Capitalism over free information on the shroomery

I have been ask to remove the links on my signature Because they don?t link to a shroomery sponsor websites, Its ok to have links in your signature if they are paying sponsors but not if they aren?t apparently I put those links in my signature because I feel that the presser cooker is The most costly and important investment a mushroom hobbyist Will buy, we all need one if we mature as hobbyist and I posted these links because I found a fair priced and trustworthy vendor, I have both read and responded to many post about presser cookers and feel strongly about it, but I was told quote ?Several of our sponsors sell Pressure cookers. You having links to Pressure cookers in your signature takes business away from Shroomery Vendors...which pisses them off and the Admin and I get notifications from them asking us to get rid of them.? (Roadkill) This site clamed to be about the free exchange of information and yet it seams that profit is the most important and trumps my want to help and recommend a vendor to the community just because they aren?t a paying sponsor
I am sure I will be reprimanded and many be even banned from this site But I believe the community at large would not agree with this kind of sensor ship. True its there web site and they can do what they want but that does not mean we have to Take it and just to consumers worth advertising dollars

You can get the same information out in a post, I would assume. I wonder if that is also an issue?
Curious.

The sponsors pay the money that keep this website up and running.
When you link to sources that arn't a Shroomery sponsor, you are taking business away from the sponsors. You are virtually taking money from them.

I agree Dem_Bones, this raises a touchy issue here at the shroomery... I'm curious to here what some of the Admins have to say on the matter
On the one hand though, the Sponsors do contribute the money that keep this site running. In my opinion, if that means we can't have constant round the clock links (as you would in a sig) to other vendors, thus taking money away from the ones that matter to this site, thats fine by me. I'd rather have the shroomery than a link in my sig
You gotta weigh the positives and the negatives, and in this case, the positives far outweigh the latter.
But on the other hand, it does conflict with free speech and other issues similar, which are also very important in my opinion!

>>>>The sponsors pay the money that keep this website up and running.
Yea, I don't really see this as a issue, I'd do the same. There's a line, and PCs are apparently on the same side as spores. What's going too far? When their business start to suffer, that's going too far. People should be intuitive enough to "shop around", that's freedom

End of story.

Actually Im on here almost every day :-(
Like Diablov said - "I'd rather have the shroomery than a link in my sig" I dont think its a big deal. Its not an issue of freedom of speech, its a Shroomery rule.

I hope this ends well. It would suck to lose a member of the mycelium that is this community.

I asked you to remove the 2 urls to a Vendor that you had in your signature.
please note rule #5
Quote:
5. Users are not allowed to have URLs, links, anything mentioning/promoting a vendor by name, or graphical advertisements to a vendor in their signature or avatar* .
Any Vendor!~
It is not allowed for anyone to have a url to anyone selling anything... in your signature!~
I was nice when I sent you a private message about this issue. I even was nice to you when I had to reply back to you...because you questioned what I was telling you.
Everyone else in this thread seemed to understand the rule!~
While I was writing this post Geokills one of the Admin of the Shroomery himself told you how it is... then locked the thread before I replied. lolzz
Follow the rules and you won't have to worry about...
Quote:
I am sure I will be reprimanded and many be even banned from this site
hell you weren't even making any $$$ from that site that is selling the pressure cookers!~ lolzz
Have a nice night!~
