I sure couldn't do this; in the past year I've done freelancing for a number of companies and it would take a good deal of my sig saying which publishers and in what capacity. My second reason being that there are indeed instances where an industry person may want to illicit opinion without revealing his own bias on the subject. Reviewing your own products, sure, I agree that this is a ludicrous practice - who'd believe you're being honest - but this happens so rarely that making a macro adjustment for it just doesn't make sense.Messageboard communities such as this must make full use of the honor code system otherwise they rapidly die as its users get tired of the slippery-sloap of the facist policies that tend to follow that first step. If you learn that someone from the industry is unfairly representing themselves and/or their product, there is a simple solution without changing ENWorlds rules: A) Don't pay attention to any further reviews from that person and B) don't buy their products. The best way to make your discontent known to an underhanded publisher/writer/whatever is to hit them in the wallet. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
