mic Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 This kind of tweaks me wrong. Two posts and both are advertisements. If it has been cleared with management, I guess it's no big deal, but it just irritates me. If you have nothing fishing or hunting related to contribute to this fishing forum, please post the advertisements in the Lodging post down the forum index. Thank you. Drew, I kind of disagree. Living in IL, it is nice to hear about these kind of places. I would also like to support small local buisness, and an OAF member at that, when I can. Maybe there should be an advertising section opened with rules, but I would still like to see them. MIC
drew03cmc Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 There is a place down the index page for just this discussion, called Lodging. The purpose of this forum is not to pimp your product or business, otherwise you have joined for the wrong purpose. Andy

Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me) I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)

What about the buy, sell, and trade section? What is the difference if the member is a small business owner member or an individual? If your complaint is location, I'll buy that. If it is the sale, I respectfully disagree.
drew03cmc Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 The complaint is that this is a fishing forum (right here, Upper Taneycomo), and they have NOT posted anything fishing related, but rather wanted to drum up business. Two posts and both have been promoting their business. That is pretty bad. If it were in the Lodging forum, it would make sense, as they are trying to drum up lodging business. Andy

Could be like my screw up earlier when I didn't know there was "general" post. Could just be ignorance of the forum? Send 'em a PM or point it out instead of slamming them (at least the first time).

drew03cmc Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 She had permission to post here. Can we direct her to the Lodging section to avoid clogging this up? Andy
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 1, 2012 Root Admin Posted March 1, 2012 I've really have chosen not to micro manage the forum. There are a lot of posts somewhat out of place. I do move them occasionally but only to help those who are asking for help, ie posting something about Table Rock on the Beaver forum.
