    How come that a few members here are always interested in buying the newest service launched?
    Even if they would be interested in every single service, how come that their only comment on those threads are related to samples and review copies? Never about making an actual purchase.

    Getting over the little rant,
    is anyone else bother to see the same members posting on BST threads just to pop up their signature?
    Anyone else sees this as unprofessional?

    I think we as members should stick to the rules as they are stated.
    We already have a rule for thread hijacking and I think members signatures should be removed from the BST section.
    Anyone that wants to promote their signature, can make valuable posts on regular threads and we have leaving proofs of such great members.

    When I enter a nike store I won't find there adds from adidas..

    What do you guys think?

    You mean super useful posts like these classics?

    "Wow, congrats on your approval!!!! Good luck with your service"

    or how about the classic

    "Look good, will wait for reviews"

    or....wait for it....wait for it....

    "Bookmarked"

    Yeah, it has been said a million times. If someone does it the thread owner just needs to hit the report button...simple as that.

    But yeah, I get what you are saying...there are some that will review and take anything they can get their hands on....yet never once do you see a transaction number from them ;)

    That's why I think removing the signature in the BST posts is a great idea.

    Little out of topic- I do not find any smartness giving "free copies" to their direct competitors as well

    I agree with OP. That is why I never Post on New Service threads.
