Q: TL Policy on Spamming, Solicitation and Advertising by Members | Thread profile

Since at least one of the mods yesterday seemed to have a problem with interpreting and applying the TL rules with regards to solicitation and advertising by a non-TL sponsor (meaning a member who thought that he could spam TL with solicitations for "donations" for his new $500 course without being a paying TL sponsor), could you kindly update the community on the TL rules about spamming, ...

I'll reply since I'm sure you're referring to me. There was no misinterpretation, upon asking a long term member in good standing I was told that James had approved the thread. End of discussion on that as far as I'm concerned. When things got out of hand I locked the thread down and PM'ed James to await his decision on the matter. It's his site, therefore it's not up the gander to publicly vote...

Considering that the policy still hasn't been clarified for the benefit of TL members - and notwithstanding the specifics of this incident - could James let us all know, once and for all. And also, if the "member in good standing" had told the mod that he had James's approval, then why was his "approved" thread DELETED and the member's signature line (which had a link to the $500 offending ...

My though is if a long standing member who contributes often decided to post a link to a project they had been working on (such as a pay service) I would not have a problem with that. Now don't get me wrong. If it got to the point in which evertyone was posting things like that , well then a more severe set of rules would have to be kept to. It does not seem to happen a lot here. On the other ...

Hi, Ill write a follow up but currently off from the desk so will make this brief. After consideration and feedbacks from members of TL, I have decided to implement a zero tolerance policy for promotion/ad/spam on the forum. As much as I think it would be creative to allow members to promote their works, these can lead to disastrous outcomes and the future of TL may be affected by it. ...
