why the taboo

Why are discussions about ms taboo on this forum. On one side the argument can be made that is not ethical. ..on the other side credit card companies Rate jack via penalty rates when they probaly need money the most. I stand somewhere in the middle. ...
The fact that this forum is associated with a cb and has advertisers should not create a negative association with it. ..conflict of interest anyone?

Re: why the taboo

I always found it kind of weird how backdating isn't off limits to talk about while what you're mentioning is but I always keep in mind that this site run directly by a credit reporting agency and that there are just topics that you can't talk about here publicly.

Re: why the taboo

Discussing MS is not taboo, advocating its' usage will get a thread removed.  

 

myFICO has several topics that are not discussed and may  be discussed on other credit related forums:

 

  • B&?!age
  • disputing valid derogs
  • advocating the usage of MS
  • credit repair service

 

Google is your friend and with other sites advocating MS, you should not feel  limited in the topic.
