Kudos to Jake...

Kudos to Jake (I never thought I would say that ;D ) for this post

Hi All,

Over the last few years we have given great latitude when mentioning other sites. We always felt that when discussing baseball fundamentals that it would be very helpful to site original sources (as long as it was not the primary purpose of the site to sell). We still feel the same way... However.. some members selling services or product have placed links to their (or other sites) in their signatures which clearly violates our policy. See below:

Baseball Fever is not a promotional environment. Advertising of products, web sites, etc., whether for profit or not-for-profit, is not permitted.
Over the next few days Cannonball and I will be removing them. We will make every attempt to contact the forumer as they are removed. We would greatly appreciate your help in this matter. If you have questions PM Cannonball or me.

I hope he enforces it. Because honestly, it would eliminate one of the biggest "self-promoters" out there...

It's been a year. How have we done in this regard?

Coach, I'm fairly certain you've cut down on the self-promoters non-sense... ;D

In addition, Jake did the right thing by banishing me years ago.

I believe you've done very well. The amount of self-promotion is markedly down.

Are you looking for a pat on the back?

Brett,
Great job on not banishing me yet! ;D

[Cannonball]

Brett, no not looking for a pat on the back. I could care less what some think of me. However, we were accused of allowing certain activities on BBF and so Jake and I did our best to make some changes. This topic was still on the front page of this portion of the forum and so, I thought I'd ask. If it bothers you or think that it is promotion of another site, please remove my post.

Per Chappy's remarks, I really don't know who all is banned or not banned. I know at least one member of this site was banned by the owner of BBF and so, neither Jake nor I banned that member.

Take care,

Darrell

I don't see any need to remove this, I was just trying to understand why the need to ask here.

It is on the front page of this forum because it is a relatively slow forum, with Hitting and Pitching taking up the majority of posts here. Had there been more posts in the forum this topic would have been buried.

I am all for the changes made...good on you for that. Just kind of scratching my head as to why you would feel the need to gain confirmation here on your responsibilities elsewhere.
