Recently I reported a post that seemed like spam to me, but apparently "fulfilled the criteria for The Bazaar", and my report was rejected.

However, the product being advertised was clearly snake oil - at least to anyone with half a brain.

I recommend that the staff consider revising the rules so that obvious scams are not given the green light.

By allowing such products in the bazaar, VV is effectively endorsing them - whether it intends to or not.
 
Was it the hydrogen water one? I thought it odd that it was still there.
 
OK, I've deleted it now. The Bazaar is still a somewhat new and not fully developed idea, so mistakes can happen.

I've deleted the thread now on the grounds of it making unsubstantiated health claims.
