We are a trust worthy ISP dedicated to supplying quality Internet Access to all New Zealanders.

239820 2004-05-29 01:08:00 Hi DreamNet

You are aware that this is a commercially run IDG site where one pays for advertising? Advertising your ISP service on this forum is not appropriate. You will find this clearly stated in the Rules (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz).

Quote:
8) No commercial posting, spamming, or otherwise using the forum to promote products and services purely for your own gain. This doesn't stop you recommending products and services to other users, nor does it stop a vendor discussing their products in relation to a post. But users who post purely to promote their business/website may find their threads deleted along with their user ID.

239821 2004-05-29 01:37:00 Lets keep the advertising to a minimum guys,

Im aware that the origional poster may not have had any affiliation with this company, but Im sure that if people wanted Flat-Rate Dial-up for less than $20 per month then they could look in Netguide or wherever.

While Im sure some do appreciate knowing there is competition out there in the low-cost ISP market, this is not the place to tell them, so lets not go there.

Savvy?

As a moderator, you will soon learn that IDG might like you mentioning a competitors publication in this forum. Especially when they whipped the pants off iMag in the race to see who stayed on the newsagents bookshelves

>Savvy?

I'll have mine between two slices of bread with tomato sauce thanks

BTW: Wheres your chess piece or are you are pseudo-moderator ?

239823 2004-05-29 08:38:00 Sorry to disagree with you JenC,
but the way I see it, Dreamnet was just responding to a post about his service, and according to rule 8, which you quoted,he is quite entitled to do so.

I have to disagree with Moderator also,as many times in the past,this type of topic has been discussed freely and frequently,without any reference to the rules.So whats the problem with this one?
As a matter of interest,I have no affiliation with said ISP.

Yes my thoughts too.
I thought I was going by the rule 8 also

Pretty sure it's the new "stealth user mod" that was introduced after that Billy T guy caused all sorts of problems a few weeks back ;)

I think "moderator" is a real moderator, as (I think)he lock this thread:
pressf1.pcworld.co.nz

I have e-mail Bruce Buckman to ask if "moderator" is the mod he has appointed

See this thread: pressf1.pcworld.co.nz for more information
