Re: Who are the fakes on here....

I think there have been a couple lately.
Really the vendors dont care....there will be someone who doesnt know any better that will read the post and go visit and maybe even book that vendor.

IMO if you have to come on here to get brides to book then maybe you arent as good at your profession as they would like us to think....its stupid

i think finding out one of our vendors posts on here as a fake bride would make me much less likely to use them. i'd like to think that my vendors are reputable enough where they wouldn't need to stoop that low. my RH doesn't even advertise and they do just fine.

How can you tell if they are fakers or not? I'm still all new to this :-/

Thats what I think-but sometimes posters dont even realize that a poster is a vendor, sometimes they are hard to pick out-other times not so much.

The easiest ones to spot are the ones who have 2 posts RAVING about a specific company and teh posts are identical.

Yes, they are the newbies who think they actually do this well. They will post 15 times, quote themselves and talk all about this wonderful company in each post except for 3, where they pretend to care about something else so in their minds, they think they are being so stealth. It is truly pathetic.

If I were a vendor, i would hire someone to play a bride on here and really be involved with the chats...not just all of a sudden they are raving about a vendor with explicit detail and you've never even seen them before

I'm new... Can someone just FM the fakers so I don't even stick them on my 'to consider' list! Thanks

Or just post it...Why is e/1 so nervous about trashing a vendor? If they do a bad job, they should be held accountable.

its not trashing a vendor...its a vendor posting and saying that their company is the best EVER on the boards. the fake posters will pop on the boards randomly-I dont think any of us really keep a list of who they are...besides they usually get deleted sooner or later

No I get that they are vendors posting overly positive things about themselves.

I was just commenting as a side note... from reading some of the stuff here I have noticed that brides will say s/t like 'oh I wont trash them b/c they are a vendor on the site and we all know how that goes'

Just take everything on here with a grain of salt. Rememer, it is a chat site so with the exception of a few...noone REALLY knows anyone here. Just a fun innocent site to get ideas and bounce ideas off of others.

Its ok, I've been on this site for almost 2 years now and Im always the last to pick up on these things! If it wasnt for other girls posting about them I dont even know if I would realize what goes on!

You cant 'trash' a vendor, whether they are on this site as a vendor or not-its a legal thing that LIW does to protect you as a poster from any legal matters and them as a site-they pull the posting. As long as you post what happened (good/bad/ugly) in fact form and not emotional it wont get pulled. I had issues with some of my vendors, posted in fact and none of them have been pulled. As long as you post honestly and not tear off into a rant about a vendor being a jerk and snotty blah blah the post wont disappear.
