It's not the same thing as the juice and the MLM scheme. Some people are objecting the juice product's claims and others are objecting to the MLM implications.

I don't see why we couldn't have Turbonator, Sprintbooster, Tornado, SpiralMax, etc. products advertized. If somebody wants to accept their claims and buy their products, that's their choice.

Yes, the Turbonator is most certainly not the same thing as the Monavie. My point is, the same policy for vendors should apply regardless of the product.

Thank you X5World has reasonably addressed my issue with this vendor.

Sorry to be a pain, I think by your personal situation you understand where I was coming from.

Just like any other product out there, do some research before you buy!
I think this got a bit blown out of proportion, hey what works for someone doesn’t have to work for you!
and if we were to start looking into everyone making false claim about something, it will be a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggg ggggggggggggggg list!

trueX5er mentioned this before, but since this is a BMW X series car enthusiast site, promotion of irrelevant products seem improper.

So we should no longer allow at&t and Wells Fargo Mortgage to have a sponsorship banner ad?

Come on guys. If you don't like it or agree with it, just ignore it.

I have nothing personal against it, but when I read Alex's thread, it felt like I was being preached at, whereas ATT or Wells Fargo haven't, no biggie though.

ignoring now....

These are quality companies not some questionable pyramid scheme.

Not trying to beat a dead horse, just think that a quality site like this should not be associated with questionable products.

I bet that other vendors care about image and don't want there ad to show-up next to a questionable product.

I also don't buy the censorship argument, you close threads and bout people already.
