Mr. Paul Walters 12,

You need to read the SuN rules of posting. To me, this comes across as pure advertising. You have been a "member" since Jan 15th. You have not bothered to completely fill out your profile .... no city, no interests, no nothing. It actually appears to me that you did the minimum just so you could post this advertising message. Mr. Paul Walters 12 .... I am here to inform you ... as a long time and dedicated member of the SuN community, your actions are not appreciated by me and I suspect many SuN Nation members.

There is nothing wrong with members letting other members know what they do. We actually have a place called the MarketPlace where we encourage members to thoroughly explain and promote their businesses ... but you wouldn`t know about this since you signed up to advertise to a growing audience of startup entreprenuers and you figured it was a big school of fish - throw some bait out there and see what happens.

Mr. Paul Walters 12 ... I don`t think your intentions were honorable or right or good. This is a positive place and we welcome newcomers with open arms ... however, we don`t welcome phisers.

I hope the SuN owners take you to the proverbial virtual woodshed and they use the belt and not the switch.

Special note from the chief community officer ...

keycon has appropriately expressed what we know to be the feelings of the StartupNation community regarding posts that are blatantly self-promoting. We completely agree. I spend time every day reviewing the posts that go up in the forum to determine if they meet the posted guidelines (there is a link in the left margin of every forum page to those guidelines). This is one I would have deleted and then sent a message to the poster alerting them.

In this case, since keycon beat me to the punch and so eloquently expressed his reaction, I will leave this post up as an example of the behind-the-scenes diligence that we take in our commitment to ensure that the forum continues to be a valuable resource for the StartupNation community.

I am also copying below the message that is sent to those who violate the posting guidelines. We now have a Marketplace here at StartupNation where the listing of products and services is appropriate and encouraged.

A special thanks goes out to all those like keycon who alert us to inappropriate posts by selecting the red  "Report abuse" link  located in the header line of every single post. This is your community and you help to make it great with your active participation.

Let`s keep STARTING IT UP!!!


Here`s the message sent to those who violate the posting guidelines:

Hi

Joel Welsh, here. I’m chief community officer of StartupNation. We love having you as a part of the StartupNation community and are thrilled with your participation in the forum discussions.

A recent post of yours was deleted from the public forum as it was deemed to not fit the Community Forum Posting Guidelines. You may not have had the opportunity to review the guidelines prior to your post, but please do so in order to ensure that future posts meet the guidelines.

While the forum is the place for discussion, the StartupNation Marketplace is where you can create free listings of the products and services that you offer, and also list available projects that you need help with.

I’d love it if you could re-word your post in a manner that is clearly providing value in the context of answering another community member`s question as stated in the guidelines, and then identify a discussion topic appropriate for such a reply. Or even begin a post by asking a question that other community members may respond to.

In the meantime, feel free to promote yourself & your business in your personal profile and in the valuable comments that you provide to current topics. That`s really the best way to get the community interested in what you have to offer - if they`re impressed with your contribution to the community conversation, they`ll be more inclined to click on over to your profile & check you out.

One of the active StartupNation community members landed a big client because the customer saw how he had interacted in the forums & was impressed with what he read!

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me directly.

We LOVE to hear from the StartupNation community, and we especially are excited to know about how we are impacting the lives of entrepreneurs.

Cheering for your great success,

Joel

 

Ps in case you don’t have a copy of your post, I’ve included it below so that you may use what you’ve already written to create a listing in Marketplace or add to your profile or edit to use in other forum topics …
