if you remember 
you allowed once a year  , a month before 
Christmas,   an allowed month of November, 
my suggestion, 
  
allow   4 times per year, 1 
week, 
poster must   do: 
a 
first  show with  gif  his  
examples of how his system indicator, course worked, 
b   give a big discount to the 
group 
c    allow a 30 day free 
trial 
d    give money back   if 
not satisfied   with claims presented 
e   must contribute and post at 
least   10 times per quarter  with examples 
(this will give the  list more examples  
, and ideas if they would like more info about it)

  As a long time member, I also support Bob's 
  policy on not permitting any advertising. I think any deviation from this 
  policy could gradually turn this group similar 
  to some other spam-oriented groups.
  Best, Ned

    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,

    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.

    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
