TalkPTC on a scale of 1 to 10? I'll give it 8. The site is good but I find the rules here to be quite stiff, necessary though they may be to fight spam.
what part of our rules do you consider 'stiff'
General Rules:: - No, no hidden or shortened links.
Success Stories:: - Only post screenshots, do not link to proof on blogs or anywhere else.
Q1: Can I ask why? I usually use shortened links
Quote from: Aurorawhat part of our rules do you consider 'stiff' Well, here are some of them:QuoteGeneral Rules:: - No, no hidden or shortened linksQ1: Can I ask why? I usually use shortened links (like L i n k b u c k s) on my signature on other forums.Q2: Does this rule apply to forum signatures too?.A1: if we allow linkshorteners our mods have to click the link to check for a ref link and the spammer gets paid for spamming. They will continue to spam until they get banned and then they make dup accounts and start all over againA2: the rule applies to the whole forum but people clicking a sig are interested to see whats there so i don't see a problem with sigs. we will allow linkshorteners in sigs we added the linkshortener rule years ago and a lot has changed since then so we will take another look at the rule and see if we can somehow fit linkshorteners into our system sometime in the near future QuoteSuccess Stories:: - Only post screenshots, do not link to proof on blogs or anywhere else.Q1: Can I also ask why? A1: several reasons 1: it shows us delays in payouts. we have one thread per site so its very easy to see when a site changes from paying in 1 day to taking 6 weeks2: authenticity. members come and post their own proof. if they link to sites we have no way of knowing if the payment proof is real. some admins fill their own forums with fake proof. 3: and probably the most important this is a ptc forum and we want the info here, ready and available to our members. we will support our members any way we can but we expect our members to support us too. we are not here for people to just spam a link to a blog and leavethanks for taking the time to post. its always good to get a fresh point of view and if something is beneficial to our members we are always willing to consider changes
