I don't know if we've been too lax, or if it's the full moon or what, but it seems that some people need reminding about where we can and where we cannot post advertisements on CoinTalk. I don't think we're making this hard, really, but let me explain it...... You may NOT post advertisements, or self-promote, in ANY of CoinTalk's discussion areas. Period. Nope, we won't even make an exception for you, you, or you too. k? No, you can't post a link to your Ebay auction in the Coin Chat. You can post it in the auction listings. No, you can't post a link to your coin software in the US Coins section. You can post it in the open advertising section though. No, you can't post about your new forum that's going to crush CoinTalk any moment now, mkay? Right here's where you can post your ads: http://www.cointalk.com/f5/ If you want to consider sponsoring CoinTalk with display ads, or other types of sponsorships, please contact me. That's all. See, it's easy!
Thank you for posting this reminder. I have noticed a few members, and new threads, that seem like a thinly veiled attempt at hiding the fact that they're just advertising their stuff.
Please do use the report post function if you see anything more like that. None of us have time to read all the posts every day, and the reported posts are a huge help. Thanks
Green18: [Green18 has just asked why this is against the rules. Hobo smirks] Is this funny, sir? Hobo No, it isn't. It's tragic. Green18: Do you have an answer to the question, Colonel? Hobo Absolutely. My answer is I don't have the first darn clue. Maybe he wasn't smart enough and liked to pick his nose. And maybe he didn't have any friends. I'm an educated man, but I'm afraid I can't speak intelligently about the travel habits of DimeFreak. What I do know is that he was set to leave the base at 0600. Now, are these the questions I was really called here to answer? Phone calls and foot lockers? Please tell me that you have something more, Lieutenant. These CoinTalk Members are on trial for their lives. Please tell me their lawyer hasn't pinned their hopes to a phone bill. [Green18 hesitates, dumbfounded] Hobo: Do you have any more questions for me, Counselor? Peter: Green18? [pause] Peter: Lieutenant, do you have anything further for this witness? [Hobo defiantly gets up to leave the courtroom] Hobo: Thanks, Green18. I love Washington. Green18: Excuse me. I didn't dismiss you. Hobo: I beg your pardon? Green18: I'm not finished with my examination. Sit down. Hobo: Colonel! Green18: What's that? Hobo: I would appreciate it if he would address me as Colonel or Sir. I believe I've earned it. Peter: Defense counsel will address the witness as Colonel or Sir. Hobo: [to Judge] I don't know what the **** kind of unit you're running here. Peter: And the witness will address this court as Judge or Your Honor. I'm quite certain I've earned it. Take your seat, Colonel.
