I think it's kinda weird/creepy...

Original post by b2b2013

how vendors STALK this website!! I posted a comment about my opinion about a venue (I won't say which one, but it was all good things) and they emailed me saying 'thanks for the kind words.'

I felt like writing back 'I didn't write it for you, I wrote it for the person asking for opinions!'

IDK I just think it's kinda weird...

I know it's weird.


I once had a vendor recognize me at a bridal show and call me by my username.



Whoa

My favorite is when a vendor I've never heard of writes to me as if I contacted them first and opens with 'thank you for your inquiry'.

a bit creepy yes, but better than them fm'ing you about negative stuff!

i think that they should be blocked from this and the year forums and just be able to see their vendor forum only in my opinion



ITA... they have a whole forum just for themselves!

I posted about two vendors asking for opinions becuase we couldn't decide which company to go with. So I wanted feedback on them. One of the vendors then emailed me regarding the post.....

Yeah but then they'd just create bride accounts anyway. You don't even need to be a member to see the forums, so it wouldn't do anything. 'Off Topic' is the only one thats locked

Yes and no. As a vendor, I am sure they want to know what others are saying and how to improve their business

This is like being anywhere else- you still have to watch what you say

I disagree- I think they are just trying to keep up on what people are saying about them. I think it's savvy to use comments from here to better their business. And they were just thanking you for the kind words. But that's JMO!



ita

when i had a problem with my cake cb said they would get back to me in a few days. i vented about it on here and i got a call within an hour

That's a little overboard. I think its fine if they look, but they should keep it to themselves and not tell us.

they pay to be a part of this site they should have access to all forums... imo...

If they want to look at the forums that's fine... they pay for it so do what you gotta do

I just thought it was weird to get emailed... not FM mailed on here, my personal email that I think I left with them (or maybe it's on here, I don't remember).

Didn't mean to start a revolt!! lol
