I thought CB allowed you to advertise in your signature. I think CB should be much clearer in their rules rather than changing people's signatures without warning.
Doesn't CB state that we can advertise in signatures? If we can have a Forum advertise in the Web site section I don't understand why my signature, along with others, as been altered. If you own a forum, it's considered a website that you put your time into. |

I think that people putting myspace, xanga, livejournal, and deviantart are advertising those sites!

QUOTE(Retrogressive @ Dec 27 2005, 12:41 AM) Hey-- I think that people putting myspace, xanga, livejournal, and deviantart are advertising those sites!  Myspace, Xanga, and Live journal are completely acceptable for certain reasons. It's suppose to be about blogging and graphic situation.... plus, it's consider cB's purpose and service. If cB banned them, cB is totally pointless with no goal. Therefore, cB is useless. That’s why there are certain sites that are not acceptable due to competitions. Hopefully, the bylaw mod will clear things up about advertising since advertisements had been one of the major problems with members ... for a long time. QUOTE(mipadi @ Dec 26 2005, 8:35 PM) Thirdly, I don't understand the reason for forbidding "competing" sites. First of all, cB is a great place--great enough that even other forums won't detract from its membership, and just because a person belongs to several similar forums, does not mean they are not active in each community. Secondly, what is "competing"? I could be wrong, but I don't think cB is a commercial venture--while it makes some money from ads, I don't think its primary intention is to serve as primary income for an individual, group of individuals, or corporation (please correct me if this is inaccurate). Therefore, I don't see the problem in allowing other forum administrators to advertise their own forum in their signature. I don’t know how long you been around in cB but ... there was many related problems with other forum such as stealing, shit talking, forum adviser being an ass with another forum member, hateful spamming, and ... maybe hacking? Therefore, it's kind of ruining cB's reputation and environments. It can lead to more issues. (influence) If there was no such thing as competing sites, it's pointless to produce massive friendly forums serving the same goal. QUOTE(Retrogressive @ Dec 26 2005, 7:58 PM) Where is the confusion?? I'm not asking you for his point. Sorry.  I'm asking him .. what's the point of his post. I think hearing from his opinon is more accurate. |
