The position of the moderation team is simple. If a source is willing to create dozens of fake accounts to leave fake reviews to falsely inflate their positive reputation, as well as besmirch other sources, then they are not welcome here. It is unfortunate that they choose to behave this way, as simply having great service and good products would likely see them successful in the long run. Once they demonstrated themselves to be willing and capable of this level of dishonesty, we had to call into question what else they're lying about. What level of trust we can put into the testing they share, or the products they send out. If they're willing to make fake accounts touting the best service and best products, are they also willing to mislabel products? Are they willing to employ fake batch numbers? How much can they be trusted with customer info?
These are not concerns we want to have with a source on SST, and they've shown us significant evidence that they will lie and deceive users wherever possible.
