Salongeek.com is owned by retailer sweetsquared.com of which one of the directors is CND owner. I created this posted to allow new users to make decisions based on transparent and and non biased information. This forum has some great users, with great knowledge, sadly it's integrity is affected by it's owners sweetsquared.com which discredits it's independency and honesty for reasons I will explain later. In an attempt to resolve this issue I will present full transparency backed with facts and raise questions in certain areas to allow new users to make decisions based on clearer understanding.
Facts Outline:
First of all if you are under the impression this is an independent forum and are directed to sweetsquared.com by any employee/owner or anyone receiving incentives from sweetsquared.com then you have been deceived, which under trading regulation UK is known as deceptive marketing which is ILLEGAL.
Staff member "The Geek" of this site is the owner of this site and sweetsquared.com. Samuel Sweet. Virginia Rouse "Geeg" is also present here. CLICKHERE
Question Raised
Moderator "Noodle" states she voluntarily moderates this "I’m not employed by Salon Geek, my work is entirely voluntary." In her profile she clarifies she does not work or educate for a company. The question I have for moderator "Noodle" is why is she offering "professional" advice when she cannot a professional herself? she is constantly active on this site and we all know that's impossible to do as a nail technician so if she is a none practicing nailtech how can she offer up to date professional advice? She also claims she does not work or educate for any company but constantly peddles sweetsquared.com CLICKHERE Moderator Noodle is breaking rule 6 of this site is she not? 6 - Thou shalt not peddle thy wares.
Summary
It would be nice to remove this distasteful behaviour from this site. Banning moderators and staff members from advertising brands and services would surely be a good and legal start would it not? A moderators role is to moderate the forum and should remain that. We come here to seek genuine opinions, guidance and recommendations from hard working professionals who are experienced in the industry, not product sellers under the guise. I hope this transparency can be achieved.
Thankyou.x
