I already told you, it’s not about whether they’re doing it… it’s whether they have the motive too. There are reason conflict of interest laws apply to people. You can’t have an administrator to a car forum being someone who’s key demographic for their products are based on that forum.

It’s not right.

And yes if you had a business I’d say the same to you.

This forum doesn’t need more guys helping in tech. It needs a change in management, or at least the way it operates.

I don’t really care about your relation to Bing, it shouldn’t matter considering this is supposed to be a professionally operated board. That being said, take a look at Bings posts, and tell me they aren’t over the top inapropriate.
