Unfortunately you will probably be dealing with this everyday until you have given people a satisfying answer.
Again speaking as a member. I want to say also, like bhcentral, I have nothing against you.
In my humble opinion you have a credibility problem which you yourself have created. This is not the fault of the members who are questioning you.
All of the ‘coincidences’ and your post contents mean that people may think one or more of the following things:
- you are the seller of the grip trainer
- or you are in the marketing department of the grip trainer company, doing stealth marketing
- or you are receiving some sort of compensation from the grip trainer company for positive reviews on your site, which came online only a month after the introduction of the product at
- and you are receiving some sort of compensation from the grip trainer company for aggressively flooding forums such as thundersplace with reviews and mentions of the grip trainer.
So far I’ve seen some very narrow “lawyerly” responses from you which I am afraid are more likely to make members more suspicious than less.
If I were to put myself in your shoes, this is what I would do to re-build my credibility and gain trust with thunders members.
Remember, all of these are friendly suggestions from a fellow member:
- come clean with exactly what the relationship is between you and the gripping trainer company.
People might get mad at you for a while but in the end honesty is the best policy. As I said before, we do have members who sell or are connected with companies that sell PE gear. It is not a big deal as long as people are upfront.
if there really is no relationship between you and grip trainer, then these two things would go far towards making people less skeptical and you more credible.
Simply clear away any appearance of impropriety on your part by:
- removing the grip trainer review from your website and announce it here on thundersplace.
- stop going on and on about it here on thunders 24/7
