Cross Posting on APUG & LFPF

[jnantz]

I'm posting this after contact & response with moderators & people respected on both Forums.

The recent spate of Cross posting the same Post on both Forums has become a total farce. They are quite different Forum but with a very large common membership. Either post a new question on one Forum or the other, which ever is most appropriate.

We don't want to see, read & answer your posts twice. Many people deliberately use different nick-names on the two Forums but they are so transparent and obvious, and it just makes you look idiots.

I'm not saying don't post a question on both, just post on one first, if you don't get your answer then post a day or so later on the other. Same goes for selling items & wanted posts.

At the moment it's just polluting both Forum, and it is ONLY done by photographers who are members of both.

If it persists the best option is that the two Forum amalgamate.

I don't have a problem with posting ads in multiple forums, so long as the poster keeps up with their ads and marks stuff sold everywhere they listed it when it sells. The ones that really bug me are the ones who post ads that are nothing more than a link to their Ebay auctions. You want to sell on ebay? Sell on ebay, but posting a link to your auction does nothing more than generate more advertising revenue for ebay.
