Wouldnt it be more informative if there was a notation by each person who posts at Pricescope where they are employed? This would also serve to identify the stores that are so VERY helpful and informative. Battle the Obfuscation

Just take a look at all their signatures. Diamond Bob and Lesley H are from White Flash, Rhino (aka Jonathan) is from Good Old Gold, Todd and Robin are from Nice Ice, Josh is from Dirt Cheap Diamonds, etc. Why use a big word when a diminutive word would be succinct! ____________________________________________________________ Just a regular person trying to be helpful.

Guys, the forum policies don't appear to require identifying one's status as a vendor. This is what I see under "forum policies: If you are a member of the trade, please follow the following post content rules: Do not use a promotional slogan in your signature. You may sign your posts with your name, credentials and company name. That language suggests what they are allowed to do, but not that they are required to do so. (FYI, the girls are correct in saying that most of the regular vendors here DO identify themselves. But I do see Spicol's point.....a vendor could post here and elect not to identify himself.) _____________________ Note: Chainsaw Not Sold Separately.

fire&ice Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,827 Last Post: 3/30/2009 Member Since: 7/22/2002	Spico, you're not uncovering any great new conspiracy on PS. "Undercover" vendors w/ agendas have been around for a long time. Leonid is good at spotting them & what he misses the poster's usually figure it out. Nearly all the vendors that post information do so under their name. On the flip side, consumers have also posted under different names to force their agenda. Many times a tirade about a Lab, company or dealer.

This is my first and only Handle on Pricescope.... Sooo, why not make it manditory to have vendors listed by name, other than the fact that we have a problem with false identity at Pricescope..perhaps this is justification enough?
