I tend only to delete threads when the advertising is blatant and it is clear that the advertiser should be paying for the service.
Which was exactly the case.
I am looking for a couple of ....
kicking off a post and then repeated the following day ain't no heads up. It's a person paid for doing a job recruiting others who will be paid to do a job.
That's a straightforward commercial transaction using PPRuNe. We object to that. At it's heart we object to it because in 11.5 years of running PPRuNe we have never issued an ad or press release and we haven't taken any money from you to view the site.
Despite never advertising there's a quarter of million now signed up. We don't demand any money from you to see the pages but the numbers mean huge costs to keep the site there in front of you every day. You can use your skill and judgement to work out how it is your forum appears today.
Our decision is not to take a penny from you but to pay for the site by charging people who want to get your attention as aviation pros.
In return the deal for PPRuNers is no tacky souvenir shop, registration charges, audio ads, pop up ads and, most importantly, sold off membership lists to direct mail organisations.
That's it, that's how we have chosen to do it.
Companies pay to get your attention and not the other way around.
