mod 135640 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 The council and I have added a new policy/rule for cerb that is now in the RULES AND FAQ area. http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/faq.php?faq=vb_faq#faq_recsunfail Offering a prize or Compensation for RecommendationsYou can not Solicit recommendations for trade of services, money, favors, prizes or any sort of compensation. This would be a shill (Fake and unnatural recommendation) - recommendations must be genuine and deserving must be eared honestly! 1) Providers are not permitted to compensate ANYONE for recommendations. This includes bartering, offering prizes for "The Best" recommendations, having a friend make one for you or even offering discounts to people who write recommendations for you! 2) Clients are not permitted to offer to write a recommendation for a provider in return for anything!! (Including a discount, prize, money or any sort of free service, etc...) This would be a form of extortion and we will remove you from the site for this! Recommendations that are not earned honestly are considered SHILL POSTS and both accounts could be removed from cerb. This rule is intended to protect the integrity, fairness, and trustworthiness of the recommendations on Cerb. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
