Thank you Heather, I think this should be voted in by-laws.

Spritual Winged Aura.
I saw you edited your post...

1) You just posted more quotes said by other people to prove your point instead of explaining the quotes for yourself

2) You proved my point again.

Thanks.

Sorry for being mean ><

EDIT://and by the way, good job at giving credit where credit is due....when it came to all those quotes, we still don't know who said them...

At least we know that the main quote everyone's been referring to came from the rules and Jusun Lee!

I forgot, this went to by-laws. darn it. laugh.gif As i mentioned before, i'm neutral.

I apologize for treating you like you were irresponsible,
but i really do think this topic should stay open *calms down*
I stand firm on this, now.

And if it doesn't happen, I will still believe it should have been that way. Change the rules, but you can't change my mind.

Createblog isn't a forum soley devoted to graphic art. It's a site dedicated skinning blogs. Clique was seen to be a competing site, but Jusun approved Clique as noncompeting. Clique is a community for artists, and has NOTHING to do with blogs.
Retrofied has nothing to do with skinning blogs, either.

I think clique being deemed as competing was more out of spite than anything else...

Oh okay. Every sites are not competed, we know that. Can you tell me your main point for this topic? I'm confused.

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 don't remember where the thread about clique mb is.. But it sorta explained things a little better I think.. Or at least it explains what is meant by "commercial". You're right, it's not exactly a law per se. I thought it was a rule for official members at least to not be affiliated with competing sites, but I don't remember if/where I saw that.. But I believe someone was planning on opening the issue in by-laws anyway.

Just to clearify- I did not make this thread about advertising competing sites. I made it about member sig changes on the bases of "NO ADVERTISING AT CB" even if the site was no where near advertising. Just clearifing.

Nah, I don't necessarily have an opinion on this issue, so I'm not trying to prove or disprove a point. But I did want to mention that the issue will be brought up in by-laws if it hasn't already been done. Er.. Well, technically any committee member may do so if they want, right?

I'm not seeing the big deal about advertising other forums in signatures. First of all, I don't think the "no advertising" rule should apply to signatures. A signature is a personal piece of information and anything should be allowed, with the exceptions of inappropriate material (such as pornography and profanity).

Secondly, even if the "no advertising" rule applies to signatures, I hardly think another forum qualifies as "commercial". One can also argue that even if it does, it is merely "providing information" (the address of the forum).

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.

Hmm. Well, thinking about it.. Technically, this thread is in by-laws so you could consider it up for discussion. The committee members just need something to vote on. *shrug*

i deleted the signature links to RF because i was told to!! ph34r.gif _unsure.gif

but alvin (maestro) & mike (mikestah), your new forum was comepeting (IMO) because it had xanga, myspace & website skins. (i think those were it) BUT STILL.

And can mods address this subject please?

well, ill try to get the committee together since we havent discussed anything in here in a while and well try to come to decision as soon as you can make a proposal of what needs to be voted on.

but for now, since frankie is of higher power, but was told by someone of even higher power to remove it, theres no point trying to fight the system. just make your proposal and the committee will sort it out.

edit:
then again, if it was to be deemed as a competing site, the mods you have now wouldnt be able to be mods. you should have probably been contacted or something if it was a competing site which i think was ruled out although i heard from a little birdie that someone considered it to be one.

Well could the higher members explain why instead of secretly doing it and not even telling us?

//edit
And why they believe RF to be a competing site and why the removed a Harry Potter forum as well?
