To the Moderators,
Thank you for your continued excellent work moderating the postings on the VB website. I am sure that other VB forummers are at least as appreciative.
One subject that I would like to revisit is advertising. Some months ago it was agreed that an Advertising VB thread would be set up. I note this has been used on several occasions for advertisement postings. Good.
However, I also note that we continue to get blatant advertising posted either on new threads or on existing threads. An example is the "Village" real estate advertisement posted in the early hours of this morning, 15th February 2013. The forummers making such postings are simply not abiding by the rules.
My proposal:
1. We continue to have a dedicated Advertising VB thread for the use of forummers for placing their advertisements.
2. Any postings which are placed on other VB threads, i.e. including new VB threads, which in the judgement of the moderators are Advertisements, are immediately deleted. Decisions in this regard shall be solely made by the moderators (we won't get into debates).
3. Paid advertisements, of a non-pornographic, "non-adult", non-offensive nature, will be welcomed.
- The principle being that if you abide by the rules the advertisement stays, if you don't its deleted.
- The purpose being to maintain the very high quality of this Investment Forum.
Just a suggestion.
Again - my sincere thanks to the moderators.
Respectfully stated,
RBM
