Deleted/Rejected/Banned by WBF?

I am always keen to read about products, old or new, but I'd like to know if the writer is "trade" or "one of us"! If trade (manufacturer, dealer, etc), is this fact displayed on his avatar at the left side of the text? We should be aware that there may be (unlikely no doubt) a vested interest in promoting a particular product or brand. On the other hand, a manufacturer is better placed to answer a technocal question about one of his products - again, it's good for readers to know this without relying on the author to state his status at the end of each post. Thanks.

Agreed. I think we do a good job watching that. But Gary is a friend and I don’t like what they did to such a nice guy. We’ve communicated and I’ve welcomed him here (and all the others). For free.

It sounds like WBF bans and does not welcome manufacturers if they do not advertise there.
