Watch, the name of that score level changed. Oh look, nothing else changed! Ah yes, because its an effect and not a cause. Its just a descriptor nothing to do with setting the actual rating as I've explained.
You're saying I gained traffic by artificially setting BFL low in order to placate 'BFL trolls' and prevent them flooding the thread. But if I set BFL higher, then the guide would have been flooded with posts about how BFL was too high, creating more traffic. You just blew my mind. ......... Anyway, lets pretend for a second that your logic wasn't totally fucked, lets look at the traffic numbers. Lets pretend for a second that by some witchcraft your voodoo logic means my traffic increased by 5%. This guide's views make up less than 5% of my views on the forums. So I gained 0.25% readership or 1,487 views over 7 months, hurrah!
So what if it's just a descriptor? It proves, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that you are biased. If you were unbiased, you would not use a descriptor that is a company name to indicate the worst possible condition. That is the very definition of biased.
Yes, I am saying you gained traffic by artifically setting BFL low in order to placate the trolls. That is exactly right. I am glad you admit that if you set BFL higher, if you based your guide on facts and were honest, you'd be flooded by how BFL is too high. It wouldn't generate more traffic, it would send you to the dustbin and you know it. If you were not seen as jumping on the BFL hate train and actually using facts and evidence to support your conclusions, you'd be a pariah and nobody would use your guide, because all the trolls would say what an idiot Dogie is and what a worthless shill you are. I'm not saying your hate train fueled guide increased your traffic, I'm saying it prevented you from losing traffic and allowed you to gain marketshare directly at BFLs expense. This is indisputable and you even admit so much in this post. I seriously doubt anyone here would disagree with the fact that if BFL were rated higher, you'd have the trolls yowling at you about how you're a shill and your guide is worthless. Do you deny this?
Anyone, and I mean anyone who says anything positive about BFL on these forums is instantly labeled a shill. Go on, tell me that is false.
1) Beneficial to BFL? Hardly. How is it beneficial to BFL?
2) Tarnish your trust rating so people would be unwilling to listen to you? Absolutely, what is more appropriate than using the trust system to show you are untrustworthy and continually lie to your reader base?
3) I wasn't aware you were doing a business. You said yourself you didn't earn anything off of the guide, so what business would it affect? Or did you just slip up and commit yet another lie?
4) You said you wern't earning any income, so how could this be? Uh oh... yet another contradiction.
5) Not at all, are you just making stuff up now? I had no doubt you would continue to publish your false, biased information under the guise of "unbiased, factual information," I just wanted to make sure people knew that you were doing so.
