Advertising on Accyweb
 

This is a post that was removed by the mods as I was deemed to be off thread so to put into context it was inrspect of a post regarding a newly opened busness which the proprieter was "adverisng" via the website

The issue of advertising on the site is a difficult one for instance my
daughter posted a very complmentary report on Imposta which was very well
received by Accy Webbers and she then posted a negative report on Millies.
Clearly these were her genuine personal views however in the case of Imposta it
resulted in members trying it out and endorsing Sarahs comments similarly I
guess some members will choose not to frequent Millies becaus of the negative
report.

A good reputation can take years to build and one bad report to destroy. With
any report/review it must be rememered that they are the personal views of the
author and are subjective and we have different tastes and expectations and
that things can change for the better or for the worse

Personally in these difficult times I'd be quite happy for businesses to
promote themselves perhaps in their own section. As I no longer work in
Accrington it can sometimes be months before I discover a new shop etc.

I thought the previous thread which has been withdrawn was honest from the
proprieter in that he openly stated he was promoting his new business surely
that shows a degree of enterprise and initative and theres nothing to prevent
other businesses doing the same (apart from our rules)

You do hope that reviews of businesses etc are factual and honest and there is
no hidden agenda and therefore the integrity of the site can be maintained

Didn't you post this earlier on a different thread?

I seem to remember that I answered it, if I am correct, starting it again without that reply or acknowledging it had been removed with several other peoples threads is a bit of a cheat.

Please copy and paste everything.

Not just your bit.

Cashy I answered with an explanation which was also removed.
If it's removed surely he can't start a new thread without mentioning an accurate explanation about the site rules?
I certainly don't plan to upset the Gods by telling him on a duplicate thread.

ah wasn't aware of that, naughty hedman.:eek:

Re: Advertising on Accyweb
 

I suggested that hedman2003 start a new thread on this subject if he wished as it was off topic on the thread it was originally posted in.

So it was only removed because it was off thread not because it should not be posted. That is why I said it was ok to start a new thread about it.

Re: Advertising on Accyweb
 

ah so not naughty hedman.:D

Re: Advertising on Accyweb
 

Change of mind.

Re: Advertising on Accyweb
 

Hardly seems fair?

He is allowed to start a new thread and my explanation is spread to the four winds, whats fair about that?

Re: Advertising on Accyweb
 

Less - yes you kindly did respond however in deleting my post and your responses Neil only copied my post back to me therefore I could only copy and paste my original post

Re: Advertising on Accyweb

Re: Advertising on Accyweb
 

You are more than welcome to post it again, would you like it pm ing to you?

Re: Advertising on Accyweb
 

Why not just stick it straight in & tidy this thread up?

Re: Advertising on Accyweb
 

Your last paragraph basically covers what your daughter did, she gave revues, of those establishments.

So far as accywebs rules are concerned businesses can be advertised on site, but, only after following the correct protocol as shown here:-

It would after all only be polite to do so.

If, this person hadn't done this then the thread would be removed, however we have more than one admin', so it may be that time elapsed before everyone concerned, (all admins/mods had been checked for having given/not given permission).

This is only speculation on my part and not cast in stone.
