Bob,
 
I don't think any one of us want the "unristricted advertising" that you seem
to think is what would exist if even a bit of "advertising" existed. 
 
It seems to me that if a list member asks how someone posted some kind
of picture then an answer to that which referenced a commercial product
should not be considered advertising.
 
When someone of Tim's statue informs all of us of what has been going
on and the change in character of his operation I think all of us are interested
and certainly do not want to see such blocked.
 
My list (TheSwingMachine) is strongly monitored and absolutely no direct
deliberate advertsising is allowed BUT if some member wants to tell how
they get a certain set of results I certainly am not going to deprive the rest
of the members of this list from such information.
 
I am convinced that blatent advertising is not advisable.  I am convinced
that recommentation/information on how certain results are obtained are
very valid and useful applications of posts on this list.

I am in favor of invigorating the list as much as you are John.  I will do anything the membership wants to do  but it will take some convincing to cause me to believe that a majority of our members want to see any type of advertising on this list or that the list would be somehow better with such content.  I do waive this rule at the end of each year for the week between Christmas and New Years so our members who wish to, can state what they offer and how to access those services or products but how a steady flow of such information would improve the quality or animation of the list escapes me.

This list doesn't belong to me or anyone.  It belongs to all of you and if you want unrestricted advertising on our list, let me know and if I hear from 50.1% of you that this is what you want, I'll drop that restriction.

While I in general support the prohibition on advertising, I thought Tim’s post was made within the proper context for usefulness.  Perhaps zero tolerance is just a little too oppressive.  It is my opinion, and my opinion only, that the quality of the discussion has evaporated over the last several years.   Perhaps a little leeway on this issue, in a contextual basis, would help invigorate the group and discussion a little.  It is just a suggestion in the spirit of Real Traders sharing their experiences.

I'm wondering Bob why we have that policy regarding advertising. Was that something the list members voted on or just the moderator decided on it or just how did that come into being?  You're right in that I believe the vast majority do not want this forum to be a place where we get inundated with tons of spam advertising. But I'm sure on the other hand many listers would be very interested in what Ira, Ben, Tim et al have to offer. I for one am always on a continual quest to be 'educated' and I'm willing to pay for it. Certainly we can contact them offline to find out what each has to offer, but, likewise, often we have no idea someone has something to offer unless they 'mention' it here. I, for one, found Tim's post very innocuous and appreciated him letting us know 'he's back' and how to get a hold of him and what he has to offer.  The majority of spam advertisers we've seemed to have here have been the one time blatantly hit and disappear type.  Maybe some leniency could be available to listers who have been on the forum say for a year+, or who have posted X number of times or something similar.  jt

I have sent two direct mails to the offenders of our no advertising
policy in the past week warning them about violations of this
rule.  I remind everyone again that this list has zero tolerance for
ignoring this policy and after having sent this out, I will now
remove anyone who violates this policy without notice.  Simply put,
do not mention or brag or talk about your services or products or
anyone else's services or products on this list unless said products
or services are totally free without enhanced, charged services or products.

Bob
