Warrior Forum Ethics

I've been away awhile, as I don't find it's the best use of my time. Nothing against those of you who get value here. To each their own, right?

Not surprising, yet still a bit sad, to see the ethics of this place haven't changed.

Yesterday I took the time to responded at length to thread about one of my websites that was full of questions & inaccurate information.

My post explained what was & was not true.

No pitch. No link. No special offer. IMO, WF regulars would not likely be customers of that offer. I see what sells here & that ain't it. My motivation was to correct information on a page that could have been found via search.

So, of course, now that it isn't a bunch of inaccurate information, admin deletes the thread.

I respect the 'no pitch' ethic of this section of the Warrior Forum. Still, I don't get really grasp how lies & inaccuracies are OK but corrections must be deleted.

In the end, I accomplished what I set out to do. No more page for a search engine to pickup. So I guess everybody wins.

Cheers,

Stan Dahl

  • Stan,

    I deleted that thread. It had developed a pitch feel, which isn't allowed. I couldn't delete your corrections as "pitchy" and leave the inaccurate info posted. So, I deleted the whole thing, removing both problems.

    I don't see where that raises any ethical issues. If you do, I'm happy to hear what they might be, in order to avoid them in the future.

      Thanks for the reply.

      Your sandbox, your rules. I don't get a vote.

      We could debate what is a pitch and what is not a pitch forever.

      For what it's worth, I made a bunch of final edits in an effort to make sure there was no call to action, no claims of benefits, no URL, no scarcity, and every sentence related to something in a previous post.

      I thought I was writing a documentary. A fact-based reply. Shows how little I know.

      Cheers,

      Stan
