R/C Tech Forums - spamming threads

R/C Tech Forums (https://www.rctech.net/forum/)

- Australian Racing (https://www.rctech.net/forum/australian-racing-29/)

- - spamming threads (https://www.rctech.net/forum/australian-racing/542339-spamming-threads.html)

If advertising an event anywhere else other than the event thread is considered spamming, how the hell is advertising your business on any thread other than your own businesses thread not considered spamming...:confused: as seen at the below post:
http://www.rctech.net/forum/9601033-post4389.html

2 rules... 1 for personal gain and one for the development of the sport... :flaming::flaming::flaming::tire:

A slight difference.

Greg pays RCTech for thread and he didnt go to every thread advertising his products.

I agree rules should be followed however this is clearly a rule that has been made for a minority group and not perhaps for the good of the hobby.

Perhaps it some cases it can be allowed but only when approved by the moderator. The title could read “Advertisement” and a limited comment could be made and only posted in relevant threads for example onroad events within onroad threads only.

This is rational thinking for the good of RC in general.

my comments were never intended to harm, or offend people. it is very dissapointing that the use of the forum is for some , an avenue to guide people to their shops. yet a club can not post details where it can matter , to help have a successfull campaign to help boost numbers for a nationals event. no point going on about it, people have made their choice, and posts have been removed. Lars spamming was every single club thread, 2 of my clubs got hit, did i care ? no. would i have known of the event if i didnt see the post........... NO. so it made me aware of the event, and for that, i think its worth its weight in gold. many clubs are struggling for numbers for their events, i admit, Lars posts were of a larger scale, but i chose to read it and move on, not complain about it, as it was effective of what he was trying to do. it worked. that is someone/club, utilising all teh powers they have at one time, to help them have a successfull event. dont like it, dont read it, dont reply to it, and make it more on topic. thats enough about it, lets all move on.

I'd be almost certain since facebook RCtech has reduced in number of posts etc and the reality is, if ppl want to get personal about a public service then they'll end up wondering where everyone went.

I've moderated and operated channels in the early days and it's not a fun job, so this isnt a dig at the moderators, but the best attitude to public forums is tolerance and positive moderation. Bans should be directed after individuals have been warned personally. A blanket rule often leads to a mass exodus and there's always another forum waiting and hoping to grow.

We, the people make forums, not a thread title.
