Re: Commercial Activity

I think it all comes down to what's reasonable. The odd reference should be OK, but it was pointed out to us that some members have repeatedly posted recommendation for the same vendor on lots of occasions. I don't think that even a caveat like 'other companies...' would be good enough for the Charity Commission.

We've been playing with the idea of setting up the directory to include paid listings from commercial companies, that could then be used as a reference for recommendations. Without a listing they can't be recommended etc, but even that could be a problem if there's too many references from the forum to one company.
