Your point on seemingly one rule for some and a different for others probably has some merit. But in the end I wonder that when a person/entity is universally applauded for price and service, then maybe it's entirely appropriate that posts promoting Nicki are left intact. It would be a different matter if she was pumping up her own tyres, of course. But the fact is the recommendations are coming from happy customers. If the FA dumps forumite opinion that recommends and provide contact details on her then it stands to reason that the FA should do excatly same about any message that promotes drivers, accommodation and tourism attractions on Bali. Equally, if we are to ban positive recommendations on service providers then we should also ban any negative warnings. And if we were to do that, then the forum would be largely meaningless. Surely this forum is as much about recommending the goods and services that contributed to a great Bali holiday as it is about Bali itself. I'm sorry ibumanis but I can't quite see that recommendations on this person are free advertising.
