In order for Mammut Climbing Shoes thread to not go any more off topic than it is.. i'll post it here.
Armyiain: "I hereby withdraw my previous comments on other threads" the now locked thread obsessedclimber started...
Spam Schmam!! I just wonder whether said locked thread would have been considered "spam" if I had notified fellow chockstoners of the MD DFO Opening... Crazy rediculousness

The DFO is in DIRECT competition to our sponsor Rock Hardware. The plug was by a paid employee of
the company. You can't get a worse example of spam than that. If we let this slide then every store could
start posting its specials onto this forum. It has happened before...

People may be suprised how powerful this forum is as a marketing tool. Where else in Australia can you
connect to over 200 climbers a day - on a daily basis? No magazine can boast this sort of advertising
potential. If companies want to use this forum for advertising purposes then they need to PAY for the
privilege - just like any other form of adverting. A simple single page ad in Rock magazine costs many
hundreds (or more). Back covers cost thousands of $.

Yeah, I was just saying if I had mentioned it opening.. being a non employee with no benefits coming from the store selling stuff... know what i mean? Depending on who says it, depends whether its considered spam..
Like if I was to say there was a sale on at Cliffhanger I would consider that spam.. but if a regular to the gym had mentioned it.. would it just be considered informing? And the examples could keep going..

Your employer was one of the first examples of a spamming Chockstone! (back in 2002). It is not new -
we have beeing trying to edit out this stuff for years.

so it is dependant on who says it? whether it is considered spam?
If a newbie walked into said gym and then comes online and posts about said sale. spam or not? If another climber walked into the DFO and saw the said store open, comes online and posts about it's opening, spam or not?

If the person is not directly or in-directly financially benefiting from the post then it is not considered
spam. This includes people receiving discounted product form the company in question through formal or
informal sponsorship. Sponsored climbers are also advised to not plug their 'free' gear without disclosing
that they are sponsored.

Don't be too harsh, mate ... the musings of Mikl suggest that some ppl like to get therapy on CS for all sorts of things ... many generation X ers who were once skinny dwarfs are now rationalising and justifying being climbers with fat arses ...

Still a bit distracted by this ... it can be the very experience, that induces someone to NEVER go climbing again ... or in the same moment of the extreme intensity , actually program ones bio-psychological-perceptions of how to get regular psudo-ultimate-orgasmz... the human-optimistic-mind wants to assimilate the experience as ' I was pumping, picnic-ing and hyperventilating '

I reckon it was about the closest I have ever come to a full blown panic attack. Luckly i kept it together,
grabbed the chain and clipped in. Stupidly i only had one quickdraw as well - so even when i was clipped
in I was not a happy chappy. Luckily the rope actually pulled through this time. Of course to top it all off -
the bloody 50m rope didn't reach the ground from the rap chain! (but thats another story all together).

p.s. a 50m rope doesn't reach the ground from the rap chain on World Party top pitch either. Learnt that
lesson last weekend.

>reckon it was about the closest I have ever come to a full blown panic attack...

& that, of course is the danger/addiction ... one is tempted to contrive a similar scenario, at same point in the future, so that the experience can be re-lived in a rational/controlled manner vsv " ... oh WHY?! did I react that way last time ..."

The addiction being the incredibly enlightening/toxic combination of cortisol, adrenalin, endorphinz, seratonin ... which the mind/body craves ... the magic fix being only (once program by such an experience) available ... just ....... beyond............ reach ................outside the comfort/contortion zone of the postmodern-bio-technological-paradigm ...
