I also applaud the efforts and agree it is the sponsors/vendors responsibility to educate, however, we take drivers education and we all speed on a regular basis, does that mean car dealers should stop selling cars to people that speed? I think not.
However, I refuse to sell anything to anyone whose tank can't support the animal's health and longevity. Those of you who have been to my place and made purchases, you know this. I just won't do it.
Making it a rule to vendors and sponsors is very difficult to police - however, I will never make a reasonable effort to discourage - I just won't sell it to you.
RONEN - saying vendors should operate ethically is NOT isolating vendors out, it is an educational responsibility for those ACTIVELY soliciting sales to educate their consumer. Sponsors are not actively selling they are advertisers and the user solicits sales from them and it is up to the consumer to be educated.
As for your Mod comment, I would tread lightly on your accusation of a mod making a recommendation verses saying what a user should consider - this approach will not get you any more sales and we have seen that approach doesn't work well in this tight knit community. I don't know 100% the thread you are talking about and next time you may want to lin k that in so it can be kept in context, however, my experience is that mods don't give absoluts, they give recommendations and access to information for users to make a decision by. Just my experience.
I like the rules, think they are well written and agree with them wholeheartedly - they are as fair as we can enforce and will be managable for all.
