Please don't do this type of thread. Once your watch is received, by all means give a thoughtful review of the entire process, but this sort of Reddit shite can stay on Reddit. Hope you get a nice watch.

Wheres the rule that he isn't allowed to do this? You know this is the only time of account we have that is supposed to be safe, right?

There's no such rule - hence me writing, 'Please don't...' rather than 'You must not....'

Those Reddit type threads are useless and if you want to do those threads, do so on Reddit. It's so much better for the reader if people complete the purchase and then give a measured review of the whole process, all the pros and cons of the TD, the same re the watch and a couple of nice wristies thrown in.

If I ask you how your day was, would you reply, 'I woke at 7.30am. I had a wee and brushed my teeth at 7.45. I jumped in the shower at 7.50. I dried whilst listening to talk radio at 8.05.....'

Would it be better to say, 'It was a good day! I had to work for a few hours in the morning, but then I played golf with friends and shot an excellent 82. The cart girl was very impressed, but I'm not surprised as I was bombing it 300+ off the tee...'

We're grown ups. We don't need the irrelevant minutiae; give us a genuine review when all is said and done.

If there isn't such a rule, please don't be passive here and use "Please don't".

People like us use forums like this because we feel genuine people help and its much safer.

YOU have every option to keep scrolling and switch to any other post you wish.

Great analogy btw, because to me two people were asking about each others day and you've joined in?

With all respect, I understand what you're saying but like I said, we let every one know because it creates open conversation for others to chime in and create a discussion that is sometimes beneficial to us. Such as, "Good luck", "Beware", "Mind the rotor" etc etc.
'Prefect' type and 'Teacher I've got an apple' behaviour is just super strange on a forum such as this.
