I don't know how others feel about this, but i think commercial members should be allowed to post in other areas of the forum, as long as they are not advertising their products or services.

There are many areas of the site that i would be happy to offer help and advice to other members, but i am restricted to the commercial content section of the site, which i think is wrong.

I feel that the commercial content section of the site has very little to do with trading, and is more of a collection of members spamming their products and services.

I think that commercial members should be limited to one commercial post per day, to cut down on the crap that's posted in this section of the site.

Some members are using this section of the forum purely as a way of attracting visitors to their site, by creating numerous threads with no content and posting links to their sites. They are adding no value whatsoever to the site in my opinion.

It would be nice to get some thoughts from other members on this topic.

Thanks guys, have a great day.

Hi Rob

My thread is in commercial and yet I am not restricted in any way. That said I am not trying to sell or promote anything so probably in the wrong place to start with. I don't see why commercial members should be limited to 1 post a day surely the section is there for a purpose - commercialism. Nobody is forced to read the posts but I do agree there is a lot of spamming. Just my thoughts. Have good weekend.

Hi Claudia. You are not restricted as you are not a commercial member, as you say you are not selling anything.

The one post per day idea would only be applicable to direct advertising. Commercial members would still be allowed to post in any area of the forum as long as they were not advertising. This idea works very well on Earn Forex forum so i don't see why it could not work here.

I think that some commercial members could add value to this forum if they were not restricted to only being able to post in the commercial section of the site.

Every time i log onto this forum there is very little that i can contribute, because all the new posts are spammy adverts. And i am not really interested in joining any of the long established threads in the commercial section, so i generally leave without posting anything.

It just seems to me that the mods here are a little shortsighted, and see commercial members as low life spammers, when that is not always the case.

I agree with you.
