About users with hidden agendas


If you know that a user is a dealer and they fail to disclose and attacks other users because they make a point against their interest, do you expose the user?

I know of a gentleman here that continuously posts and goes after people and does not disclose who he is. 

What are the ethics of this forum?

I thought dealers, designers and manufacturers are expected to identify themselves...not sure if it is an actual "rule"...

Attacking other users is contrary to the forum guidelines and that would become a matter for the moderators.to address.

Should you feel strongly about the situation (clearly you do) I think that it would be preferable to quietly report the poster about which you have knowledge rather than to publicly name and shame.

  • You will not post content that is abusive or defames another member of The Service.

transparency is good. Especially when the poster has some financial stake in the topic…

Thank you for the thoughts, I rather do this quietly.

2 more questions, where are the forum rules and how do I reach a moderator?

I looked in the General part of the help, but there is no mention to the forum rules.
