Which is rather an odd coincidence.
You aren't 'chris' ('chris3115cats') by any chance, are you?
You seem to have missed the point.It never ceases to amaze me why there are such barriers to barring their fellow countrymen from helping themselves to help others, really shows ones own insecurities.
Those that normally do these things are normally walking in shoes made by children, hence the term, Walking on Childerick.
One day we will all come to realise that we all need each other.
Once more unto the breach dear contrymen or fill up the holes in our heads with disscontent, slight regard and a whole lot of crap made by children.
You seem to have missed the point.
The point is not one of holier-than-thou principle.
It is a principle of keeping the forum self-sustaining (through members own donations) as a way of keeping the forum free from influence, and hence possible squabbling, corruption, arguments and such like. An independent message board, free for unbiased discussion.
If you allow 1 person, with just 10 posts to their name to start pushing their stuff, and arguably only using this forum as a vehicle to do so....then understandably, other members, who make their living from beekeeping and selling equipment will feel upset, that they as contributors to beginners on this forum and as donators to this forum, don't get the same treatment.
Then still, yet more suppliers will feel other members are getting more 'coverage' than them on this forum.. So they feel the need to add more...making the thread and post content deteriortate into a free-for-all advertising match.
The whole place becomes a free-for-all fuelled by jealousy, bitterness and general one-upmanship to get the most coverage of your product. How much 'coverage' is fair? How is it measured?
No.
There are professional sites for selling equipment. If it's good enough, it will get bought and word will get around.
Using an internet message board to piggy-back on whilst making NO contribution to its upkeep and worse still NO contribution to helping beginners on here is taking the p!ss.
No it's not a perfect world.
We're all 'un-pc' in some way or other.
Carbon footprint, clothes from malaysia, environmentally unfriendly......you name it.....that's not the point and to bring that up is not addressing the real issue at hand. Nice try at steering it away though.
This forum is kept free from advertising so members can discuss beekeeping and make up their own mind on what products to buy. Without undercurrents of jealousy creeping in.
I would actually say this forum actively supports, home makers of equipment to sell. Because this forum needn't be run off donations. It could be run off a sponsorship from Tho***s instead. And then we'll have a forum, but it will take away more money from those lay-people trying to make a living from their family business, by more and more new-bees buying equipment from the big guns.
So it is wrong to use other peoples' money who pay for this forum, for your own end to sell equipment and not contribute at all back in any way.
Personal gain and no return.
So next time you get on your high horse, think a little before you type.
