It's annoying af. Just don't do it. Make warning points.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Does this really need a rule/warning?
I'm pretty sure most of us would be willing to vouch for our own business. It's not like it's unexpected.

Though perhaps you're referring to a certain context/phrasing I'm unfamiliar with?
Could you give an example of a situation in which you feel a user should be warned for this?

Though it doesn't make sense. Why would you vouch for something you own.

It's redundant and should be a rule. Also adds to post farming...

Are you saying people make a post on their own thread saying "Vouch" or something? :p
I've never seen anything like that.

It's already disallowed to an extent. However, if somebody works for a business and they want to describe their experience on a thread, it's allowed.
If it's a rule, it's not being enforced. I see many people do it.

So you're basically saying you can't describe your experience working alongside certain groups of people? Of course nobody is going to directly vouch their own business or service on their OWN thread but describing experiences and providing any additional information that ensures you work with ownership and describing your business relation stance is important.

It's obvious this thread is coming from my reply on that thread. I removed the "vouch" part for you.

You don't make any sense at all.[DOUBLEPOST=1496293089][/DOUBLEPOST]
The only time I've seen it reported was with FatTaco. If it's reported, it'll be removed.
You're slightly mistaken. I repped the business account for MCBuilds a WHILE ago because I wasn't really aware of the circumstances set into place (now I am of course). This suggestion revolves around threads [mainly] I believe.

I believe this has been resolved. If someone feels that their business or people in their group are worthy of a vouch then you can feel free to vouch for them.

Declined, thanks for the suggestion.
