Code of Conduct - Needs revision?
-
Hi guys,
I’d like to start a discussion on a possible revision of the CoC in light of the growing number of users, and the requests which are coming from these users.
One of the things which has prompted this is the requests and prolific postings by fendlestick. I have no problem with the items he’s selling, but he appears, in my opinion, to be using the forums here as a free store window.
His requests to have a separate sub-forum for each class of his wares is not appropriate, as it would not be appropriate for any business wanting to promote their wares. I believe that any and all merchants should be allowed to have a dedicated thread where they can let people know of items they’ve placed in the Marketplace, or of special offers they’re running or anything else related to their business activities, However, I do not feel it appropriate for any merchant to be able to use a forum which was set up as a general resource for those interested in Feathercoins to aggressively market the items or services they’re selling.
However, it is only fair that this should be spelled out in the CoC, as well as some specific statements on flaming and trolling, and I’d like to rework the CoC. Does anyone agree or disagree with this?
Stefan
EDIT: I have misread fendlestick’s request, I see now that he requested extra categories in the Marketplace rather than subfora in the Market forum. The main points still stand though in my opinion, we need a more specific CoC.

I agree, it’s not a free advertising site after all ::) Charge him 1 BTC per advertising post, that should work :)
