That's not context - that's spam-ilicious right out of the gate. Are you going to pick a fight with your target audience over the fact that 'technically, it's not spam since we didn't mention a product (although we did put our name and brand all over every single post?)
Look, nice try, but don't try to claim innocence when the moderator has to step in and admit he's already received multiple complaints about your post.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck... it's a duck. And if it looks like spam, smells like spam....
Personally, I would have had no problem with you, or any manufacturer saying "Hey guys - look, obviously we have a vested interest here, but we want to know how to make all of you happy. What's on your dream list? What features do you really, REALLY want to see in a bag? We can't promise to feature all of them, but we can promise to listen and give it a good effort."
THAT would have been applauded. What you've got here now looks like nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to keep people talking about your products.
