Advertising other forums Options

[Retrogressive]

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.

Ooh, here's the link (about clique):

On the side note, I hope no one is taking this personally. If cB is just a forum, then it would be best to think this through calmly. Not targetting this towards a single individual, but just a note, in case of any future arguments that might get out of hand, that's all.

I apologize for the late reply, but Retrogressive, I was the one who deleted your signature. As well as for Fabio.'s (I think? I know I deleted some). I only did so because this rule was inforced a while ago within that thread although back then, we didn't have a by-laws. Now that I've read all the feedback from this, I've come to the conclusion that it's understandable that none of all the websites are "commercial," but perhaps.. Jusun meant a different kind of commercial? I guess back then, because of the whole clash between cB and clique, that this rule was inforced since clique drew out a number of cB members, and since some of the mods from cB, mind all the present mods, were also mods on clique.

Perhaps the unofficial rule was inforced due to the fact that mods and ex-mods of cB were mods on clique, that Jusun made that rule? There was a discussion about it before.. Somewhere.. Hmm...

But now it's understandable because many new forums are more based on broader topics irrelevant to cB in many ways, so this rule could be removed. I do apologize for quickly acting without consent of others. I will take all the blame since it was a mistake due to my part, since I am one of the few that still remember that rule. It was an unofficial rule, so it's good that this is being brought up in by-laws so that we can finally have a set of official laws that will eliminate any loopholes and ambiguities. :]

If Jusun doesn't ge there first, I'll be sure to speak to him about this very soon.

I hope no one takes it personally. CB is a forum, not a big drama hole. I was just trying to point out how serious this was if it continued without being adressed. The fact that it had to do with my own forum was almost irrelevant. (So in other words, I'd be irrational if I took it as personal). Thank you for finally addressing the subject (I know you've been busy).

//edit

It's quite obvious why Jusun has made you admin, you are so level headed and straight forth. I really appreciate your honesty and how you deal with matters at CB.
