Brnnoser6983 Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Post sales deals last x - x.than it is taken down. If they email a mod to post it they control it going up. That and it would always be the top post.
Super User Choporoz Posted May 21, 2015 Super User Posted May 21, 2015 I cannot, for the life of me, think of what is wrong with the current system of 'limited tolerance' of posting of deals by non-sponsors. What is so very difficult to understand about the repeated justifications provided for NOT having a separate forum for non-sponsors???? Sorry...but huh????
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted May 21, 2015 Author Super User Posted May 21, 2015 There are hundreds of site such as these called coupon sites and they make money by moving people to another site to purchase. They in turn get money for a referral. Same concept as immortalized material on YouTube. But I guess I could jump on that band wagon.Somebody else already does. Its called TT. It also has a kayak bassing section but obviously not enough interest for a whole sub forum for that her. I'll just continue to use TT just for those two sub forums... As its the sole purpose I go there. 1
Brnnoser6983 Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 My OP says and is examples of a current sponsor. The other was just throwing it or there. No more than anyone else before me did.
Super User Choporoz Posted May 21, 2015 Super User Posted May 21, 2015 There was a paying advertiser to this site who bailed with a strongly worded message about how much shopping traffic he felt he was losing by all the talk of deals and suggestions to shop elsewhere. He deleted it within minutes of posting, which is almost unfortunate. It was an emotional rant, but I get it. Even the current tolerant system is a bit of an affront to those paid advertisers who are helping to keep the lights on here.
Super User J Francho Posted May 21, 2015 Super User Posted May 21, 2015 My own personal opinion is that inclusion - paying or otherwise - generates traffic. Traffic = revenue to sponsors. Sponsors = BassReource staying on the air. Got a product you love? Tell us about it! That said, when a business or individual takes advantage of this open forum format, and posts excessively, or uses some form of subterfuge to make it seem as though it's a person just posting his/her likes, then I draw the line. And by "line" I mean complete blockage from ever being mentioned. There's enough dishonesty in fishing without perpetuating it for profit. I think that a forum for "sales and good deals" would eventually degrade to that state. Fortunately, we have a GREAT list of sponsors here, that not only keep us on the air, they offer products I would like to use, or already use. Want a deal? Ask one of our sponsors. Many of them offer special deals to members. It's just one of the many benefits. 1
Cgrinder Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 My only grump involves being censored when talking about purchasing rods or reels and we don't have a sponsoring dealer who carries rods and reels anymore, save for Mike @ DVT who builds.
Super User J Francho Posted May 21, 2015 Super User Posted May 21, 2015 You aren't being censored, unless the name is one that the company asked us to remove from the forums, or was a habitual spammer.
Super User slonezp Posted May 21, 2015 Super User Posted May 21, 2015 So,does this mean I still don't get my food forum? 2
