No Politics Rule?

(1/4) > >>

Traxx:
Being that it is a site Rule,that all members,must adhere to,then why am i seeing a big add at the top of my page,touting Harry Reid?Seems a bit hypocritical,for a web board,with a NO POLITICS RULE.

Justin Snyder:
There is nothing hypocritical about it. We don't control the adds at the top, Google does.

Traxx:
So,are you saying,that PA has absolutely no controll,regarding what is advertised on their site?

Justin Snyder:
Google adds are all over the internet. Google makes deals with website owners and with advertisers and acts as the go between. The adds are determined by what is on the site and change every time you change pages. If someone has typed bows google looks for adds about bows. That is why we see craft store adds selling ribbon bows. The topics are often outdoors on PA so you will see a lot of truck adds because that is one of the key words that the auto dealers have specied.

Traxx:
Regardless of the reasons for it,Do you not see this,as a double standard towards the rules of the Message board,that all other members are expected to adhere to?

Now i will admit,that im not up on how buisness is conducted,over the internet,but if this is done as a buisness agreement,i see that as a sellout,to the integrity of the site and the rules laid down by the powers that be,for all others to follow.Lets take for example,the signature at the bottom of your posts.I see that as a violation as well.While i may agree with what it says,its still a violation of the rules,and therefore a double standard,especially when it is being commited by a mod,whos job it is to monitor and mediate such violations of such rules.By any definition of the word that i know,thats Hypocracy,so yeah,i think ill go with that definition still.LOL.
No slight towards you personally,but rules are rules.Is there no way the Powers that be,can be a bit more selective,or have a say in what pops up on the screen of their website?Personally,i come on here to escape political topics.I deal with them,in too many other aspects of my life,nowdays.Also,Being a Nevadan,the last thing i want to see or hear in my leisure time,is anything about Harry Reid,trust me.I can fully understand why the rules were adapted as they are.Political and religious topics,allways insite dissagreement and unhealthy debate,creating havoc for all concerned.The recent examples shown,could lead to that same atmosphere.
But Hey,who am i to say.You guys do what you think is right.
