I have a question.
This particular forum is for internet discussion, correct? I'm wondering why so many people take this forum to promote their products?

Even moreso I'm wondering why I pay 20 a pop to advertise mine if I can do it here for free
I mean often there are great discussions in here and I love it, but most of the time it's a "buy my stuff, make money like I do" post.
Just irritating me today for some reason, guess I need a break!

    Hi,

    Good post!

    Ah so many questions! lol

    I think there so many ways to promote our business. Some are free, some you have to pay. Some people, chose this one in particular. They think that the right place to do so.

    Go take a break and come back more relax.

    I hope it answer to your question.

    No, it's really not cool to promote your own products in posts on this forum. We are allowed to do so in our sigs, but not in our posts. For further info, please read the forum rules. Thanks.

    Hi Hugo. ok, so I didnt take a break yet
    The other day I posted a special, it wasnt a WSO and my error posted in the wso section, some guy went ballistic like I personally caused the energy crisis.
    So an hour later the warrior spirits deleted my post and there goes my 20.00.
    So not eing one to give up I reposted correctly.
    so 40.00 later , no problem.
    YET there are loads here who reside in 'general discussion' selling their get rich quick schemes like making 700 a day selling used ice cube trays on ebay.
    Ways to promote, sure are, PLACES to promote, yes there are. Now I'm all mad that I spent a few hundred here in the past year when i could be getting it for free (not that is hasn't been a good investment). Aaargh.
    Now if I was in a ripper mood I'd visit each post and ask them various things but I obviously need some fresh air time and get back to my clients.
    Interested in what others think
    thanks Hugo!!

    Word to the wise, this is a member-moderated forum, so when you see someone blowing their own horn in their posts, feel free to call them on it and even report them for an infraction.

    If we don't put our foot down this place will become a free for all and won't be good any more.

    Sorry about what happened to you. It sucks, I know.

    Linda - Yes people post their own stuff sometimes......and when they do it in the OT we hammer them into the dirt for it, then we report the posts and infract them. There is no excuse for spamming a forum and it is just so people don't make a habit of it that we react so strongly in the OT to it....well that and we get a kick out of the raw, yet justifiable attack on spammers.

    I don't know what happened to you in the WSO - but we really appreciate in here that you didn't use that as an excuse to start advertising in here against the rules. Such actions draws too many flies to swat for long periods of time.

    I hope you get things worked out.
