  • Blatant commercial posts ... a spot for thanks.

    Thank you admin gods, for closing the blatantly commercial threads that we get from time to time!

    We are bombarded by so much advertising in our daily lives that it is nice to have a sanctuary such as HT where the litle banners can be easily ignored because they are unobtrusive.

    Now, don't get me wrong -- some advertising is worthy of loving -- and I've reported on ad/marketing awards, etc.

    You know, I'm just sayin' ...

      I only learned something recently...

      That the little triangle to the top right of the posts... is a button that you can push that will warn the Admins of a post you feel shouldn't be on HT...
      It specifically states what it should be used for so read about what it should and shouldn't be used for.

      But I must admit they do an excellent job of not only keeping spammers out... but also keeping HT a civil and enjoyable place for most of us.

        It also serves, for me, as a guide to a business I would NOT want to do business with.

        Spam belongs on a musubi not TH.

          Coincidentally, I'd noticed that business while waiting in line for gas at Lex Brodie's and made a mental note to check it out as I'm looking for a certain product for my car. When their spam hit today, that did it. I won't be giving them any of my business. Not that that will make 'em or break 'em...

            I feel some compassion for the small business owners that dont know better. Maybe he thought it was okay to spam message boards and is having a tough time keeping his business open and was desparate.
            Still annoying though.
