  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.  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
