WE WILL NOT ADVERTISE FOR "IS SPIRIT REAL?" SELLERS
Posted: Thu Feb 12, 2009 1:48 pm
Effective immediately we will no longer advertise for sellers who offer "send me your spirit & I'll tell if you if it's real" services. By advertise that means that the thread on the seller can only contain basic reviews of service and the thread will not exceed 5 pages.
Why?
No seller with integrity will offer to review another practitioner's offerings.
Why not?
#1 there are many sellers who use cloaking spells on their bindings and spellcastings to keep outsiders from being able to contact or influence the magic within the vessel. If a practitioner has used this method no outsider who does not officially own the vessel will be able to tell what is inside and can be inaccurately rendered "empty".
#2 some spirits will retreat from outsiders and not respond to their attempts at contact thus again rendering an inaccurate verdict of "empty".
#3 some unscrupulous people use this "is your spirit real?" service to badmouth other sellers, make themselves look more authentic, and then sell you their own products as the only ones you can trust.
So for the reasons just outlined we're no longer offering advertising on this board to those sellers. We do not want to appear in support of said practices and in the interest of keeping the integrity in the paranormal community will adhere to this new policy in the strictest manner. This board receives literally hundreds of a hits, sometimes over a thousand, a day. It is our responsibility to try to display the most responsible guidelines possible.
If you know a seller in violation of this policy please alert us. If a seller who offered the "is your spirit real?" service discontinues the service please let us know as well so we can reverse the restrictions.
Thank you.
