Who is going to decide the on the minimum level of quality? How?

I think it's like advertising for any product. There's good and bad and if it's bad, don't buy it. That is the ultimate power as the consumer.

I don't think X5world comes with the guarantee that a product or service advertised here is good, great, or the best. I would think that if a particular vendor developed a reputation for bad service or ripping people off then that's a different issue but if the product or service is something that is not liked or needed, just ignore it.

Sounds like the slippery slope of censorship. What gives the admins and moderators the right to decide the "quality"? If a vendor is offering a product that is legal, why shouldn't they be afforded the opportunity to promote it. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Legal and Moral should be the standard. In the case which this thread originates there are some irresponsible claims being made by the member (vendor) and not the company. I've checked the official website and there is no such cancer claim.

I have several friends and family who have died from cancer and a few spent thousands trying to hold on to that last piece of life. This vendor is taking advantage of people in a desperate condition with false claims. I hope X5World can see this rational request and ask the vendor to remove any such false claims or at least back up his claim with an official company source as to his claim.

Otherwise, I could care less what vendors sell here. I do have a problem with vendors who make false claims which take advantage of people with debilitating diseases.

Hypothetical question: Would X5World allow a vendor become a sponsor and advertise the Turbonator?
