Mainstream message boards & god complexes
What's the deal with mainstream message board and how strictly they are run. Mods with god complexes enforcing BS rules, post editing, removing posts & threads non-stop, bannings, etc.
Anyone else notice this or is it just me? |

I used to be a moderator at Site Point. Very strict. Lots of kids actually.

Because mainstream isn't run like a bunch of 19 year olds running around insulting eachother.
They usually try to remain professional.

get on msn ![]() Most mainstream bbs are visited by kids doing $100/month. Very few Real business people post on them. A decent one is http://www.howtocorp.com/cgi-bin/web...oframes/#17109 |

They are really uptight. Since most of the people who are anal on those boards aren't making much money, the power of their board persona is the only thing that keeps them going in life.

The board I was looking at when I thought of this thread topic was a chat board for Reality TV shows. You would think when you're discussing shows that are basically fueled by BS drama that the board wouldn't be so uptight. I was reading their posting rules and they're pretty high strung...

A lot of those criticisms are valid! That's why my company made MainstreamWebmasters.com -- as a place where people who want to do REAL eCommerce can -- and they DO!
Yeah, we still don't allow spam. And no it IS non-adult, so you can't curse like a sailor either. But we already have seen board members increase their earnings, create new business relationships, and offer special values for our registered users in the brief time we've been up! SitePro is strict as hell. Webmaster World won't take advertising because they say it would prevent people from having open opinions. (???) They won't allow ANY taglines in your posts whatsoever! WW even says in their rules -- I swear this is true! -- if you talk too much about a site of yours that someone can figure out what it is and get to it, they will delete your account! WTF is that??? Insane is what it is!! Yeah, mainstream boards ARE bizarro. We're gong to change all that and help propel them into year 2005 where they should be. ![]()
