Yikes, while I am feeling slightly brave... I just wanted to ask, if there are some members in the community as a whole who seem to be very behind one particular vendor or another, in terms of promoting or defending the product; if the relationship extends to discounts, or gifts or other perks or suchlike, ought they to have a Trade badge; or is there some obligation to disclose this; or in fact might we never know?
This is a general question by the way. I am not sure whether it even matters, but hoped to get some good input and opinions either way. I am also aware relationships can become even more complex and develop into friendships etc but thought I would ask anyway w.r.t. both this, and the parameters above. Actually I am terrified to even put the question, but my curiosity has got the better of me! If it has already been answered elsewhere I will accept my chastisement and slink back off into lurkdom!
