Ethics in classifieds!?

[Skylark]

Lol, talk about a storm in a tea cup.

 

I don't think Anythingbut's suggestions that brought on carbon29ers rant was uncalled for or out of order but then again sometimes it's hard to tell if carbon29er is trolling or not. Can't you filter the classifieds to exclude dealers?

 

As Anythingbut mentioned, I wonder if Bike Market does pay his fees to Admin as a dealer selling in the classifieds?

 

Saw the other day Bike Market had 3 pages of complete bikes for sale, a good R100k or 2's worth at the listed selling prices.

And here I thought it was Sunday... seems like a hub Friday

Handbags at the ready boys. Glad I got on this before it gets deleted!

I wonder the same about Mr 29er. He seems to be fairly single minded and focused on sharing his opinion as aggressively as possible.

ironic the ethic discussion turned very unethical very very entertaining

Shame, poor little you.

 

Perhaps read the thread BEFORE giving us your 2 cent opinion. You might then realise EXACTLY how advertising on the hub works.

 

And before you say chill, do us a favour and read threads BEFORE you comment on them as you'll learn quite a bit about the topics that the threads cover.

 

Then remember that the hub is free, yes free, to you because people like me pay for advertisements.

 

If you are going to exclude my adverts because I'm a dealer then it's not worth me paying to advertise. How much are you going to pay ADMIN to be a hubber so he can keep the site running?

 

Damn that escalated quickly....and as said before, it's not even Friday!

the mention of that name makes my blood bubble, boil and toil. cant stand opening the classifieds and find 2 pages of them! and knowing the history, I do not want to buy a bike from them. Although if they gift me a bike, I will take it.

 

But okes, please put your ego's back in the box, please please please.

Take the information Carbon29er has imparted and ignore how he's decided to impart this information. Bear in mind the hub is a business, you are part of the product, so is are the businessees that pay to advertise. If you remember that maybe next time you can just sigh, and click through the paid for adverts.

P.S terms like moffietown -really unwarranted.

Sometimes I find it hard to believe the hub has people older than 12...

[T-Bob]

Not trying to start *** but I can't believe that any repeated adverts can possibly annoy the Sh*t out of so many people. It must take about 2 - 4 secs to scan a page and click the next. There are  also filters. It's not like they have robbed you of a hour of your life. Seriously, if the ad doesn't appeal too you move on it's not exactly a major hardship. What were you planning on doing with that 2 seconds? Solve the current carnage on our roads? 

 

It's a free resource, it's open to everyone. Really are we actually getting a hissy fit over and over again happening because we see adverts on a free site, that 99% of people don't contribute financially to and the advertisers of these *many* adverts have probably boosted through a couple of the monitiezed solutions that The Hub adds for revenue?  

 

Honestly I love this site, have had great conversations, met good people, solved problems from advice, bantered and honestly given for nothing for that but sometime the baaahing of the righteously indignant about the smallest issue is beyond a joke.

If I recall correctly, the issue that started this thread was bikes being bought by a dealer/shop that re-advertise the very same bikes at inflated prices.

 

I did attempt to give a constructive suggestion which was ridiculed - again.

 

The possibility of charging dealers/shops to advertise should at no time result in us, the general user, be charged for accessing The Hub. It might only encourage responsible advertising from said dealers/shops which in turn protects the end-user (us).

 

(Unfortunately I cannot sit back, keep my trap shut whilst being told off and ridiculed on a public forum. For that I do apologise)

I too love this site.

 

I thought I was giving a constructive suggestion. If it was such a shitty one, then carbonguy could have explained it to me.

 

Accessing The Hub classifieds from a phone does not give you any filters other than viewing the various subsections (no dealer/shop filter..)
