Advertorials/sponsored threads: a new marketing service
Re: HHADvertorials, a new marketing service
Not trying to get into trouble, but... should someone advertise on here and not provide good service or product, would the negative comments about their business be allowed on the general forum, or would the forum owners protect them from such negative publicity even it it was deserved because they are a paying customer.
Seems like there could be a possible conflict of interest between the forum owners, members, and advertisers...
I understand that the forum needs revenue to exist, but also, people depend on forums like this for honest information when they are trying to make decisions on where to spend their hard earned dosh.

My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?
Re: HHADvertorials, a new marketing service
We do not currently censor the forum or "protect" sponsors and we will not in the future, we do however try to prevent slanderous comments towards individuals or businesses as would any publication that wishes to avoid legal action.
Those with advertorial threads will be able to choose whether to leave them open for discussion or have it locked to prevent it. If a client has a problem with a business they should take it up with the establishment, not us. That said we are well aware of the often critical nature of some of our members so advertisers will be made aware of the medium on which they are marketing their products. It will not suit everyone but those that do embrace it and run their business professionally will reap the rewards.

Re: HHADvertorials, a new marketing service
Will they slot in under a current appropriate sub-forum, or all be given a sub-forum of their own?
Talk is cheap
Re: HHADvertorials, a new marketing service
They will be placed in the appropriate sub-forum.

Buffalo Bill got the chop for being a pain, and they used to sponsor this site, so i believe it to be fair all round if you conduct yourself in a professional manner its a win win situation or if you are that stupid, in Bills case not to heed warnings and respect this forum you will get banned.hhfarang wrote:Not trying to get into trouble, but... should someone advertise on here and not provide good service or product, would the negative comments about their business be allowed on the general forum, or would the forum owners protect them from such negative publicity even it it was deserved because they are a paying customer.

Re: Avertorials/sponsored threads: a new marketing service
Due to the popularity of the advertorials and to make it fair on full page sponsors we are no longer permitting web links in them - those that want to update potential customers can do so in their advertorial rather than driving readers off the forum to their own sites.
Web links, signature links, and full marketing options are available to our full page sponsors, we believe this is only fair considering the price difference. Advertorials are a simple, budget and basic way to use the forum to update our readers on your business events and promotions.
