I agree and disagree, at the same time with the suggestion that @F7N gave.
The other, I may agree to it, only if they changed. Let's examine one by one with my POV.
Member must be at least registered for 30 Days.
I would say, this can be reduced to about 14 days (or 2 weeks). 30 days is too long, like @rudra said, we're not famous enough like LET or other IT discussion forum. So we should not be too restricted at this moment.
They need to make 15 Quality posts.
I would say, they only need 5 quality posts before they can promote. At least they can contribute to our forum at small point before they can promote their services. If you're making a requirement that will be very hard, sometimes people that are lazy will not promote, and leave this forum. If you're not too restricted, like make 5 posts before promote, they may do it in 1 day (15 in 1 day is crazy). If you say it's a spam, I would say, no. They are not a VPS holder. so they will not be restricted to 4 posts/day policy.
They must be a provider that not gone in a few months like what users did no names posted.
How can we know if they will not gone in few months? We're not a magician nor shaman (I get that shaman from Google Translate, LOL). This policy may be change to the point @deanhills said already. The business should be alive for some moments before they can promote it.
No overpriced hosting plans
It's very hard to give low price hosting plans nowadays. I would not say too much about this, I never be in hosting provider POV, maybe @VIP roles holder, which is hosting provider, can give a comment to this.
Advertisement out-side the category to be deleted.
We're too restricted if he's out of the category, then straight delete given to them. I would say, let them know, if we can do, move the topic to some topic that is related. If they sell a product and not related to IT, we can straight delete it, but if they sell hosting at Cheap VPS topic, we should not straight delete it.
Quote:]Which do I agree?
- No advertisements from banned hosting provider where under: MOFH / Banned providers in the current list.
- One advertise per seven (7) days (VIP/Staff P4V does this rule not exist)
- They must provide a good description about their hosting, so no one-liners or copied from other advertisers.
- Must provide a real Privacy Policy followed by their region/country (Hostlease in this case follows the EU Privacy Policy Rules)
