I don't think he was referring to the review being a shill. I think he was referring to Kristine's comments {which were removed} about the girls and comments about contact and photos etc. Since she is not in "blue" it would be up to the reviewer to provide the information or for AGA to renew advertising. I do know they were blue before.
I feel a little bad here because I was the one who put up a fight with the free advertising going on in the Durham section. I am the only paid agency advertiser and they are only a couple of other Indy ladies that pay for advertising and recently there was a thread where I came out and publicly made a complaint.
When I was not an advertiser, I had my signature and link removed. I thought I was doing the same as Kristine, which was answering the questions asked in threads about SSE. I was told this was still consider advertising and so I had to make my payments like everyone else So I did and all has been fine, but doing so I wanted to make sure that if I was being made to pay for advertising, then the rule should be made for everyone to do the same. So I feel bad that I may have been responsible for this new "must be an advertiser" tone for Durham.
Now Kris and I know each other and we are actually pretty good friends, so I don't want people to think this is an AGA/SSE thing. It is just a TERB advertising policy thing.
Hope that clears things up.
