WARNING!!!

[Marc St Louis]

Can't say I find it vague either

No one is allowed to sell or promote their products on the Primitive Archer Message Boards, unless it is under the paid classified ad section of the board. You are still allowed to TRADE under the trading post.

I mean it's really a stretch to get "no direct links" from that for youtube videos with Ford truck ads, though not so much for random products (links of something for sale if someone asks where to find), but a little bit of a stretch. Doesn't say anything about clickable vs non-clickable links, etc

I can say I have a something or other brand thing, but not link to it for sale. Only the latter is interpreted as being "promoting a product"..

I have to stop

Really!?   We are now on 3 pages!

A-a-ron Its like telling your kids four times to pick up their dirty clothes off the bathroom floor. Eventually you're done asking..................

[stuckinthemud]

Lets hope its not like telling them to turn off the lights, cos mine will occasionally understand about the clothes on the floor but they have never understood about turning off the lights................

...because I said so!!!  How's that for an answer.   If you don't like our rules there are other sites you can visit and complain about. It is what it is. Like it or lump it! 

[PatM]

It's only vague if you are a sponsor. No advertising  except in the classifieds but sponsors have links on their signature and sometimes seem to promote in their posts which seems to refute the first part.
 
 But loon doesn't have to worry about this as a non sponsor.

[Pat B]

The people that pay get the benefit.

I dont see anything wrong with posting a link to TradGang or others like paleoplanet.  After all many others here post on those sites as well.
As far as Primitive goes a lot of us use man made glues and synthetics.  So where do you draw the line...?

[Pat B]

As long as there is no commercial entries in the link it is OK.
 It really doesn't matter what any of us think. The owners of PA Magazine set the rules.

[PatM]

 Off topic, why are so many administrators and moderators not actually active on the forum?

[Pat B]

Good question, Pat. I guess once a Mod or Admin, always a Mod or Admin. A few of them no longer visit the site.

[PatM]

Thought you'd have to turn your keys in when you left the job.

[mullet]

The ones on here tried to have it cleaned up, Pat but were over ruled on some of them.

[bushboy]

I think the rules are pretty clear,don't feed the trolls and ban them!
