I was contacted by mods here regarding posting links to fishing reports on my blog. I understand the issue you have brought up and appreciate the rational soft sell request. Just to clarify my blog is completely non commercial even though I believe Wordpress will display ads to those clicking on my blog. I use the blog to post my fishing/travel stuff because it provides a central place for me to store these adventures. I used to post long detailed posts to another private site but the site crashed and all was lost. I post only to private clubs such as here and Fulllspeed and often put a LOT of effort into my posts and enjoy sharing intel and lies. Let me know if that is cool.
This a great website you have here.
Is there somewhere we can refer to where the rules are specifically delineated?
I agree with Pole Pole. Lots of folks pushing their wares/services here. Maybe it is time to sell advertising space on the site for those who want to commercialize.+1 or make a subscription based subforum for things like that
If I have crossed a boundary by my posting for sale items or any other actions regarding my employment , and it has caused any discord ,I want to make it right.
I have a habit of becoming exuberant over fishing , fishing gear and tackle. My intent is/ was to share that excitement and I forgot about crossing that boundary.
I respect the site,moderators and all the NCKA brothers and sisters and if it messes with the Chi,Karma or Spirit of NCKA I offer my sincere apologies.
Respectfully,
Vic/VK
Are we still cool to sell the stuff we make in the classifieds section?

We really don't want to make hard rules for this. Otherwise the rule would likely be "no posts of a commercial nature", and we really don't need to go there. For the most part, people know when they are pushing the limits. If there is any doubt, don't do it.
And no, it's not directed at you Doug, unless you're trying to sell me some legal service to spell this out in no uncertain terms. :smt006

It's cool to sell in the classified, as long as it's not overdone.
If my fishing reports are part of the issue then I'd ask how they're different than they've ever been. Yes, I posted a link to my dysfunctional blog, and I thanked a friend/mod for pointing out that other members have been criticized for it in the past and then I promptly changed it. I also refer to how I'm a guide in the process of giving my report. There's usually lots to read in my reports, it's all true, I come from the heart, and if people don't want to read it they don't.
I don't plan to change a thing other than not posting a link to a blog. If I'm out of line then please say so in this open forum, and I'll cease posting.
Maybe you mods/admins can PM the offending parties and let them know so the non-offending parties can stop wondering if their actions are offensive?There ya go, advertising fish again... lol
Dunno...I just like posting and looking at pics and vids of fish being killed.

Fair enough...but then you're assuming that the "offenders" will read this thread, realize you are talking to them, and change their behavior....
While at the same time you are making people like VK and AbKing question if their actions and participation are "offensive" or not....which you've since clarified they are not....
Up to you guys, but I bet 95% (at least) of folks who are active members of this community would prefer to be told to knock off a behavior/action rather than an ambiguous thread leaving them unsure if their actions are offensive enough to have people complain about them....
Just my 2 cents.

I don't see the problem. I'm not going to chase anyone down, at the same time those that are wondering are asking, and judging by the number of inquiries, the message is being heard. Again, this isn't about singling anyone out. And for the most part here at NCKA, group conscious rules at the end of the day. Enough of the group has heard, and in the end I have no reason to believe that the right thing won't be done.
Of course now I have to figure out what to do about you posting a picture of a naked dude with an undersized ab.
-Allen
Lmao!!!I saw yours live. Cold water does shrink em
Hard to see caliper reading but it's actually a 10+ inch ab....
I have other pics with naked folks and abs that are better....
But those are classified....

What about adding something like a "Marketing / Business Development" forum?
I've enjoyed following some of these up and coming businesses, but I agree there's a time and a place. Why not create that place?

You're all good, bro.
I think simply putting up links to your C-list stuff would be frowned upon.
Taking the time to post the description and pictures of what you are offering here along with the CL ad is welcomed and appreciated.
I'm pretty sure this was just meant as a friendly reminder.
It's really not that big of an issue, just something for everyone to keep in mind.

Because where do you draw the line?
You know, every year we (admins) discuss what the commercial policy should be here. And every year we come to the conclusion that it more or less just works as is, so no firm policy is needed. Every now and then we have to send out a reminder not to overdo it, and we're fine with that. Things more or less just work as is in this community. :3some:

Ok re-do I`d be in that 66.6% :smt001 and the other 1/3 ARE argumentative and defensive :smt002
