Quality post in this forum means you should write in a way that will help others and just not to earn money

Guys,
Please understand a very important thing here -
this forum is NOT meant for those who join with the sole intention of making quick money... I am really very surprised to see the no. of accounts being created lately with the sole intention of making $$ (Lakemen, are you listening?)
These users are giving me a tough time moderating their posts. I personally dont see any value being added to the forums from majority of posts coming from these "money-makers"
I would seriously suggest some improvements in the forum policies to help curb this rising menace.
Lakemen, jump in buddy! :)
PS. Lori, Juanita, Fatman - would you please share your thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Evan

evan,
Trust me I don't Post here for the money..!
With the time I spend researching/verifying before I comment on any topic I lose money. A lot of money with every Post I make. But I don't mind, because some things need to be said no matter what the cost.
On another thought at times I'm still just a kid at 58. Still like to have fun and play when there is a chance.
Weelllllllll. that's enough rambling for now.

Can you share those improvements ? Rather what i feel that all the TOS what currently prevails is really a vague one and need to be elaborate enough.
I can understand it is really a tough job for a moderator to weed out 'those' posts from the quality posts.But Nobody can control in the entire world what any person can post on the board but only thing remains with the moderator and the webmaster is to remove 'those' posts.
It might be a very time consuming but it need to be done and as for now i do not think there is any alternative for this moderation practice. :wink:

Nothing much to say...only that this forum should be regarded as a platform to share knowledge and not merely as a place to earn money!

Could not agree more!

You mean all the points mentioned in the TOS are vague? :roll: :shock: Let me know which point you have difficulty understanding in and I would try to help.

There is a solution for everything. I am not in favor of entertaining wrong practices on the boards.
Thanks,

Hi Evan..

There's no wonder why the TOS clauses have started seeming so vague to many. Each day it's becoming more and more difficult to earn those easy bucks!
You should ask him to show us an improved version of the TOS now. :)

When i used the term 'vague' it was not for defamation of the board but just wanted to urge a serious attention towards it.
It's not the question of the payment but the act of 'removing the post' for no reason is really sucks.when person put some post and it is removed from the discussion (i never get info on why it got removed) then person gets disappointed and thus looses the enthusiasm to post further.
So in this matter i termed it as 'vague'.May be due to that some guys got hurt by that terminology then henceforth i need to use some soft lang.

Person won't get annoyed by loosing the chance for earning some quick bucks but by some 'extra' remarks by the board-members.

Hi Amit,

I think, I've come across more than one clauses in the TOS which clearly show us the reasons for such post-deletion.
Actually, it never hurts when you're earning..it only hurts when you're paying out...especially while paying out for a bunch of posts that are either copied or repetitive in nature.
Some of our friends have set examples for others over here..and believe me, we're really proud of them.
