I Really Wish I Could Transfer Some Posts To Blogs...

Wow! I feel empowered. "OBEY ME!" - see? I don't have an infraction icon.

I get it, I get it. It doesn't show up for me, but it shows up for everyone else. Why does that not make sense? If I'm not going to use it, what difference does it make if it is visible or not? Now I'm not sure if I feel left out or EMPOWERED!

Allen, my take is that the whole Warrior board (other than the OT forum) is about "making money" and your example quoted above certainly fits into the "making money within the context of internet marketing" category.

Thus, IMO it would clearly be appropriate for the main forum.

Some specific internet marketing strategies, such as Adsense and PIPS have been given their own forum, presumably to make it easier to access specific advice.

Posts largely concerning "mindset", which often veer into philosophical territory, have their outlet in the Mind forum. I quote:

"This forum is dedicated to discussion on all topics related to self-improvement. This most certainly fits into a money-making forum because power, energy and creativity translates into being able to make more money."

The established contributors, with a large Warrior following, have a responsibility to use their posts in such a way as to encourage their readers to make better use of the full board facilities, including the recently added blog function.

This would help give new members a wider and more diversified experience as well as clearing away much of the extraneous material currently clogging up the main forum.

Warriors...

Whatever happened to "If you don't like the subject matter of a post, don't open it up and read it? " What am I missing here about freedom of choice?

All the best,

Jack

P.S. Is this entire thread illegal and illicit here at the main forum because it is not directly about making money?

Why not ask the OP?
And Jack, thank you for that laugh.

No, that would be more appropriate in the SEO forum.

Les,

No, that would be more appropriate in the SEO forum.

And anything about copywriting or salesmanship "belongs" in the copywriting forum, even when it doesn't. And anything that involves mindset gets mindlessly moved to mindpower, even when it's completely inappropriate for that forum.

Many of these posts are more useful for less experienced people, who wouldn't know to go there to look for them.

The question of which forum is appropriate is very different from Allen's point in the original post in this thread.

Ummm... Putting aside the legitimacy and value of meta-discussions...

Did you miss who posted that?

You know, I had a whole night to think about this subject.

Ultimately, it's all moot.

If somebody makes a post and enough of the members feel it is not
appropriate to the forum it is in, they will (or at least should) report it
and the post goes away.

We're self moderated now, so it's up to us to get rid of what we feel isn't
right for the forum.

I'm not going to get into debates as to whether that is right or wrong, good
or bad. It is what it is if you read one of the top stickies of this forum.

So I'm not going to worry about this anymore.

In the grand scheme of things...it is a pimple of the head of a flea.

So what you're trying to say then Paul,
is there is no use for all these other topical forum?

I think anyone that's genuinely interested in a particular
subject posts it in the correct forum.

Those that are only interested in attention seeking
post them on the main forum.

Les,

But people who DON'T know where to look may only know to look in here.. there are new members every single day that wouldn't know to hunt around the other specific forums...

I agree Jay,
But they are not the ones we're talking about.
Nor are they the ones arguing about it either.

You're right.. but I think some people post their threads here for those new members.

Oh so thats why my blog is for!

I get it now. Blogs are for posting personal feelings, ideas, and messages. That's genius!

Hi Y'all

Thanks for the reminder allen..

As for the non-money making related threads..

For the old-timers...Please understand that a lot of newbies arrive here daily and since some of us are still messed up we kind of shoot where ever we think we will get replies..As we age in this forum I believe we will also mature to the point that we will play by the rules by heart, and through some straight replies we'll learn to respect others here also...Everything grows and improves..please understand...give us time..you could always move our post and/or give us reminders like these from time to time..

For the newbies like me..Please (including myself) try to learn the rules in posting and don't post every thought and experience that we're having..I know it feels great to have people listen to us, to motivate us and help us through. This in itself is a treasure. It makes doing internet marketing worthwhile and most of all bearable, it's gives us a sense of community in this unknown territory..But we should also start to respect others here...Some of the people here have been doing internet marketing so long and successfully that they don't want to hear a lot of BS or whinning or tones of somebody needing a pat in the back assuring them that it will work our or something that sounds similar..

I love this forum..I'm not ashamed to admit it..I LOVE IT HERE..

Please understand that respect and proper behaviour grows with time..censor us if we commit mistakes..guide us to proper behaviour but also please give us time to adapt..I'm sure some of the old-timers here started just like us.
