I still do not understand why it is sooo hard for people to understand a very simple concept. Especially considering the fact, that for the most part, the people on this site are very intelligent.
We welcome and want people to recommend companies and businesses that they have used successfully (with the exception of other real estate companies as our host is a real estate company).
Where people seem to have a problem is understanding the concept between A) Advertising/Soliciting; and B) Recommendations.
A) Advertising/Soliciting: Having a vested or financial interest in promoting a certain product or company/business/service. If you stand to gain something by posting their business here then it's not allowed, full stop. If it smells like it, it will be summarily deleted and not debated.
and B) Recommendations: This is just what it says. A recommendation is the result of someone actually using the service and finding that they would use it again so are recommending it to their friends. If this fits, by all means post the company's name, location, contact, website, etc., etc.
If you are not sure, PM any moderator and they will make a determination. Posts that seemingly have a pong to them will be watched. Especially when somebody "registers" only to make a recommendation. This is suspect in the highest order and causes our spammer radar to go off.
