After talking to Stankdawg, he brings up some good points in regards to people can say what ever they want in their shows. I like the idea that people get to say something positive about anHonestHost, but it open a risk of someone misremembering the special promotion, or get confused about something that they think is right. And then there is the cursing possibilities. While at times I can let loose a sting of curses that will make a sailor blush, I try really hard not to do it when I am talking about my company. With that said, here are the guidelines I ask for when you record your bit about us.
* Please only mention promotions you see here : https://anhonesthost.com/promotions * Please refrain from swearing when talking about how awesome AnHH is. * If you are unsure about something about AnHH, ask me. We have a lot of stuff that makes us better than the other hosting companies. Some examples of that information: https://anhonesthost.com/about/customers-bill-of-rights https://anhonesthost.com/a-different-type-of-web-host Also if anyone is wanting to give a go on the platform first had, I can get some shared accounts hooked up for a month trial. --Josh On Thu, Jul 17, 2014 at 10:49 AM, StankDawg <[email protected]> wrote: > Should we all follow a script at all?
