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

Advertising
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

Advertising
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
