I want to start off by saying in no way is this meant to sound condescending and is all completely genuine. Also I won't be replying after this is posted to said post this is a statement and it's difficult enough for me to post this because I don't like explaining myself but I love this community that I'm going to do so.

So let me begin, when I came here I will admit that I over used promos but everything I've gotten I have used for me and only me in my cycle that just was completed. After realizing I may have over stepped I reached out to an admin to get a more definitive aspect of promo rules. I was informed that 8 to 10 reviews(which I'm still in that range) were allowed in a calendar year but it wasn't cool to Frankenstein a cycle together but unfortunately I had already done just that, so I've just done damage control and what I mean by that is products I've bought I've not reviewed and have strictly only reviewed the products that I've gotten via promos because that's what I agreed to do and so i would fall into the range that was told to me. Now I've got a awesome new avatar from doing just that but that's fine because I can see how this has been interpreted. So that's my explanation for my reviews. Now I'm also on a list for members who don't review promos.... just to give an idea my last review I placed after getting those items I got an owes a review badge 1 week after but still only wrote a review after using 2 of the 10 items that was given(I would specify but I'm trying to not break any of the rules) now the source whom I currently am on that list with I informed that I would not be using any of the items until after I came off cruise(end of August beginning of September) and they were fine with this but here we are. this is just to give an idea and some other guys may be dealing with this as well. I'm just trying to give background to these situations I've placed myself and to give any merit to me contributing here because and I cannot stress this enough I really enjoy this place the family and knowledge I've gained here is absolutely amazing and I can't thank you all enough for it. Also i want to thank the admins for not banning me because of this dumb shit I've done and just suspending my account for a couple days. All in all I need this place, I value this place, and I want to apologize to everyone here for taking advantage to an extent of a good feature that we all have here and is a valuable one to the community. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
