thanks for posting

self promoting is not allowed and almoste every vendor has been gently and sometimes not so gently been reminded not to self promote.

lissy---angela--- and others do not self promote

we, the moderators can check isp numbers and pretty much figure if the praising is coming from the vendors or from the brides. isp's tell us if the praising coms from setarnet or whichever island internet provider.
we rarely if ever have seen or come across bride planners, photographers planners making self promotion postings.

we can also tell by the isp numbers, that folks register using multiple names and sometimes it is pretty funny watching them banter with themself. (meaning they register as john doe, make a comment.....then register as john smith and then disagree with what john doe says...and on and on. it happens and we see it on occassion. sometimes it is very funny. other times like it is horrible)

the moderating tools allows us to see this isp number so that we can properly moderate.

i have been comparing some isps re: these wedding reviews and i quite possibly see some irregularities. not from the vendors. but i have been wrong countless times. lisa and i contunually try to keep everything legitimate and we take great pride in doing a job well done and take criticism when/if we mess up "like big girls"
