I know it says to use the ads section for advertising, but I do not feel this is suitable for running specials on individual services etc...
How about a spot where us sp's can post our specials or upcoming events?
I am thinking about it. To be useful I suppose this section should be geographically organized, i.e. has country and state subcategories. This is so similar to ads... The only difference is that it must be more dynamic and ordered not in activity order but by date. Perhaps we should just create unmoderated country and state boards, where both hobbyists and providers will announce their specials, service proposals and requests etc. Local spam bords :)
Hey you know what? I know of one forum that only lets girls post specials if they post at least three times a month to the forum so that way if they do not keep active or sign in they would not be able to put up a special without being creative. I think this should be even easier for the providers here seeing as they can post blogs and articles and even respond to mail. But it is your board and you are free to make your own rules. But it may be a way to get more activity.
But being unmoderated I do not agree with that because if providers are to post a special and then just type in the word "bump" or post the exact same thing again and again things like that should be watched for. I really do want to see your board do very well but rules do have to be laid down. IMHO
I can also see where it would be an awful lot of work for you. hmmmm
Oh, and that little red new posts dot will not go out for me in the warnings and alarms section.
