Offers post getting long

It whould be nice if there was a rule on how many lines we can post. So companies post are about very, very long and it makes it hard for the user to read them all. Just my 2 cents.

I agree, we don't need to know every single feature of cPanel/Fantastico

Also to help with the post and run host, who post some times like this:
We will help you, im us.
I say:
When answering a request, you must include
1. The URL to the plan
2. The price
3. Describe or name the features that match the original request.

Not all hosts offer the same features as others so this part is kind of important i think.

If each host has different cPanel/Fantastico/Other features, provide a link to those features if someone wants those. But not everyone will want that, I agree with Corral. Posts should be like this:

__ Space
__ Transfer
Control Panel Type (Nothing more on C.P.s)
Link to plan
Price
Other crap asked for in request

Then a link to "Features"

If not, maybe a LIL bit more for server information requests and all that stuff but about this size is all thats needed.

Yes thank you. I mean for one it slows down the forum, and the reader. For two, they re post the same long offer, when adding something.

Yeah... I see that some threads get "recycled" when inactive for so long which is good but I think that it should happen a little bit more often, altho some people disagree... I don't really mind tho too bad, my computer is awsome so it's always fast for me, but still. I'll try to keep in mind length next time I make an offer... Altho currently I don't have a site so my posts may be a lil longer :-P (well, I have a forum but no actual priced plans yet... Just got my server today and I a newb when it comes to pricing stuff)

Well, I rambling so i'm just gonna shutup!

It's not as much the length. Some people, like Virtuoso Net Solutions, just repost the same post of about 250 lines, each time they want to "respond" to a request. It's not an actual response, just the same spam repeated over and over again - disguised as an actual response.

The moderators don't seem to care, so I'm presuming he's a pal.

What do you purpose we do? Ban them for posting too many characters? I guess counting exactly how many characters is an option for those with no time but for me personally I couldn't enforce that as it would take too much time.


I also find it funny that some of you whom have posted can not keep up with the current rules yet your purposing new rules?

You do manage to enforce other subjective rules, I can't see why this would be different. Not complaining, you do a nice job keeping this a fairly clean forum. Just expressing my opinions on the matter.
