I have been banned from BB.com for promoting this show!
It would seem one of their moderators named Kimberly Lachance email address
[email protected] has chosen to ban me because my show is and I quote:
The website for your bb show has direct links to RXMuscle and other supp companies that compete with bb.com. Those are outside vendors which are frowned upon in our forum rules.
It's so nice to know you can't even promote a BB show everywhere because the Nazi's over there fear competition. Maybe they think they are losing the battle? My response to her was:
I am only a promoter and of course take sponsors that approach me. It is hard for me to see how that is a problem? It's like saying the only people who can set up a booth at any show are the ones approved by whomever. People should have choices, and not just supplements, but sites to interact with, advice and forums, different bodybuilding federations, etc... I would of course invite BB.com to be a sponsor, however I can not even get a call back from the content department, and I have called for 2 weeks. I took some time to review as much as the forum usage information as possible, and don't see any rules directly pertaining to your reason. I would be more than happy to read them if you have time to forward them to me. If you could advise me how you would prefer me to tailor my information so that it could be promoted on your site, I am all ears. I understand what you are saying, however I find it a bit Nazi-ish. I am trying to further the BB community, membership, and competition, not stifle it. I have spent years building up a great show and reputation. I just find it ironic I can be squashed so easily because one person disagrees. There are more than a few of your members who give me props for doing a great job taking care of every detail of my show. To exclude me would and should be a shame. I am not looking to make enemies, just further BB. Your actions are like me getting mad every time someone opens a new nutrition store, or promotes a show. When I look at it as an opportunity only to make me look like a rock star when they fall flat.
I think this chick somewhere must have lost a show in the NPC or something? I could be wrong? ALL HAIL RXMUSCLE if this is the kind of censorship we have to worry about from every website who wants free speech in a free country where WE as Americans just want to get in shape and compete at the highest level. Competition only validates us as being the best, otherwise how would we know we are the best?
