Josh and thread contributors, please private message me some examples of what you`re referring to. clearly we`re not catching as much as we should. happy to upgrade our efforts in this area!
 
Rich (and SuN team)



Will do Rich.  I will go through some threads tonight/tomorrow and pm you the ones I found distracting to the site.

Yeh, all the people hawking their services   ... just messing with you.  That is good, this is by far the best forum I have found but it could be so much better with some tighter rules implemented.  Its just the business and entrepreneur segment on the internet is so chocked full of spammy pages and people pushing their "get rich quick" schemes it sorta jades you.  So it would be refreshing to not see any of it rather than towing the line, even if it is "good" people pushing "good" services, it still taints it.

Hope that makes sense.  Look for my pm`s tomorrow, I got tied up tonight and can`t look through the forum right this sec.

Josh,
 
Thanks for the nod. We`re doing our best! We`re extremely proud of how we`ve encouraged members and users to do our marketing for us. Unfortunately, there are always those who abuse the system. I hope we can lean on you, other post-ers in this thread and other SuN members to help us be diligent in weeding out the garbage!
 
Best,
 
Rich

Yeah, I agree. I`m new here and love sharing ideas and helping others but the outright advertising (the ones who just say call me and adds no value to the discussion) should be deleted from any discussion thread.

But that`s just my opinion.
