Dear OTLand Admins/Mods/Global Mods/Staff,

It has come to my attention that there is this conflict of interest in OT Advertisements because some OT owners like to flame other OT Ads for purposes that are too common to our human nature. Particularly, this happens with newly formed OTs who wish to get attention by trashing more established OTs' Advertisements. To prove my point, take a look at Narkia, Xoria, and Underworld. These are big names in OTland, and yet they are the most flamed ones.

This problem is partly induced by not having a more comprehensive rule that shields advertisements from unjustly flamming and trolling. For a small reference, I wish to direct your attention to rules laid out at another forum, which has to-date about 5.2 million registered memebers:

Posting Rules
Anyone found to be intentionally "trashing" or "trolling" in another user's advertisement thread will be suspended.

Any requests or offers for spam, warez, pornographic, or other such hosting deemed inappropriate for WebHostingTalk will be removed and the member's account may be disabled without notice.

Negative comments on advertisements are not allowed. For example, if you think the price is too high or the design isn’t good, leave the ad for other people to form their own opinions. If you think the offer is fraudulent, please contact the helpdesk. (WebHostingTalk Forum)

I hope to see OTLand out-grow all of its competitors, and to achieve that, I firmly believe that you must solve this conflict of interest issue. OT Owners shouldn't be allowed to comment, especially negatively, on other OT Ads.


Thank you
 
Im pretty sure the devs know what their doing. :)
I wont point out reasons why this is bad..just read my first sentence.
 
Everybody should report the offtopic/insulting/flaming etc.. post. Then we can deal with it. Everyone knows that insulting others will get you in trouble..
 
Thanks Master-m, and the other moderators/global moderators/admins.

Hopefully you guys will consider making a rules sticky on Ads section to make it clear so nobody dares to break rules.

Thanks again.
