What is going on?? (Read 744 times)

[MadMarty13B]

We shall compromise

The job offer was for some work in Australia. If anyone would like details of the offer please PM Kiwiinoz for further details. The hourly pay from memory was in the vicinity of $25-$30.

Best of luck in your mission to help the speedway community.

Perhaps we could do with a new board for non-speedway discussion.

that was a post in another thread that has been locked twice by Percy
this is not an attack on Percy but rather a question, why bring up about a new board for non speedway discussion( which is probably a good idea) when there have been non speedway related discussions be going on for years?,This chap just wanted to offer someone from the Macfgors community a job opportunity and you jump down his throat?? I dont get it at all Percy where you are coming from

Its advertising that would otherwise normally have to be paid for. Therefore he should go through Mr Macgor and sort out a price for the said advertising.

Can't be for a new keeper Dave. Greg Dyers already applied for and got his old keeping job back. He makes Haddin look like an amateur when it comes to wicket stealing... oops I mean wicketkeeping.

I don't think I'm jumping down anyone's throat, just enforcing some of the rules we have on the board.

Macgors NZ Speedway Discussion board now has at least 2,400 registered users with countless others who frequent the boards but have not registered. This has been achieved though the hard work and dedication of a man who has committed thousands of hours to making this board the success it is.

From a commercial perspective that traffic is worth money in terms of advertisers being able to expose products to users.

The situation, from a commercial perspective, is like a shopping mall. If you were to set up a stall in the middle of a shopping mall and try offering jobs you would be turfed out by security in no time. That's because you're trying to use the shopping mall's foot traffic to sell your product. The same reasoning applies in an online sense, contributors trying to make use of online traffic generated by Macgor.

I don't have any problem with speedway people trying to help out other speedway people, of course it's something to be encouraged. But where do you draw the line? The job in question is not speedway related. Next someone else will come along and advertise their second hand vehicle business. Then the next guy comes along and signs up to the board for the purpose of advertising. The the next guy goes a step further.

The line has to be drawn somewhere and it has been drawn at no advertising. The only exception to this that I am aware of is for the Macgor T-Shirts which I believe was done with the consent of Macgor.

Yes we do have off topic posts from time to time on the discussion board. However if there is any advertising going on it has been deleted.

Sorry for making such a big deal about your posting Kiwiinoz but we need to clarify the situation for everyone. Hopefully Macgor will see this and do just that because I think it's got to the point where a policy on Advertising is required to aid clarification.

Hope that helps to explain

Marty , advertising is advertising , how much of it do you want on here and if one can do it then why not all? .

Well said.

And I agree wholeheartedly.

Marty, if your gutted you have missed out on a job opportunity, PM Kiwinoz. NO doubt a man of your posts will fit in well in Australia.

And don't worry about missing out on the stockcar season. I think we all know how likely it is to see your return.

all the best in Oz.

cheers

The obsterversera

p.s maybe a jobs for speedway inclined people can be included in the buy or sell pages? At whatever price it would be a good deal, as there are a heap of speedway fans on here. Mind you, working would be one long smoko session about how much the panthers cheat, how expensive ministocks are, and how superstocks dont hit anymore.
