Drillbits & Bottlerockets

[Mattu]

I see the commercial ventures here similarly as to how celebrities and the press are viewed. Since the commercial ventures are here to solicit money from your membership, the membership has every right to be critical of their actions. And if the commercial venture steps out of line...they are held to a higher standard than a normal member. Same as with a COB. COBs are the cops, the cops have to be held to a stricter interpretation of the rules and if they violate them, the reprecussions have to be more severe.


>>How would you feel about the idea of marking the threads such as Jenna, Merill Lynch, and the JXM International Private Pay Site as "Premium" boards and/or even making them pay to be here and let them advertise till their hearts content on their own boards. Letting people know they are backed by companies. Kind of like making this place Wall Street. You know what is what. You have your residential areas and your commercial areas. Sounds kinda cool to me.

>>One other point I'd like to make. Business ventures succeed because they are good at what they do. If some commercial site has horrible plays, then their user base will dry up and they will shut down. People don't pay to lose money very long.

See, we are making progress now!
