I know it probably shouldn't bother me, but for some reason leaves a bad taste when another site only posts on this site to draw attention to their material.....guess I should just forget about it:)

At first glance, it bothered me too. But then I figure that we all came from there and some of us still check the posts. It's not like it is selling something.

Infiltration is the sincerest form of flattery.

Interesting advertising concept I guess.

I thought I smelled skullduggery.

Gee, I wonder who Grogheadsdotcom could be...  :D

Interesting advertising concept I guess.

I'm not sure it's advertising as much as desperation. Apparently their own audience is insufficient so they're trying to get more here.

<shrug>

We'll think over whether we want to permit this in principle - it's certainly not good taste and of questionable ethics.

While they have more to lose by us posting over there and pulling their dwindling audience here, I don't think it behooves any of us to stoop so low and I wouldn't encourage folks to go over there and counter-post.

^oooppps. Too late.

They could post some more news stories about software for playing Hearts. That will grow their member base.

in addition, i doubt this kind of blatant cry for a little trafic is sanctioned by Slitherine management ...i will talk about this and all the other recent fails at the Wargamer with JD in person, when i see him at the Spiel2012 trade fair in October.

Personally I don't think any site should allow a user account to post with the only purpose being to advertise another sites content, equates to spam and really bad taste.  It might be different if the user account participated in other general discussions but this account clearly is used for advertising.

My vote would be to not allow it for this account and any other account like this that would come along.

Why would it bother you?  Spammer?  Is there a ban on promoting another site's relevant articles?
