That seems odd

So we can't help a newbie out and suggest a great kit that would work for them if it's SI's product? A lot of my posts for newbies is replying to their requests for suggestions on starter kits. Of course I send them to SI as they have great products.
Is it because you're hosting the contest and they they see it as bribery or something? Even the contest rules state "YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MENTION SMOKELESSIMAGE OR OUR PRODUCTS. " I just do it because I truly believe in the product and always suggest it for new people.
Even with Oldsoldiers post here about appreciating you having this contest
throws off the new ruling. I guess there are some things we don't know about behind closed doors to prevent us from referring to SI here.
