Disallow Advertising

Andy · Nov 11, 2014

I don't think users should be allowed to advertise anymore.

I don't really want to go into detail because all my suggestions seem to go unanswered, but it's simply just annoying seeing people spam-advertise like @'Jimmy' & @'Witch' are doing right now. They're advertising in their signatures, they're advertising in their giveaways, and I even saw @'Jimmy' advertising in a subforum. Not to mention, some users simply sign up, make a post advertising their website in the Webmaster section and then they'll be on their way and never log in again. It's just ridiculous if you ask me and I don't think members should be allowed to advertise at all anymore due to people abusing it.

Philly would like this because it would generate funds for the site if paying was the only way to advertise.

Dave · Nov 11, 2014

It doesn't bother me either way. I have a question though. How do you plan on stopping the people who sign up, advertise, and never return?

Rare · Nov 11, 2014

I also agree all this advertising is getting quite annoying. :/

You should have to be at least Power to make an advertisement.

Remove the Webmaster section.

What about all the other forums in the section? We're not the only ones.

You and @'Jimmy' do it the most so I used you two as an example.

I agree too it's annoying. Maybe @philly should charge to advertise. Also, I think we should be able to have a "advertisement free" forum korner, it wastes shit loads of time loading on my Samsung Galaxy. I have to wait for the advertisements before i can press a button, then i sometimes click on a advertisement by mistake.

Maybe pay like $5 one off for advertisements removed........? Or it should come free with Power+

We'll be happy to remove the threads once Philly has decided.

Do you people even read the Rules?

"Advertising, This is not allowed unless you pay for it. We have made a complete help document for any questions you have about this. Advertising anything will get you a one month forum ban. No questions asked. To check out the help document go HERE."

You must pay to advertise.

Did you even read the thread? I am referring to advertising forums and at the moment, that is allowed.

@Andy "They're advertising in their signatures" you said that. you. not about whatever you just said otherwise.
@Beware I copied from the rules.

This is an amazing suggestion and hope it gets used by Philly.

I was thinking the same thing just never made a thread.

NULLNULLNULL · Nov 11, 2014

I made a thread a while ago about stuff like this. I agree with you.

Moon Knight · Nov 11, 2014

Define advertising.

In my signature I have some links on how to earn free BTC and Doge. That's the only form of advetising I have. But not sure if you guys would get annoyed with it?

αяυη · Nov 11, 2014

I was under the impression that you couldn't advertise anything in your sig without paying for it.
I am advertising my forums, but I purchased a 1month sticky from Philly.

Andy · Nov 12, 2014

Any chance this can be reviewed?

@'Mitchell'

@Philly is just being a MVP. Letting others start their forums with some backlinks thanks Philly.
