Ban drlongjon?

[Ringo*]

I'm relatively new here and love the community. I've just noticed this guy's comments in a bunch of threads and they all seem like irrelevant comments intended to boost sales for Red Dragons (perhaps he's a supplier). I find it disrespectful to the community. If I'm wrong, I apologize (but if I am, you need to seriously consider adding some variety to your limited repertoire of contributions!) Some of his recent posts (ALL different threads):

After 17 years I am smoke free and its all because of the Red Dragon ecig. I can't believe it really works and now I do not even crave regular cigarettes. WOO-HOOO!!!!!


You should try Red Dragons, you wont have to worry about the eliquid problems. If you buy them, use my code for 5% off: 285-279-268


I hear you on the Paypal rant, luckily I did not have to use Paypal since I bought a Red Dragon. It works great and actually looks real. If you buy them, use my code for 5% off: 285-279-268


Try Red Dragons if you get a chance, you dont have to worry about eliquid, If you buy them, use my code for 5% off: 285-279-268


I agree, the Red Dragon I bought has changed my life, my lungs are beginning to work again .
If you want 5% off Red Dragons, use my code on checkout: 285-279-268

Pain in the ... Spammer; that's for sure, hopefully unless Dr LongJon would like to stick to one post and do a full review, he'll be long gone

Ringo, this poster seems like a trader to me also.

One thing you can do is to report the user or posts to the mods (there's a report post red triangle button at the bottom left of each post). Something else you can do if you think something dodgy is going on is to mention it on this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ng-area/3750-members-look-out-black-list.html.

I have given at least 5-6 posts where I recommend the company I got my starter from when people ask about where to get stuff, or who has stock. Maybe this person is just all about those ecigs. I really like the company I ordered from so I mentioned them when I could. I am not ranting about them though. This guy could be over enthusiastic or maybe a spammer.

 

[Kate]

You can usually tell if a recommendation is in context and genuine Dave. There's nothing wrong with consumers saying what they think when appropriate but spammers and con artists usually go off topic and can't wait to write themselves good reviews.

 

[Ringo*]

Let me suggest that you check out his profile and find his posts. The context for his enthusiasm simply is not there. It's one thing to support a seller or product, but I think this is obviously beyond objective excitement and much more likely in the realm of self-interest.

Ok, now that I took your suggestion and looked up posts, I completely see what you are saying. Does that happen alot here? I have only been a member for 3 days, but my wife and I decided on where to get our starter gear from the advice and posts here.

 

[Ringo*]

Good question- I'm also just a couple weeks old (counting in e-cigarette-forum time). But I hate this kind of stuff on the other forums I frequent...

 

[Kate]

It doesn't happen a lot Dave because we watch out for cheats.

Red Dragon now join Crown7, Loong Totem and Smokelessdelite in unethical conduct - posing as satisfied customers to promote sales.

Booo, I think we even looked at Red Dragons too because of some posts. I ordered from 3 companies so far, e-smokeytreats for my starter kit, just ordered 2 atomizers from pure smoker, and ordered a bunch of VG from Johnsons's Creek. So far, my e-smokey experience has been great although one of the atomizers died in 3 days. Waiting to hear back from him as I know he has a warantee. Puresmoker emailed me back in under 2 hours with an answer to my question, and I am waiting on Johnson's Creek. I think if peopel like the red dragon guy keep posting stuff, people like my wife and I would see all the posts when we were originally researching e-cigs and maybe decide to go with them. It's stinky.

 

[Kate]

It is stinky but our mods usually remove the bad stuff when we show that someone is cheating so it's only around for a day or so usually.

The companies you mention buying from are all thought to be genuine and have good customer care.

The best thing you can keep in mind when reading reviews is that older members are usually less enamoured by the newness of the product and more objective. We get a lot of new members with one device telling us that it's the best thing since sliced bread.

And don't forget ... everything on the internet is 100% true

 

[CandyGirl]

bye bye red dragon

(rapists, pedophiles, raw sewage, spammers, in that order)

[K-Sound Krew]

I remember a few months back there was a guy who worked for an ecig company,
everyone of his posts was like
the evo is rad check it out

It didn't matter what thread it was, it was evo this evo that
But the thing was he could never admit that he worked for the company

I'm so glad that guy is gone now
I think his name was something like igetcha or something

If a company or a "person of interest" talking about a company, brand, etc. is trying to skirt the rules on a forum then you can be sure that they are skirting the rules in their business practice also. Bad character doesn't just show up in forum postings!!!
