  • Why do you all disguise retailer names in your posts?

    I've seen things like Bee and Queue, L1dl etc.

    Is there any reason for this? Do posts get rejected if you enter the actual brand name?

    Thanks

    Sara, try typing in J*E*Y*S fluid without the asterixes and see what you get.

                  Its free advertising - so if some sort of search engine wanted to know how many times L1dl had been mentioned, they'd miss it, Its a game really.
                  The Jayes thing goes back years, before my time, and I've no idea why. Four letter words are asterisked out too.

                      So, ignoring the duplicate of Lidl, I have 3 x 4 letter brands, all of which have been 'accepted'

                          Perhaps we should have a st1cky ...... post of what is accepted and what is not?

                          Apologies if this already exists.

                              Sorry if I'm misunderstanding but my four letter retailers are not being changed to asterisk names e.g.

                              Lidl
                              Asda
                              Aldi

                              Why do people disguise these retailers?
