+ 11 Promo Etiquite
So there is a hot promo posted for 20 dbol and you are all over it. Before you send that pm or friend request think about a few things.
First off are you gonna use it soon and be able to review it adequately, or are you planning on stock piling it and running it in the next cycle or two? If you take part in a promo you should be able to utilize it in your current cycle or one that you will be starting soon.
Secondly think about how much gear is being offered. Is it 20 dbol or a vial of test? Do you have enough experience or enough of the compound to give a detailed review? If not maybe let someone else try it.
Third point. How many promos do you really think you can possibly review in an adequate amount of time. The source is giving you samples and is expecting a timely review but you have already taken part of a whole shitload of other promos. What now. You fake some reviews so you satisfy the source so they will let you into future promos. This is BS
Fourth point. If you take part in a promo it is you and only you are using the gear and reviewing. It's not for a buddy it's for you. Too many time I've been reading reviews left for your buddy. If they want to partake in a promo and review they can make an account and contribute to the site.
Fifth point. And this is pointed to the source. If you the source want to get a detailed review of your product and a good vote maybe you should offer enough to get a detailed review of it. Sorry but one vial or 20 tabs aren't enough unless you want crap reviews.
Last point. Is every vote really worth a ten out of ten rating? Probably not. I know it's free gear and you might be afraid to be honest in this area because you're afraid the source won't let you in on future promos, but this is why this site is here and as a member it is your duty to Be truthful on all details.
let me say that I have partaked in a few promos and I owe a couple sources reviews and they are coming soon. And I won't be partaking in any promos going forward until I can finish a reveiw for all the promos I've been lucky enough to be a part of.
Edit.
If a mod finds out you've received more gear than you could possibly reveiw and you still post more reviews to get In on more promos they will come down on you hard.

Cplvela0811The purpose of reviewing is to provide feedback for fellow lifters and weed out the fakes. Not everyone deserves a 10/10 trophy.
Good read.

For me promos arent about cheap or free gear its about who can get shit through to me in my strict customs country, ive been around this place since 2011 on first account and 2013 on this one, all up to this day ive had 6 promos.
3 recent.
It gives me the chance to test them without the risk of losing the lot to customs etc...
Everyone is different i guess.
I guess it's time to bump and update this
Good post! + 1

Wait, i can get sources to give me free gear? I want some :(
Please tell me who to send nudes to....
You're supposed to send them to pale

I've never utilized a promo, other than a percentage off holiday sale or 2. Most of the promos are for a small sample of a product. Small enough you couldn't really give an honest review.
My integrity is worth too much to me to review something without certainty. The fact that a source is giving anything away is generous, but if they're buying reviews with 20 Dbol, I have to question their integrity. I'd rather just not participate and not " owe" a review. I'm sure I've missed out on many good ones because I rarely look at the section for it. To each their own, but if I see a profile that has a few bought reviews, I don't take any of their reviews seriously.
Here’s a member that’s a prime example

What is this promo thing I keep hearing about?
Bromo dude, bro-mo
It's almost Movember you see!
DAMN dude, this causes a tear of happiness, that I am not alone with such thoughts!!! Thank you for this post +1 to you my friend!
FR sent!
Definitely not alone bro!! I wish we could pm this link to every member!! :-))
Bump bump bump!! This should be mandatory to read before entering a promo
Great post Fuse. And years old..
Lot of promos for certain items offered isn't enough product to do a 'review seems.
It is an on going problem,
Free gear, human nature, greed, hoarding.
ETA: I don't know how many times I've said this,........... A promo review, is a bought and paid for review.
Also ETA: don't get me started on hoarding, I've got 12 full vials of Wat(censored)son Test Cyp, all legally obtained with a script from a very kind Dr.
Gear whore you......lol.......
No shit. Friends share
Sharing would require a Source tag.

RustyhookerPerfect timing. Get the newbs on track
After I saw a couple members ( one adv member and one somewhat newb) get questioned on how many reviews they've posted this year I remembered this post. One guy had 15 and most of them were the reveiw for an additional promo. The other has been banned so I don't know what those reviews were. Still can't believe I've been here almost three years after I looked back at my forum posts.
RustyhookerThose puny promos should just be like getting a key fob from car dealer. I'll never believe 5 days of dbol even comes close to review quality.
Reviews for karma is another joke. Sources WANT at least 6 karma. Why? 6 karmas means you can give a full 10 star review and FAKE their rating. Again, all for 5 days worth of tabs. Just watch every time the source posts that crap....suddenly reviews POUR in. Should be against the rules imo period.
Discount promo. Those to me are excellent. You see a source you've been watching and now you can get bogo or % off. Awesome! !!
Yes sir. I dont even include the bogo or % off promos. If your giving them your hard earned cash even at a discount go ahead and stock up if you feel comfortable spending that cash. But buyer beware if the price is super cheap the gear is probably too. I know this from experience.
Excellent post, always seen the way those give-away promos are done as shady at best...
Another point to make would be is it worthwhile to give another source your personal information? Its different if you use an alias and a PO box temporarily but personally I don't take part in too many more promos because Id rather my information only be with 1 or two sources not 7 or 8.
This is a good point I never even thought of. This is the black market we are dealing with people. Stay safe
