Why not just have a 'Commercial' forum in unmoderated? All things commercial in there and if one of the manufacturers or other commercial people wants to reply to a thread in any other forum, just post a link to the 'Commercial' forum from that thread [iykwim].

I can see that the site should not become too comercial, so maybe have a section where people can promote their services. I think it's important to keep lots of people on here from all parts of the music business as their knowledge and experience is invaluable. I hope the new rules and regulations dont stop these people from postiing on here.
Maybe replace the Roots section with a Services Offered section as this seems more in keeping with speaker building. This could be an unpopular suggestion but I'm not sure how the roots section fits into this site.
Or move all advertising to the Unmoderated area.

hey
Possibly, a compromise would be to simply make sure that the sales talk is kept in the "sales" part of the forum! The thread could be changed to something like "sales and wanted" and people who are advertising their building skills or whatever can put it here, and also if you are wanting to ask for people to build cabs etc it can go here as well? Think if you are advertising your skills though it should be kept to a SINGLE thread stating "I;m ******* and i can do ******** or supply *******" afterwards then only reply to specific questions or posts. This will still allow some sales and to go on, but keep it out of the general topics and limit it to specific sales concersations, as rule 5? I do think it'd be wrong to loose all talk of sales. For us that work in the trade we are generally happy to supply speakers, building skills and related equipment (amps, outboard etc) at particuluarly good prices because we know we're helpng other members of the forum out. Just my opinion, thoughts anyone? kev Edited by kevinmcdonough - 24 June 2006 at 7:42am |

@mykey: Got to admit I had some thoughts along similar lines when I
read the rules. There is a certain irony given that the site has
always been heavily biassed towards Void/PAP/P-Audio UK. A bit of
competition is no bad thing, especially to keep the above organisation
(note singular) on their toes. Flying off the handle won't help
though.
I want to know where people like myself stand now. Technically I am part of the trade but speaker design and building is also a hobby as well |

When i first saw the new rules I was also quite annoyed, but after reading them a few times i'm not so bothered any more.
To a certian extent i do understand why these rules have been put into place, as i do notice that over the last wee while things have became a lot more 'commercial'. I dont think that the rules prevent selling as such though. for example.... if someone was having a "general" conversation about punnishers then you would not be allowed to jump in and advertise your building skills and prices, as of Rule 3. However if someone says "I want someone to build me 4 punishers what are the prices" then as of rule 5, you are juts supplying information that was specifically asked for, so as far as I would interperate the rules then that'd be OK? Think they're just designed to prevent people jumping in at every opertunity pushing certian products, which does happen though i wont mention any names. And remember if you really feel that your services should be offered you can always PM someone. kev kev Edited by kevinmcdonough - 24 June 2006 at 6:12am |

This is a mistake....why try to control the flow of free info..this is what evil leaders who wanted to control the world did........a forum should be free.........why should you keep me from knowing what Mykey wants to sell his cabs for...............I am in the USA and it makes no sense to order product from the UK but I find it interesting to see what members sell this gear for............to make a web site and forman about loudspeaker building and not let the members sell these units is foolish......if Rog does not want people to make his designs and sell them he should keep the plans locked up....let us be free!

Not a mallicious question, but, is the site run by or sponsored by Pro Audio Parts.
It's just that the new terms and conditions seen to be aimed at stopping people offering cabinet construction or other services for a fee. Or to stop people promoting their companies. Surely if the site is to be free from "corporate advertising" then there should not be a big link to Proaudioparts.co.uk at the bottom of the page.
Unless of course they provide the site. In which case my humble apologies.
This post is not meant to sound as harsh as it does. I just couldn't think of a better way of putting it.

Every time you go into Profile, it defaults to Manufacter.
So, once I adjusted location, I needed to set Industry Affilate as well. Problem Solved. Best Regards, |
