| Quote (jordanpaulk @ Dec. 18 2002,1:30 pm) | My understanding is this, the major issue is the porn, which is understandable.  Afterall, if I wanted to go somewhere and post a bunch of porn it wouldn't be Hotboat, more like here, but that's beside the point.   The second issue is threats of violence and scathing personal attacks, which never seem to be that much of a problem.  The other things are minor, like threads off topic, and I think that is more along the lines of keeping the tech side of it more techy and the sandbar the area for chit chat, and then the spam.  How many times have some of those boat threads come to the top?  If it didn't sell, it's probably not going to.  I paid to have the Schiada placed in the classifieds on Hotboat, so I don't see a problem with that either.  Just my .02.

As far as spam goes, sometimes it's ok and sometimes not IMO. I love to think that I may get a deal from one of our friends on the boards like Rexone for example. Mike is here primarily to talk boats, boating, and with people into that. Secondarily, we know that he may be able to answer specific questions about boat parts. That's VERY cool. What I hate is when someone posts topics in multiple forums solely to sell their product(s). It kind of reminds me of telemarketers. Now the big question I have is what will be OK over there and what won't. Will hypertext link signatures be OK? I use those, but I don't even sell anything over here. The whole point of this board and site is to have fun and share information.
