Can we not have ads please
-
@brad I wouldn't ban people based on the belief that they're trolling and or anonymous. There's a whole sector of peating with a comedic edge to it on X/Twitter. I've just seen far too many accounts with the red BANNED next to their name, even on people I was having a conversation with. It's fine if you want to ban lots of people, but I'll just take myself back to peat twitter if that's the case.

@Sugar People are free to post anonymously. The trolls were for example someone who posted the same image 100 times. If you give me a specific example of someone I can clarify why they were banned.

I'm hopeful that the traffic this site gets would yield to donations, but I know realistically most people won't donate.
I hate to be the contrarian but I don't see any issues with a few ads if it helps with hosting costs. I'd rather deal with a few ads and have the site, then rely on donations (which may not come) and lost such a rich resource.

@Sugar who are you even? please do go back

Unrelated ads should be understandable; and may be acceptable, depending on the context. First and foremost, the admin should be completely open about the cost of running this site, and share that with the members of the forum with each significant change of cost.
The problem starts when either the admin or forum members who sell things online start using the forum to advertise. That should not be allowed. No one should even be allowed to share what they sell, with a link to their website, in a forum post; so much so that even sharing what you sell, and your website in a private message should not be tolerated, if this is to be truly a good forum.
This is my opinion.

Okay everyone. I've installed the unobtrusive ad. Feel free to pile on now.

@brad As for others advertising or discussing products in the forum, I have no issue with that as long as it's informative and not done in a "spammy" way. If there are more than a couple we can even create a section of the forum for merchants that's dedicated to this (and not allow such posts outside of it).

@CO3 how about you go back communist coal poster. YOU WILL NEVER BE PEATLER.

@brad it may be the most unobtrusive ad I've ever seen

@eric That’s what I was going for. Glad it hit home for you.
