Re: [RC] [RC] supersale @ neighpersay....Bob - John Teeter

The general (although not written:) policy of ridecamp is to keep it clear of 
commercial messages. New members often don't know this (and sometimes people 
join JUST to send a commercial message). 

Generally, all commercial posts get a private suggestion re: the desire to keep 
commercials out. It doesn't always happen as sometimes I'm away from the gate. 

Sometimes, a public message goes out. This is to make sure everyone knows of 
the policy. 

Sometimes, like in the recent neighpersay post, I don't even worry about 
sending a message out. (as this was a going out of business kind of thing and 
it's the holidays .... I let it go)

With some, like Paddy:), it's just a hopeless cause. There is nothing that I've 
been able to do to get the point across... (although Paddy is MUCH better than 
in her early days!!:)

The REASON there is a policy is to make sure that the already large volume of 
posts which come through ridecamp does not bloom into a totally unmanageable 
flood of steam of commercial messages.

We've often tried to figure the best way for Steph's advertisers to get special 
deals out to the community w/o causing problems. Haven't yet figured the best 
way (but we're certainly open to suggests!)

There are a bunch of new things on the way which might make it easier to work 
with this issue.

anyway, that's the background as to why you sometimes see "don't put commercial 
messages in the stream" posts from me.

I KNOW everyone wants to know about the deals that might be out there! but my 
guess is that there would be so MANY that it would all get lost in the noise as 
all over our endurance tack vendor's announce THEIR price for a particular 
S-Hack under discussion ...

I'm open to suggests! (of list??:)
