As a long
time member of RealTraders I totally support this policy. No matter how well meaning a person may be,
if advertising is allowed it is the nose of the camel under the tent. There is no way to stop more and more from
getting in. In addition Bob has allowed
some limited promotions at the holidays, provided it contained some complimentary
service.
Good luck
and good trading,
Ray Raffurty

I'm wondering Bob why we have that policy regarding advertising.
Was that something the list members voted on or just the moderator decided on
it or just how did that come into being? You're right in that I believe
the vast majority do not want this forum to be a place where we get
inundated with tons of spam advertising. But I'm sure on the other hand many
listers would be very interested in what Ira, Ben, Tim et al have to
offer. I for one am always on a continual quest to be 'educated' and I'm
willing to pay for it. Certainly we can contact them offline to find out what
each has to offer, but, likewise, often we have no idea someone has
something to offer unless they 'mention' it here. I, for one, found Tim's post
very innocuous and appreciated him letting us know 'he's back' and how to get a
hold of him and what he has to offer. The majority of spam advertisers
we've seemed to have here have been the one time blatantly hit and
disappear type. Maybe some leniency could be available to listers who
have been on the forum say for a year+, or who have posted X number of
times or something similar. jt

I have sent two direct mails to the offenders of our no advertising
policy in the past week warning them about violations of this
rule. I remind everyone again that this list has zero tolerance for
ignoring this policy and after having sent this out, I will now
remove anyone who violates this policy without notice. Simply put,
do not mention or brag or talk about your services or products or
anyone else's services or products on this list unless said products
or services are totally free without enhanced, charged services or products.
Bob
