Move ALL of Parked's reviews to his subforum.
I find it kind of troubling that Kate's questions went unanswered regarding those forum members to whom he was affiliated.
It casts a little bit of a shadow on certain individuals here (and from Texas), and it's always best to get that cleared up.
For those fuzzy with Texas geography, I'm over 3 hours from him!![]()
Maybe it is time for a "Reseller" and a "Supplier" status?
I raised this same question about supplier reviews a few days ago...
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...esting-area/9359-supplier-identification.html
At that time, Parked was still not identified as a supplier, he is now.
He's acknowledged an affiliation with JantyUSA. Much as I hope his venture suceeds, if I'd known that I probably wouldn't have ordered from him. I have a very short "sh*tlist" of vendors not to order from. Actually it consists of one... JantyUSA. I feel kinda like I was backdoored into ordering from them anyway.
I'm affiliated with one forum member this is his name "ROB26"
Thats it hope that helps sorry i have not been quick enough for your
responses as you know I'm pretty busy around here right now
it's hard to catch up on the forums. But I'm trying my best
Thanks
Parked

Jeff and I just recently purchased a huge 3000 sq foot Warehouse/office space for DietSmokes.com and Jantyusa.com.
I'm a authorized Janty reseller and I do buy all
my products from Janty up front ! So the stock of my janty items are represented in my
inventory system online.
This makes sense since we both have tons of stock and we need a place together so we can help out each other when we need it. We both need each others help sometimes.
These are both separate companies the only thing we really have in common is the office space we have together and our love for
personal vaporisers !
Since the Opening of dietsmoke.com I have borrowed his computer/desk sometimes so if you got a e-mail from janty saying your order has shipped that was through stamps.com. This might have happened to at least 20 of you. It's coming from dietsmokes.com but stamps.com doesn't know the difference that is why you got the e-mail
So there's your explanation
Videos-
No i don't think my videos should come down I gave them a fair shake if a product sucks i will tell you no matter what company it is. I have done this on a few models etc..... My videos are how I started and should stay up i believe this is a part of "Parked" and who I am.
Also 75% of these videos were done before I knew I was getting in the business.
In the future new videos will be in my section I will not post them in that section. They will now be in my own forum
Thanks
Parked
P.S. sorry i have not got back to you earlier I'm slamed packing up a ton of ECF members products![]()
my response:-
hi parked,
yeah i would just like to congratulate you on your site too. i wish you the best of luck!
i would also like to congratulate you on the fantastic marketing strategy that you have slowly built up in order to self promote the products that you are now selling.
you may well be selling great products at a great price, but quite frankly the whole thing sucks.
to strike up a friendship with Mr Janty, build a great looking website, employ staff, purchase a 3000 square foot warehouse, set up the business etc etc etc is not something you casually done overnight. this was premeditated months ago if you ask me.
you say you wont remove your reviews because 75% of them are on products that you dont sell. well that still leaves 25% of your self promoting reviews PLUS i think you will find that 100% of your reviews are breaking the forum rules with regards to suppliers NOT being allowed to post ANYTHING in the reviews section.
2 months ago, someone said to me that you worked for Janty and i told them they was talking rubbish........now, i realise it was at least partly true. plus it certainly explains why YOU said to me that you had "boxes" of the same model e-cigs just "lying around".
i fully realise i will no doubt recieve a massive backlash from the other guys who have posted their support for you and your "new" business.............but you know what, someone has to say it.
but dont get me wrong guys, im 100% confident that it will be a great site, with good products and good service............its just that the way he has gone about it is plain, simple, BOLLOX!
ps........and answer kates question...........3 or 4 times she has asked you to state the forum affiliates.
Parked, why don't you just remove all your reviews and be done with it? Is there a reason you don't want to remove them?
Looking back, I see where ROB26 has always been a cheerleader for Janty products, especially the Dura C. Sounds fishy that he's not identified as being affiliated with a vendor.
Why do you think it's ok for you to use the review board for marketing Parked?
But why is it ok for you to promote products on the review board posing as a consumer?
Saying 'that is who Parked is' means nothing.
To Be Fair ...
And this happened when I took Daniel on as an employee. We deleted any and all posts that reviewed or said anything good about PS.
GEP has the best idea/approach. Its probably best if we move the reviews you did Parked to your own subforum. Would hate to see the useful information completely gone via deletion ....
And Kate, I knew about Parked being a supplier AFTER his reviews ... Not before![]()
man , everyones seems to be affiliated with someone or other on this forum latley.
for what it's worth , i see no harm in leaving parked's reviews up . people here are adults and will see that parked is a supplier now, people don't need their hands to be held and told " look sonny , don't believe that , he's a supplier".lol. c'mon . give our members some credit.
If a review is by a supplier or a affiliated reviewer you gotta take what you see with a pinch of salt
i'm not even sure what a phone is parker ...
just msn me! LOL
