Mining Issue

I received a condemnation from another forum today that relates to "mining". Basically what I did was recommend to another user the forums that could enhance their RV experience I was told that is against forum rules. I didn't and won't disagree, but feel in this world of free transfer of knowledge and services, that is an archaic rule. If a person can't use or transfer their knowledge it limit our ability to transfer knowledge, which I personally believe is in jeopardy across the interweb. I'll abide by their rules, however will NOT continue to believe the transfer of knowledge is free. Nuff said. Facebook be darned.

Yeah Buddy.

It is a forum G2, a huge forum, I think they are just stupid.

Originally posted by Tars Tarkas I agree, it's totally silly.  It may have something to do with ad revenue though.  We go off on some tangents here, but it seems like we generally try to provide the best info we can.  To that end, it seems a shame that we can't say that there is more, better, info on such and such a forum no matter where we're posting.  Sharing info is pretty much what the internet is all about.  TT

I do not believe I have ever heard or seen this happen here. I personally talk about other groups, forums, and pages from time to time. If you feel like you have been moderated in some manner for mentioning other resources, please let an admin know.

Wow, it never occurred to me that some internet boards/forums have rules against referring to other boards/forums.  And what the heck is "mining" in internetspeak? But, I don't do twitter, facebook, etc. so what I know about internet etiquette could be written on the head of a pin, along with the dancing angels of Thomas Aquinas.
