I've thought over Jim and John's proposals and along with the previously
mentioned policy on ads, we will do the following.
We will have a one week lifting of the no ad rule beginning Saturday
October 1 and after that, we will allow *only* active posters to this
list to advertise what they sell on each Saturday. The topic for
all such mails will read "solicitation". I read every
mail to this list so we don't need a certain number of posts to qualify
as being active. You know and I know if you're active so that isn't
going to be a problem and it isn't going to require record keeping to
enforce the policy. If you don't want to see any ads on the list,
just know that all ads will be marked as solicitations in the topic and
they will only be present on Saturdays after this coming week.
Spammers of any type will be removed without warning as will pumpers or
anyone running ads but offering little to nothing else.
I hope all will agree that these solutions are fair to
everyone.
All best,
Bob

Ok, since I started the interogatory, let me make a simple proposal that
won't please everyone all of the time but hopefully will be a compromise
that everyone can live with most of the time. I used to contribute
moderately to RT but unfortunately since I'm back in practice I just
don't follow the markets as closely anymore to make intelligent
comments. Hopefully, that may change again in the near
future.
I do like the idea of having those with something to 'offer' being given
the chance though on an infrequent basis. Those that don't like the idea
of 'advertising' in any area of life that comes on the internet as with
any of us in any other situation, have learned to hit that delete button
mighty quickly. Most traders who post on RT, don't do so on the
weekends and especially on Saturdays, when RT is pretty darn dead. There
are preparations going on Sunday night for traders in anticipation of the
next trading day so Sunday would not be a good day, nor would any day
during the week when RT volume picks up and the focus should be on the
markets and not elsewhere.
So my
proposal is this..... ''''' 'Advertising' will be allowed on RT on the
first Saturday following the end of each month from 12:01am to
11:59pm.''''
No exceptions. Those breaking the rules will be warned,'banished', hung
at the stake etc. ie Following that plan, advertising would be
allowed Oct 1, Nov 5, Dec 3 etc. or basically just once a month for one
day, only 12 days a year....which are usually inactive RT days
anyway. Those who aren't interested in such will realize in advance
that on that particular Saturday there may be a bunch of 'deletes' needed
when they return to their screens Sunday evening. Knowing this in advance
can forewarn anyone that that's what will likely be from RT on that day,
perhaps among a few other non-advertising posts. Those who are
interested in procurring advertising/education will also realize that
what they are looking for, may in fact be advertised on that particular
day.
