Sure, I understand and I appreciate your position and the amount of work you put in here trying to make sure the rules are upheld

. Just sort of frustrating not being able to advise because I also happen to retail some of the items (advising for the last 20 years, retailing only since Sept).
An example would be a person asking for recommendations for bits to build a home server. I know that Intel do a great mini server motherboard, takes ECC ram and an i3 or E3 Xeon CPU etc which would be perfect for the use but I also believe it is not stocked in SLS being that it is newly released and a niche product. I can order it from the local distributors but I cannot advise where to buy in Singapore as, to my knowledge, I am the only place

.
VR-Zone ran a fairly good system where they had business user accounts until recently. People can pay a nominal subscription in order to gain the rights suggest their own products if people are asking for advice and to advertise in the classifieds section. Subscribers get a special tag so users can see they have a vested business interest in what they are suggesting. The system was stopped for unspecified reasons (undeclared profits maybe

) and now anyone can advertise with the resulting mess that has created.
Anyway, if there is any merit then maybe we can take this outside of this thread as I fear I have veered it off course far enough already (sorry OP)

Without dialogues, if you tell them you want something real bad, you will get it real bad.
