Comment on Is telling the customer what your site does important? Apparently Notparent

Comments

Well this is all suddenly extremely dodgy, with the submitter lying about who he is, and various other favilous workers commenting as well with no disclosure.

This is all getting very personal. We wanted to create a fun project to see if people would join something they knew nothing about but obviously we had to lie a bit to ensure that we didn't give the game away. Ever read the book Join Me by Danny Wallace? We wanted to see if people would join a website in the same manner. We've got an idea for what we want the club to be but we wanted to keep it under wraps to keep it fun.

We've had lots of users join. It's been a really great day. I guess you've 'caught us' ) No harm done I hope.

Okay, I understand where you are coming from. But why not submit it and then leave it. The lying makes it seems to much worse than it potentially is.

Thanks - really appreciate it. Sorry again.
