I agree with the two drunkards from the cowboy state in the north...

I would like to see far less "For Sale" and advertising posts - no
more than one per day per individual (and in my humble opinion even
that is overkill!). I know that this has been raised many times before
but I agree that the primary purpose of the list should be for
discussion about the hobby.

I have said this before but I will say this again�.I believe a
discussion forum like Mopo and any other forum should be about
sharing ideas, thoughts and comments about what we have in common,
a love of the poster industry (sounds nice and warm doesn�t it).It
is hard to make money from it but we stick at it mainly because we
love the hobby so much, often we have long suffering partners in
the back ground who either want to divorce us / have done so or
have taken up �Candy Crush�.
The forum should not be about subtle jibes at each other or any
sort of bragging in any sort of form, people just get tired of
hearing that and the atmosphere just becomes �dead� and it does
the messenger no favours. At the end of the day , it does not
matter if you are the gorilla in the room or the smallest dealer,
the product you sell with the service you provide speaks volumes.
The last posting that I thought really lived up to the spirit of
what I thought a discussion board should be like was when everyone
chipped in and commented about what a poster website could and
should be like if you were to build one. This topic even then went
into sub topic�s that many continued to comment on i.e. Freight
issues a topic that we all have to deal with as well. Sure it is
good to let everyone know what you have for sale, but what about
providing advice. I think if you did a survey on how many public
posts were done in that spirit you would find not a lot. Maybe we
are all to guarded and don�t want to give too much away � fair
enough. But I believe currently we should try to post in a less
bragging / jibing fashion and a more helpful commentary fashion
when asked to or maybe we should be game and start asking.
If anybody has any thoughts I�m keen to hear�
Regards
Ben
