been some cases of people being unhappy and some cases of people being happy, but because of the way the site has been spammed, which i've spent most the day the clearing up, its hard to tell a positive review from a negative review, which is why all pimpot threads have been removed and a warning against this site put in place.

About Potpimp

I find it sad that a place that goes out of it's way to assist actual med patients in getting low cost or even free genetics be targeted as a scam.
I have benefited from the generousity of many there.
I would buy there even if I had no affiliation, as it is impossible to beat the pricing with free shipping.
Just my 2 cents, Rollie.
Btw in no way do I believe in any product tauted by a handful of first posters in the middle of the night. Maybe you should ban discussion of AN,FF,Botainicare...

For the Pimps that come over here, just enjoy the site and be cool..RIU has an invaluable, virtually irreplaceable database of info that I have used since I first started growing.

No use seeding animosity between two sites that are both trying to get beans and grow knowledge out to people so they can grow their own smoke.

These threads do often go bad, and we should try and be respectful to each other and remember why we're all here.:weed:


:peace:

attitude was banned,when?they have kids spamming thier stuff all day long.as for potpimp dont know who he is,but as for elite,tga useing this as thier public domain,ya its was like that.so potpimp should as well.attitude doesnt pay for adverts,tga doesnt,attitude doesnt,so im not into potpimp being banned.but i never really saw any one get banned for no reason,maybe potpimp needs to get hobbes listing his strains every day,do it that way.

after reading the sticky about potpimp not giving buyers a viable way to retrieve lost funds and the methods used to entice customers,i do understand now.whether attitude or tga spam here is one thing,i do know they have reputable customer service.
