Vendors Day at RC Universe? Good or bad idea?
hey...what do you guys think of having a "vendor day" at RCU where we allow one day every 3 or 4 months where a vendor or any commercial entity can post whatever products they want in the forums? As it is now we do not allow commercial posts by vendors, distributors or retailers as it can serve to clutter the forums. However if we did this 3 or 4 times a year for one day only it might allow both the little and big guys to get a bit of exposure here for the products we are all interested in. Not everyone can afford an ad believe it or not so a one day grace posting period every 3 to 4 months might be interesting.
They would be limited to 2-3 posts in any 3 forums maximum. It would be a one day affair only.
Policing it is simple...if the originating date of a commercial post is not on our "vendor day" then we know it is a spam.
As I said it would only be something special we would do 3 or 4 times a year at most.
What do you fellas think? Good, bad or ugly?
Should we try it at least once to see if it is interesting? If so I would announce the day via a sitewide post and vendors would have a week to prepare their announements.
