I wanted to ensure a clear separation between being qurank webmaster, and being a PS sponsored climber. No special treatment for PS on qurank. Therefore I needed to put into place a system that would work for any and all unsolicited commercial posts. Basically, any unsolicited commercial post must be approved by a moderator first. It must be posted in the For Sale section. It must add value to members (i.e. it would want to be a pretty huge sale). Any deviation from this would result in deletion. So far, there have been about three (?) such posts. Other retailers are welcome to the same treatment if they so wish. Out of interest, in the qurank General Discussion forum right now, you can see a post extolling the virtues of Rock Hardware! (here)
