So you have a problem with the wording, rather then the action?

On a side note, I do love the whole stigma that is attached to many in this industry (myself included), that apparently it's not possible for us to make an honest mistake in a post on a forum, unlike the other angels that float around who just follow things to the letter of the law and wouldn't dream of doing anything uncouth.

Interesting, isn't it.

2. Masked Nepotism

This is where someone from one organisation posts recommending another organisation as if they are a neutral party when in fact both organisations have a direct relationship with each other.

That should clarify what I said

I have no problem with one organisation recommending another whether they have a link or not my objection is to them doing it in a way that presents them as an unconnected satisfied customer of this third part for example

Now come on I think you're being unfairly hard on yourself there, credit where credit is due, you and some others worked hard to earn those stigmas

Nope, that was point 2. It's the "people from the same organisation chatting among themselves and repeating /backing each other up" (aka incestuous chatter) you're meant to be providing examples of.

Stay with the program!

Exactly and thanks for realising and making it even clearer what I was responding to for those who didn't understand Gary

That explains that point, but I asked if you could provide some examples of where you have seen "idle chatter" going on between hosts staff members just to get their name in lights?

[Albator]

You did indeed and I didn't respond to that bit because quite honestly I can't be bothered trawling through old threads

[perlboy]

Wow, there's so much troll bait in this thread I'm waiting for the hungry sharks to come along.

[AndrewM]

No offence, but you're having a dig at people and can't be bothered to back it up? Cmon mate, suck it up. Either you can't find anything or you just can't be bothered defending your own point anymore.... So which is it?

You quoted from it!

C'mon Angus, cough up some examples. We're all trying to help you deal with your issues, but you have to be willing to help yourself.

I think Cheyne from Cove almost falls into that group. She keeps posting to herself all the time.

Gezz Cheyne, it's about time you realised not every post is directed at you, grow up! Your inane chatter is beginning to piiss me off. Then again, so has the migraine I've had for the last several days....
